About the author

Sarah Walden is one of Britain's most accomplished restorers. She trained at the Courtauld Institute and in Rome, and has lectured at Harvard University. She has worked at the Tate Gallery, the Louvre and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and been entrusted with canvases by Rembrandt, Vermeer, Titian, Holbein, Gauguin and Picasso. A critic of the Anglo-American style of restoration, her book The Ravished Image, with a preface by Sir Ernst Gombrich, did much to raise the level of the debate about conservation of art.

Reviews

[Mandy · Rating 3 out of 5]

More the makings of an article than a whole book - but interesting nonetheless. Just need some judicious editing to avoid getting bogged down in too much detail.
