    This illustrated lecture by leading conservator Joyce Hill Stoner tells the story of paintings found underneath other paintings using x-radiography, the step by step reconstruction of a painting by Charles Willson Peale, and advances made in cleaning materials designed to remove discoloration due to varnish and nicotine. Stoner’s work at Winterthur and the University of Delaware has also brought her into partnership working alongside living artists, from Robert Motherwell to Andrew and Jamie Wyeth, and her talk explains many of the contemporary issues in painting conservation.
