Join us every Friday at noon for a 30-minute gallery talk with curators, artists, and community voices exploring art, the PMA Collection, and creative practice.

Winslow Homer, (United States, 1836–1910), Taking an Observation, 1884, oil on panel, 15 1/4 x 24 inches, Bequest of Charles Shipman Payson, 1988.55.3

This talk will focus on a rare Winslow Homer painting on panel, exploring the delicate conservation techniques required to preserve its surface and structure. Learn how panel paintings differ from canvas works and get a behind-the-scenes look at the challenges of sustainably caring for Homer’s legacy.
