Restoration offers clearer view of Olof Gollcher s serene paintings

Online lecture on Olof Gollcher s restored paintings

An online lecture on a set of Olof Gollcher paintings which were recently restored is being held on Thursday at 5pm. The event is being organised in a collaborative effort between Palazzo Falson Historic House Museum and the History of Art Students’ Association (HoASA). During the lecture, Caroline Tonna, curator and project leader, will give an overview on Gollcher as an artist and his landscape and seascape painting in the 1920s. Art historian and University of Malta lecturer Charlene Vella will analyse Gollcher’s artistic technique, while Pierre Bugeja, head conservator at Prevarti, will explain the technical process of the restoration.

A workshop for young artists

Palazzo Falson is collaborating with artist and art educator Debbie Bonello for its upcoming ‘Young Artists Workshop’. The free virtual workshop is open for children aged  six to 10 and is being held on May 22 from 10 to 11am. Children will learn new watercolour techniques with Bonello, who will help them create their own painting. Inspiration will be drawn from seascape and landscape paintings by Olof Gollcher, an artist in his own right, whose paintings are displayed at the Palazzo Falson Historic House Museum in Mdina. Six of these paintings have recently been restored through the support of the Majjistral Action Group Foundation under the LEADER Programme 2014-2020 for the restoration of assets of artistic and cultural value.
