View this post on Instagram This is such a fascinating story. During the buildout for a new @oscardelarenta store in Paris, a painting from the 1600’s was found behind a wall. The great news is that they are restoring and keeping it in place. Beats slat wall ....! #oscardelarenta #paris #retail #retailexperience #Repost @nytimes with @get_repost. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/21/fashion/the-treasure-behind-the-wall.html ・・・ “No, it’s not possible,” said Alex Bolen, the chief executive of the new Oscar de la Renta boutique in #Paris. Last summer, in the middle of shop renovations, Alex got a call from his architect who said she had found something hidden behind a wall, and it wasn’t asbestos. It was a 10-by-20-foot oil #painting created in 1674 of an elaborately coifed and dressed 17th-century marquis and assorted courtiers entering the city of #Jerusalem. “It’s very rare and exceptional, for many reasons,” said Benoît Janson, a restoration specialist who’s overseeing work on the canvas. Namely, “its historical and aesthetic quality and size.” When in-person experience is what differentiates retail from e-tail, a cultural treasure may be the ultimate accessory for Alex and his shop. @julien_mignot shot this photo of Benoît restoring the painting.
