Over the last three years the Gallery’s conservation team has been working on a major project to restore Pieter Brueghel the Younger’s A Village Fair (Village Festival in Honour of Saint Hubert and Saint Anthony), now dated circa 1615–20 (formerly dated circa 1632). This painting is part of the Mackelvie Collection.
In this interview, painting conservator Genevieve Silvester shares her insights into this fascinating project and the stories it has uncovered about this beloved artwork in the Gallery’s collection.
