On Friday February 13, 2015, between 12:30 and 2pm, a workshop on
the transition from egg tempera to oil paint in 15th century Italy
will take place in the galleries of the Metropolitan Museum of Art,
1000 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY.  The workshop will be led by Brian
Baade, Assistant Professor, Painting Conservation and Researcher of
Historic Painting Materials and Techniques at the University of
Delaware, Kristin deGhetaldi, PhD Student in Preservation Studies at
the University of Delaware, Dr. Timothy McCall, Associate Professor

"The Transition from Egg Tempera to Oil Paint in 15th Century Italy"
is part of the 'Learning to Look' workshop series organized by the
American Institute for Conservation in conjunction with the annual
meeting of the College Art Association.  First organized in 2002,
'Learning to Look' workshops bring together art historians,
conservators, and artists to discuss works of art.  Led by a curator
and a conservator, each workshop focuses on the material aspects of
one type of object.  Past workshops have focused on Classical art,
Abstract Expressionist paintings, Rodin sculptures, early
photographs, Cor-Ten steel sculptures, 19th century American
paintings, and the technical aspects of Claude Monet's paintings.

The workshop will be limited to twelve participants.
Pre-registration is required.
