Lucia Scalisi The Repair Shop

Scalisi appears on The Repair Shop on BBC as a Paintings Conservation expert. The show focuses on restoring and conserving the wonderful treasures found it people’s homes. She features alongside Steve Fletcher (clocks restorer), Will Kirk (cabinet marker), Kirsten Ramsay (ceramics conservator), Jay Blades (host and furniture restorer) and Suzie Fletcher (saddle maker and leather restorer)

One of the paintings she restored on The Repair Shop was in Christmas Special where she worked on a European-style picture from the colonial era of South America.

” It’s a well known and relevant Christmas subject ‘Virgin and Child’ painted ‘Statue‘ style, imitating statues commonly seen on the Church altar – it is not a realistic figure.

During the 16th century onwards artists from ‘Old World’ Europe sailed into the New World. As well as producing work in the European style, artists taught individuals from indigenous populations to paint in the European style, providing for the rapidly growing market in religious imagery.

This particular painting is remarkable not only because it is in the statue style and tells much ‘news’ from the old world, but in the face of the Madonna we see the face of an indigenous Quechua woman.

The style might be European but she isn’t.”

When is a brunette not a brunette? This is as exciting as it gets on a regular work day & can hardly wait to get back into the studio. One of Sir Peter Lely’s (1618-1680) ‘Beauties’ arrived. I could see it was heavily ‘restored’ & fairly recently too (prob latter quarter 20thC). Heavy handed treatments having squashed raised impasto for example. I can also see it isn’t the first campaign this portrait has endured & my intention was to go lightly, probably do little other than remove surface accretions & apply a glorious new modern varnish to saturate the surface. Then, as I perused the surface & start to ‘read’ it more fully…. a tiny cleaning test lead into a larger cleaning area & then a blond curl appeared! then the turgid green fabric turned to a delicate pistachio coloured fabric & a flaming autumnal orange wrap appeared from beneath a thick muddy fog of someone else’s idea of what it should look like ? & & & – more to do, but the question is, how do we stop people from doing too much? Why do restorers think it’s alright to change the artists’ (in this case Sir Peter Lely no less) original intention, let alone the personality of the original sitter?
