Michelangelo's Epifania masterpiece to return to British Museum after six-year conservation

Michelangelo’s monumental Epifania is a supreme example of his draughtsmanship and, at more than two metres high, it is also one of the largest Renaissance works on paper. Now the 1550s depiction of the Virgin Mary, Christ Child and St John the Baptist will be seen for the first time at the British Museum in a repaired and revived state after undergoing conservation so painstaking that it lasted six years.
