FLORENCE -‐ Housed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy, the Adoration of the Magi from Italian renaissance master Leonardo da Vinci has recently undergone a series of non-‐invasive analysis to ascertain its state of preservation and to form the basis for a plan for future conservation. The results of the diagnostic project have been presented in a seminar held in Florence on 8th October 2012 hosted by the Opificio dell Pietre Dure (OPD). Preliminary results were presented during the seminar “Leonardo da Vinci’s Technical Practice: Paintings, Drawings and Influence” organized by the National Gallery in London in co-‐operation with the Centre de Recherche et de Restauration d es Musées de France (C2RMF) and the British Museum >>
