When
this icon arrived in our studio with several others, I flatly
told the client it was a lost cause and that I would most
likely just return it without charge, but for some reason
we could never get it out the door, as the owner felt we performed
miracles on a daily basis. So one day I thought I would give
in one more really good try and low and behold, the Virgin
Mary started to appear before my very eyes on that ancient
thick piece of warped wood that I held in my hand. To complete
the cleaning, and do the research and subsequent restoration,
the job was turned over to Stephanie Angleo of our staff who
expertly and professionally preserved the artist's intent,
and unintentionally caused rumors of yet another art conservation
miracle.
