  • National Dimensions
    ONS NATIONAL DIM NATIONAL DIMENNATIONAL DIMENSIONS NAL DIMENSIONS DIMENSIONS NATIO This report was researched and written by AEA Consulting: Magnus von Wistinghausen Keith Morgan Katharine Housden This report sets out the collaborative work undertaken by the UK’s nationally funded museums, libraries and archives with other organisations across the UK, and assesses their impact on cultural provision across the nation. It focuses on the activities in recent years of members of the National Museum Directors’ Conference (NMDC), and is largely based on discussions with these institutions and selected partner organisations, as well as on a series of discussion days hosted by the NMDC in different regional centres in July 2003. It does not make specific reference to collaborative work between NMDC organisations themselves, and focuses on activities and initiatives that have taken place in the last few years. For the sake of simplicity the term ‘national museum’ is used throughout the report to describe all NMDC member organisations, notwithstanding the fact that these also include libraries and archives. In this report the term ‘national’ is used to denote institutions established by Act of Parliament as custodians of public collections that belong to the nation. It is acknowledged that the NMDC does not include all museums and other collecting institutions which carry the term ‘national’ as part of their name. Specific reference to their activities is not contained in this report. Published in the United Kingdom by the National Museum Directors'

  • 3 NOVEMBER 2017 the Hidden Layers: the Preparatory Layers And
    KATOOMBA, NSW, 1 - 3 NOVEMBER 2017 The hidden layers: the preparatory layers and their impact on the conservation of paintings. Presenter: Celine de Courlon Co-authors: Simon Ives, Paula Dredge, Andrea Nottage, Brian Singer, Gillian Osmond, Ljiljana Puskar ABSTRACT All the traditional layers of a painting, including support, sizing, ground/preparatory layers, paint film and varnish layer influence its aesthetic. They also determine the way the painting will age and how its structure may weaken or change, thereby modifying or disrupting the painted image. However the preparatory layers are less often studied and analysed than the other layers in conservation research. Hidden between the support and the paint film, they areusually only partially visible on the edges or through somedamage to the paint film. In three different cases - Hugh Ramsay’s The Foil, 1901, Tom Roberts’s Jealousy, 1889 and Frederick Leighton’sWinding the Skein, 1878 - the materials used by the artists in their preparatory layers have proven to have had a primary role in the current condition of the three paintings. The first two have extensive drying cracks and the smooth porcelain-like surface of the latter has been disrupted by the formation of a profusion of tiny lumps. All three paintings have recently undergone major conservation treatments during which the preparatory layers and paint films were analysed. The preparatory layers of Hugh Ramsay’s The Foil and Tom Roberts’s Jealousy, were analysed by FTIR and GCMS which identified in both the presence of poppy seed oil. Analysis of the preparatory layer of Frederick Leighton’s Winding the Skein, revealed the presence of zinc white as well as the detailed structure of the soaps agglomerates whose formation also seems to have involved the use of poppy seed oil.

  • Edward Armitage RA, 19Th Fresco Paintings
    19th Century Fresco Paintings at St Marylebone Parish Church 1943 photographs showing war damage to windows and fabric and the frescoes painted by Edward Armitage, RA at first floor gallery level Looking to the North (Liturgical West) Looking to the South (Liturgical East) The fresco paintings (now painted over) on the first floor gallery level between the windows in St Marylebone Parish Church were carried out by the illustrious Victorian Royal Academician Sir Edward Armitage (20th May 1817 – 24th May 1896). Sir Edward Armitage, RA, Self-portrait (1882) Family background Armitage was born in London to a family of wealthy Yorkshire industrialists, the eldest of seven sons of James Armitage (1793–1872) and Anne Elizabeth Armitage née Rhodes (1788–1833), of Farnley Hall, just south of Leeds, Yorkshire. His great-grandfather James (1730–1803) bought Farnley Hall from Sir Thomas Danby in 1799 and in 1844 four Armitage brothers, including his father James, founded the Farnley Ironworks, utilising the coal, iron and fireclay on their estate. His brother Thomas Rhodes Armitage (1824– 1890) founded the Royal National Institute of the Blind. Armitage was the uncle of Robert Armitage (MP), the great-uncle of Robert Selby Armitage, and first cousin twice removed of Edward Leathley Armitage. Art Training Armitage's art training was undertaken in Paris, where he enrolled at the École des Beaux-Arts in October 1837. He studied under the history painter, Paul Delaroche, who at that time was at the height of his fame. Armitage was one of four students selected to assist Delaroche with the fresco Hemicycle in the amphitheatre of the Palais des Beaux-Arts, when he reputedly modelled for the head of Masaccio.

The National Railway Museum (NRM), which opened in 1975, was established as a result of the transfer of the British Transport Commission’s railway collection to the Board of Trustees of the Science Museum.
