During the exhibition Homo Faber: Crafting a more human future (14-30 Sept. 2018) at the Fondazione Giorgio Cini in Venice, two works by Italian Renaissance painter Paolo Veronese were digitised with the foundation’s Lucida 3D scanner. In collaboration with Open Care’s Department of Conservation and Restoration (Milan), Factum Foundation scanned Veronese’s diptych, depicting the Prophet Isaiah and the Prophet Ezekiel, owned by the Gallerie dell’Accademia. The data, gathered before and after the diptych’s restoration, will be used to inform and document the cleaning of the paintings.
