S8 E1 • Charles II Painting, Arab Chest

Großbritannien 2017

Painting conservator Lucia Scalisi welcomes a historic portrait of Charles II into the barn. Owner Liz remembers it hanging in her grandparents’ dining room when she was a child. Now her son Dylan is fascinated by its history, so they are hoping it can be brought back to life. It’s a fascinating fix for Lucia: as she removes layers of dirt, it becomes clear just how old the portrait really is.
