The painting dedicated to the glorification of St. Cristina by Velasco has been relocated after restoration

The painting depicting the Glorification of St. Cristina by Giuseppe Velasco has been relocated. The restoration work was carried out by restorers Rita Agnello and Giuditta Ermio, and involved the painting, the gilded wooden frame and the plaster frame of the Chapel of Santa Cristina.

The restoration, in particular that on the canvas, involved the removal of an altered and particularly yellowed film layer that obscured the bright colors of the painter’s artistic technique, in addition to the numerous retouches that did not conform to the original painting and date back to previous interventions.
The restoration work made it possible to restore the pictorial refinement of the draperies and anatomical elements of the characters, respecting the principles of recognizability and reversibility of the restoration.
