John Michael Wright – Conservation and Context

Join us for a memorable evening at Hatfield House as we welcome back John Michael Wright’s 17th-century portrait of James Cecil, 4th Earl of Salisbury, and his sister Catherine as young children, following recent conservation work.

The event will feature a panel of experts who will explore the painting’s restoration within the broader context of Wright’s oeuvre and 17th-century British material culture. This is a rare opportunity to view an important example of Wright’s work, which is not normally on public display.
