We took the back off a Michelangelo and it took 7 months | Saving Michelangelo’s Epifania Cartoon

Works of art can take years to produce - even when you're Michelangelo. However, weird as it sounds, conserving those works of art can take even longer, especially when it's a Michelangelo.

Join Emma Turner, Senior Conservator for Western Art on Paper, as she takes you on a journey through the painstaking and extensive conservation work on one of only two known Michelangelo cartoons: the Epifania. Starting with scientific analysis in 2006, we follow the incredible work of the conservation team up until the Epifania's final installation at the British Museum in 2025.
