Revealing The Artist: Restoring the Bay of Naples Mural at Clifton Mansion

Revealing The Artist: Restoring the Bay of Naples Mural at Clifton Mansion

When Baltimore nonprofit Civic Works relocated 25 years ago to Clifton Mansion, the former summer home of Johns Hopkins, the new tenants found evidence of a large wall mural in what was once the Italianate mansion’s grand entry hall. In April 2017, work began to restore the space, including the 160-year-old mural. Now, almost 18 months later, conservators Thomas Moore, Gillian Quinn, and Laurie A. Timm, will discuss what it took to uncover the 15-by-25-foot painting of the Bay of Naples, and what surprises the mural yielded as they peeled back layer upon layer of the past.

5 p.m. Reception at Homewood Museum
6 p.m. Lecture at Mergenthaler Hall, Room 111

Free event parking will be available in the Johns Hopkins Club parking lot. Advance, pre-paid registration is strongly requested. Walk-in registration is based on seating availability. 1 AIA/CES LU available per lecture.

This is the final talk in the 2018 Architecture Lecture Series: Lost and Found, presented as part of Baltimore Architecture Month.
