What happened to Nelli’s Last Supper?
At 6pm on Wednesday, November 6, AWA Director Linda Falcone will giving a lecture at Florence’s British Institute on Lungarno Guicciardini 9, entitled: ‘What happened to Nelli’s Last Supper?’ This will be the guiding question during the BI’s Wednesday Afternoon Cultural Program. Expect the ins and outs of four years in the restoration studio and stories from many more years leading up to permanent public display at Santa Maria Novella on October 18, 2019. Where was Nelli’s painting during 450 years of its history? What most sparked the interest of experts during the restoration process? What does it mean to restore a painting 360 degrees? What did it take to have Nelli debut inside the collective consciousness? What did Advancing Women Artists learn about the painter in the process? A journey of reflection and restoration—featuring the largest painting by an early woman artist in the world, and the only Last Supper painting authored by a woman pre-twentieth century.
