| Notre-Dame de Paris Restoration – The Virgin and Child painting Recreated after the Notre-Dame fire, the painted canvas of the Virgin and Child—originally designed in the 19th century by architect Viollet-le-Duc—has been restored to its original place in the cathedral’s oculus. To preserve this exceptional work, a specially crafted circular self-tensioning wooden stretcher, 193 cm in diameter and 41 mm thick, was developed to ensure the canvas remains perfectly taut over time, even in its challenging location more than 30 metres high, exposed between the cathedral’s interior atmosphere and the air beneath the roof. | |
