The Muskegon Museum of Art will host conservator Barry Bauman in a presentation “Solving the Cranach Mystery Surrounding the Portraits of Martin Luther & His Wife Katharina von Bora,” 5 to 6 p.m., Thursday, May 6.
According to Bauman, an acclaimed conservator and art historian and a former associate conservator of paintings for the Art Institute of Chicago, every painting has its secrets.
During his 46 years of experience treating and analyzing damaged paintings, he has uncovered many of them—lost signatures, hidden dates, and entire paintings beneath other works. Two of his discoveries were so phenomenal they landed on the front page of The New York Times.
Share in the joy of one of his most remarkable discoveries on the Muskegon Museum of Art’s two 1537 portraits by Lucas Cranach the Elder.
The event is free and open to the public, but registration is required at https://muskegonartmuseum.org/event/zoom-presentation-by-painting-conservator-art-historian-barry-bauman.
