SUMMARY:Zoom Rental | Revealing Forgotten Stories through Conservation
DESCRIPTION:The National Trust cares for over 500 historic places\, many of which have been central to defining moments in history. Yet\, beyond the famous places and historical figures that remain touchstones of our cultural legacy\, the Trust also cares for a vast collection of over one million objects. As the Royal Oak Foundation Conservation Studio has become a pioneering hub for the preservation of the NT’s collection\, it is no surprise that conservators have made new discoveries about NT objects through close observation and technical study. Conservation projects span a remarkable range—from some of the Trust’s smallest yet most iconic treasures\, like the plate of ham featured in Beatrix Potter’s The Tale of Two Bad Mice\, to large-scale\, multi-disciplinary undertakings such as the restoration of the upholstered Dolphin Chairs from Ham House. These efforts have not only preserved but also identified and revealed original surfaces and colours once thought lost. Our conservators’ work continues to deepen understanding of art history\, revealing everything from previously unnoticed alterations in Jacob Tintoretto’s The Wise and Foolish Virgins\, c.1546\, at Upton House to fresh evidence of Claude Monet’s working methods in Charing Cross Bridge (1902) at Chartwell. In her lecture\, Emma S. will update ROF members and friends and speak about new and upcoming conservation projects at the ROF Studio. She will also describe some of the hidden stories uncovered by conservators that have added new layers of significance and interest to objects in the NT’s collection.

SUMMARY:Dallas | Flaming June: The Making of an Icon with Patrick Monahan
DESCRIPTION:Frederic Leighton\, Flaming June\, 1895\, Museo de Arte de Ponce\, Puerto Rico \nJoin us in Dallas\, TX.\nIn-person Only!\nLord Leighton’s Flaming June\, now on view at the Meadows Museum\, is heralded as a masterpiece of Victorian painting. Yet\, its path to recognition was far from straightforward. Created in 1895\, during the twilight of the Victorian era\, the painting quickly fell into obscurity. By the mid-20th century\, it had vanished from public view—until its astonishing rediscovery in 1964\, hidden behind a fireplace in a Clapham house set for demolition. Through a most unexpected sequence of events\, the painting’s fame was rekindled\, and today it is a highlight of the collection of the Museo de Arte de Ponce\, Puerto Rico\, known as the “Mona Lisa of the Southern Hemisphere.” Join Patrick Monahan—advisor to the Museo de Arte de Ponce\, and contributor to Country Life and Vanity Fair—as he unravels the extraordinary transatlantic journey of this iconic painting\, from forgotten relic to one of the world’s most beloved artworks. \n\n\n\n\n  \nPatrick Monahan is a writer and independent art advisor\, specializing in British paintings\, drawings\, and sculpture from the eighteenth century to the present. A native New Yorker\, he is consulted by collectors and museums on both sides of the Atlantic\, including the Museo de Arte de Ponce\, Puerto Rico. His written work appears in Country Life and Vanity Fair\, as well as in the exhibition catalogue “Flaming June: the making of an icon\,” Leighton House\, London\, 2016. He holds an M.Phil. from the University of Cambridge as well as a BA from the University of Chicago\, both in art history. He lives and works in New York City\, with regular visits to London. \n\n\nThursday\, June 5th\nLocation: Meadows Museum at SMU \nIn-Person: 6:00pm (CT)\, Lecture will be followed by a reception\nTickets: Free to ROF and Meadows Members; $15 for non-members
