Watch as we clean Anthony Alder's 1895 painting 'Heron's home'
The artist’s original colours are restored in Anthony Alder 'Heron's home' 1895 showing the full tonal range and sharpness of image. The varnish layer is removed using cotton swabs and a carefully-tailored solvent blend, revealing the artist’s original colours, and restoring the full tonal range and sharpness of image.
Once a prominent colonial Queensland artist, Anthony Alder (27 December 1838–1915) and his works had all but vanished from public memory until, in 2011, his descendants' estate was offered to the State Library of Queensland. In mid 2011, the State Library’s Curator of Heritage Collections, advised the Gallery that 'Heron’s home' was available to a public collection. Here, we reintroduce you to one of his works Heron's home 1895
