Art restoration of one of our largest paintings: Relining Van Dyck's 'Charles I' | 2

With a painting as large as Anthony van Dyck's 'Equestrian Portrait of Charles I', it was always going to take more than one person to help restore it. Thanks to the Getty Foundation’s Conserving Canvas initiative, we've had help from a team of experts from museums around the world. Watch how they got on with relining a painting that is over 12 feet tall and 9 feet wide.
