A Multimedia Room has been created for this project, and there visitors will have the opportunity to learn more about the technical survey. At computer kiosks, they will be able to examine the infrared reflectogram, which reveals Bellini’s initial drawing hidden beneath the paint layers.
Visitors may also view four silent videos created by Susannah Rutherglen in conjunction with the Frick’s New Media Specialist Lisa Candage and Metropolitan Museum of Art Paintings Conservator Charlotte Hale, who oversaw the study. In these presentations, specific elements of the panel — the sky,St. Francis, the flora, and the fauna — may be viewed and appreciated in relation to the results of the conservation study.
