About the work

Portrait of a Saint, 2nd half of the 18th century, anonymous Baroque master, collection of the Knights of the Cross with the Red Star

Miloš Englberth graduates from the Restoration of Painted Artworks and Polychrome Statues studio in the Lifelong Learning program at the Academy of Fine Arts. He previously studied at the local studio of classical painting techniques, headed by Professor Zdeněk Beran. In his current restoration practice, he employs advanced digital technologies and research and analytical methods offered by the Academy’s modern and well-equipped restoration studio. Mastering painting and drawing techniques at the level of old masters is a matter of course there, as is producing technological copies of their works. During his studies, Englberth became familiar with various arts and crafts technologies and received education in all professional areas that are necessary for restoration work. In his theoretical diploma thesis, he focuses on the issue of retouching the surfaces of works of art covered with sheet metals, especially in the area of panel painting and polychrome wooden sculptures. In addition, in the last year he restored two panel paintings dating to the first half of the 19th century and an oil painting on canvas from the latter half of the 18th century.
