Madonna with Veil Painting

The Madonna in Olomouc is putting aside her veil after five hundred years Around five hundred years ago, Sebastiano del Piombo painted the Veiled Madonna. About one hundred and fifty years later, the oil painting reached Olomouc, where it looks down from the wall of the picture gallery in the Archdiocesan Museum. However, it will remain closed for another year, not because of the pandemic, but because of reconstruction. The museum recalls the rare painting, at least online. Among other things, in an animated clip that shows how Piombo painted his work. It will also be projected on the Cathedral of St. Wenceslas.
