Conservation completed in 2016 with funding from Beatrice and José Esteve.

This small panel painting depicting the removal of the body of Christ from the cross was previously relegated to storage due to its poor condition. It was restored in time to be featured in the 2016 Accademia exhibition dedicated to the artist: Il Paradiso riconquistato. Trame d’oro e colore nella pittura di Michele Giambono.

Restoration was entrusted to the expert hands of conservator Milena Dean, who also restored Giambono’s Saint Chrysogonus on Horseback from the church of San Trovaso for Save Venice in 2015.

For select projects, conservation dossiers in Italian containing limited textual and photographic documentation may be available for consultation by appointment at the Venice office of Save Venice and the Rosand Library & Study Center. For inquiries, please contact us at venice@savevenice.org.
