The Louvre has cleaned it’s magnificent Hans Holbein portrait of Anne of Cleves… it’s been transformed
Holy shit! That is fantastic.
I'm always amazed what a clear punk face the picture gives her. Would look absolutely natural with an eyebrow piercing and pink hair.
OK, but if she doesn’t really look like the picture I’m breaking up with her.
Holy crap the blue!!
Those are some awkward hands.
@bcdreyer.bsky.social, you might want to your inform your friend about the newly restored "Anne of the Thousand Cleves."
Why do I always like the dirty version more?
Museum restoration is such skilled work. There was a lovely BBC programme about the restoration work continuously happening to all the artefacts at the V & A in S. Kensington . A glorious diverse museum well worth visiting!!
