T R AV E L G A L L E R Y ONE OF THE GREATEST MASTERPIECES IN LONDON’S NATIONAL GALLERY has returned
to public display following a 14-month restoration guided by the latest scientific imaging and
analysis. The Judgement of Paris, painted around 1632, is one of Peter Paul Rubens’ best-known
works. It shows mythical figure Paris deciding which goddess, Venus, Minerva or Juno, is the
fairest. Imaging shows how
Rubens altered his painting
and subsequent restorations
after the Flemish painter died
in 1640. After cleaning, the
gallery’s conservation depart-
ment decided to make the
changes visible, including
uncovering “ghostly” cherubs,
as they remain part of the
painting’s history. The Gallery
has produced a video of the
restoration process. national-
