Panel Paintings
Panel paintings require specialized care due to the complex relationship between the wooden support and the paint layers applied to it. Changes in temperature and relative humidity can cause the wood to expand, contract, warp, or develop cracks, affecting the stability of the painted surface.
Each painting is treated individually, with the aim of preserving as much of the original material and artistic character as possible.
