art bites doges palace fire 2718336

The Doge's Palace in Venice has suffered multiple fires over its history, with the most devastating occurring in 1577. That blaze destroyed the Great Council Chamber, consuming irreplaceable artworks including a 1365 fresco by Guariento di Arpo, portraits of past doges by Titian, and paintings by Tintoretto, Vittore Carpaccio, Pisanello, Bellini, and Paolo Veronese. The fire's cause remains unknown, but its impact was catastrophic due to the chamber's concentration of highly valued Renaissance paintings.

An eerie Renaissance masterpiece, fresh from a four-year restoration process, goes on show in Berlin

Berlin's Gemäldegalerie has completed a four-year restoration of Vittore Carpaccio's painting "The Preparation of Christ's Tomb" (around 1505-20), removing decades of dirt and discolored varnish. The cleaned work will debut in a small exhibition titled "Tribute to Vittore Carpaccio" running from 20 November to 6 April 2026, alongside a dozen other works from the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin's holdings. The restoration, led by recently retired head conservator Babette Hartwieg, revealed new subtleties in the painting, including a striking sky with bright blue below and stubborn grey clouds above, and confirmed that a false Mantegna signature was added after the work was finished.

Berlin's Gemäldegalerie has unveiled Vittore Carpaccio's "The Preparation of Christ's Tomb" (circa 1505-20) after a four-year restoration that removed decades of dirt and discolored varnish. The cleaned painting reveals new subtleties, including a striking sky of bright blue and stubborn grey clouds, and will be the centerpiece of a small exhibition titled "Tribute to Vittore Carpaccio" running from November 20 to April 6, 2026. The restoration was led by recently retired head conservator Babette Hartwieg, who also reinvestigated a false Mantegna signature that had misled earlier attributions.
