In 1987, a world-renowned group of art historians, conservators and scientists studied one of our works of art titled "Death of the Virgin", painted by Flemish artist Petrus Christus in the mid-15th century.
These researchers utilized a technique called infrared reflectography. This is a method that uses short wave infrared cameras, which are able to penetrate most colors to reveal the underdrawing of a painting.
Infrared reflectography is a great tool for studying paintings of this time period. While some 4,000 paintings have survived from this era, only about 500 to 600 drawings are still around today. And there are less than five drawings in existence believed to be by Petrus Christus.

Today we celebrate World Snake Day with a tribute to the Timken's own snake in Benjamin West's "Fidelia and Speranza" (1776).
In this painting, we see two sisters. The elder sister, Fidelia, whose name means 'Faith', carries the New Testament and fearlessly holds the gold chalice of Saint John the Apostle. A poisonous, green snake emerges from it, representing the unsuccessful attempt to poison the saint. This imagery is often seen in art, as it is a reference to the legend from the Acts of John, in which he was asked to test his faith by drinking a cup of poison.
