The detachment of wall paintings from an original wall support is carried out only in exceptional cases today. However, from the early decades of the 20th century until the 1960’s, this technique was among the methods used to prevent further decay in, or even to avoid the complete loss of, wall paintings. For this reason, many conservator-restorers are now involved in the conservation or maintenance of paintings that are detached from their original support.

The Rijksmuseum, the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands (RCE) and Museum Het Rembrandthuis are delighted to announce an international, interdisciplinary symposium on 6 and 7 February 2020 entitled "Drawings by Rembrandt: Connecting Art History, Science and Conservation." The symposium will highlight exciting new research and imaging techniques that have recently been applied to the drawings of Rembrandt and encourage discussion between art historians, conservators and art technologists.
