Greco-Roman Funerary Portraits in the Ashmolean Museum Collections © Ashmolean Museum, University of Oxford
We’re delighted to announce the publication of a new online subject bibliography, ‘Conservation of Greco-Roman Funerary Portraits’ by paintings conservator, Jevon Thistlewood.
The earliest unearthing of a mummy portrait was 1615, and these beautiful, naturalistic and near life-sized portraits on panel have fascinated ever since. Find out more about the techniques of production, scientific investigation, archaeological context and conservation in Jevon’s top pick of sources!
