Restoration easel painting by Lucila Engels
Painting restorer Marjan de Visser and Art historian Joseé Thissen-Rojer discussing the possibilities of retouching an easel painting by Curaçao artist Lucila Engels. Lucila made this painting in the Seventies of the Twentieth century; it depicts a ‘harbor scene’. The Insurance Company ENNIA bought it soon after it was finished.
Restoration project Landhuis Bloemhof 2008
This – restoration easel painting by Lucila Engels – project is not the first collaboration between Marjan en Josée. Joseé brought Marjan to Curacao in 2005 to investigate the painting collection of Landhuis Bloemhof. And three year later the conservation of the Bloemhof collection was a fact with the financial help of UNESCO. Together they hold a lecture about the conservation process.
