In the June 9, 2025 issue of The Wall Street Journal, Karen Wilkin wrote “Tintoretto’s Masterpiece Resurrected” about the unveiling of the newly cleaned Tintoretto “Crucifixion” in Venice’s Scuola Grande de San Rocco. The conservation work was preceded by a technical study which uncovered new information about Tintoretto’s working method including his use of a charcoal grid to lay out the composition. The work was funded by Save Venice, a U.S. nonprofit organization which has funded the conservation of more than 2,000 works of art and architecture in Venice since 1971. With actual and threatened government cutbacks to funding for conservation in the U.S., perhaps what we need now is a Save USA .
