Scientific examination of this painting and its apparent ‘twin’ in Dortmund has given clear indications as to which one is the original.
In this picture we find an early use of a newly synthesised colour - Prusslan blue.
The cleaning of this painting presented particular problems as two sections had been added, probably in the 19th century.
Possible poor workmanship on the original panel, combined with an immersion in the Grand Canal in Venice, led to more than 100 years of conservation problems with this painting.
