Ingres’ Drawings: Retrospective Conservation Practices

Résumé

In the 1950s, the poor state of Ingres' drawings collection at the Museum of Montauban, France, motivated an important restoration project that was locally monitored yet supervised by the newly created French Museum Inspection, based in Paris. This project may be considered to be the starting point in France of a new way of defining conservation policies. It was largely inspired by the first ICOM meeting in Paris in 1948. It was overseen by a conservation committee that undertook an innovative approach, promoting transparency, questioning bleaching treatments, considering the quality of the materials being used and inciting open cooperation between paper restorers. The present work, realized during the 150th anniversary of the death of Ingres, recalls the historical background of the project emphasizing its originality. Drawings that were bleached at that period were reexamined to evaluate side effects or long-term impacts of the treatments that were applied.
