The article focuses on the restorer of Italian pictures of the Renaissance period, Professor Luigi Cavenaghi. Born in 1844, he first applied himself seriously to mastering the principles of the restorer's art under Giuseppe Molteni, who was at one time director of the Brera Gallery, of Milan, and well known for his ability in rehandling and cleaning old panels and canvases. It is, however, as the restorer of Leonardo da Vinci's large fresco of "The Last Supper," in the refectory of Santa Maria delle Grazie, in Milan, that Professor Cavenaghi is best known.
