The HAHN Protector is a picture case that offers the best protection for precious paintings or graphics by ensuring a controlled micro climate. Hidden behind the original frame, the picture case is hardly visible and protects the work of art from damage by vandalism, UV-and IR-radiation, dirt and humidity fluctuations in transit, on loan or on permanent display. |

Use of a PROTECTOR Picture case for the painting „Madonna delle Rose“ by Tizian | |

|
To ensure the conservation and protection of the painting "Madonna delle Rose" from Tizian in the Uffizi Gallery, the gallery decided to purchase a PROTECTOR picture case. The showcase had to maintain a constant relative humidity of 52%. This value was specified in cooperation with the museum management and the restorer. During the installation of the painting in the exhibition area a prevailing relative air humidity of about 40% had to be controlled beyond the given passive air conditioning possibilities. This task was assigned to the patented active Clean Air and Relative Humidity module RK-2. In a relatively long period of nearly 2 months, the relative humidity in the showcase was raised and stabilized extremely carefully to the desired 52%. Once this air quality was achieved, the RK-2 Generator was switched off and the air connections were closed. The temperature and the relative air humidity are controlled on a daily basis. In the event of deviations caused by the humidity absorption of the painting, the Clean Air and Relative Humidity module RK-2 can easily be reintroduced and compensate the loss.The aluminium profiles of the PROTECTOR picture case were adapted accurately to the fold-measures of the painting frame. Finally, the necessary hanging systems were attached. The monitoring of the micro environment of the painting during its exposition in the gallery is possible by means of the digital HAHN-hand hygrometer, without the need to move or open the showcase. We are convinced that our commitment to the best of our knowledge has contributed to preserve this work of art, and we hope that many generations will enjoy this in deed beautiful and peace radiating painting. |
