A View of Rome with the Castel Sant'Angelo
The canvas has been subject to a strict relining, which has somewhat affected the paint layers.
In natural light an historic campaign of restoration can be seen, notably in the architectural elements, where the later bitumen has separated. There is a small scratch in the sky at upper right.
Examination under UV light confirms the aforementioned campaign of restoration. There is a thick opaque varnish that precludes further examination.
