Dear Mr Wennestrom,
We are the Sarti Gallery, owner of the painting by Simone dei Crocefissi that you have reproduced on your website. Would you mind to remove the image that you have (of the painting before cleaning) ? We can send you the image of the painting cleaned.
Yours sincerely,
Sandrine Le Nech
Thank you for your email. Please do send an image of the painting after it was cleaned. I think it’s very helpful and instructive to show that one aspect of connoisseurship is the ability to “see through” surface dirt and discoloration and recognize the masterwork that is otherwise obscured.
What’s your email address ?
I’ve sent my contact information to your email address. The subject line reads: “here is my email address for the Simone image”
I did send my email address to the gallery’s email address – please send me the Simone image and i’ll post it
Thank you for the wonderful job you are doing presenting the truth.
