In the six months spent at the Musee d'art et
d'histoire, Geneva, Switzerland, as a staff member in
the dual role of paintings conservator and research conservator, there was achieved an excellent rapport
with the staff of the Musee, a work record which was
very successful, and research results which were
received with enthusiasm, having broad implications
for the Musee.
Following the two months as a contract conservator
in Vienna, research developments were applied
in practice, under severe time constraints and the
resulting treatment was successfully achieved with
the wholehearted support and co-operation of staff
and officials, resulting in offers of lectureships
and lecture tours for the Academy of Fine Arts -
Conservation School, Vienna in Austria and Germany.
In evaluative terms, it is considered that the
programme met the objectives very well, and in addition
the results have potential for part of an ongoing
programme of research into fire-damaged paintings and
varnish removal, with solid lines of co-operation in
the establishments in Europe.
