In the Fall of 2010 the Currier Museum of Art loaned Jan Gossart's "Self Portrait" painting to the exhibition "Man, Myth and Sensual Pleasures: Jan Gossaert's Renaissance" on view at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This video shows the process that this masterpiece goes through when it comes off the museum wall and is loaned to another institution, including creating a micro-climate to keep the painting safe, inspecting the painting and writing a condition report, dusting, crating and finally shipping.

  • Just came back from London, where I visited the exhibition 'Jan Gossaert's Renaissance'. He was as great a master as Jan van Eyck!
