Among the most interesting pieces studied this year, we have had a magnificent artwork by Paulus Potter, a seventeenth-century Dutch painter specializing in landscapes with animals. A version of the Penitent Magdalene from El Greco’s workshop, that had been acquired in Madrid on the last century and that had been reviewed in the bibliography of the Master and his workshop since 1908, also arrived to CAEM from the American continent, without having ever been subject of technical analysis.
Continuing with El Greco, we are preparing the study of a magnificent Saint Francis of Assisi that belonged to the collection of the Art Historian Josep Gudiol.
It has been, moreover, a year rich in international relations, as we were hired for a campaign to study an art collection in Montecarlo and a beautiful eighteenth-century female portrait deposited in New York. Thanks to these and other pictorial studies carried out throughout this year, the CAEM continues to consolidate itself as a prestigious centre for the study of artistic works worldwide.
