Apollo Painting Conservator
The Gallery seeks to recruit an Apollo Painting Conservator within the Conservation Department on a fixed term 3 year contract. This role will support a significant multi‑year project focused on the conservation and restoration of thirteen paintings by George Barret. These paintings are part of a series commissioned by Joseph Leeson, the Earl of Milltown, for Russborough House in the late 1740s. Characterized by their tall, narrow format, these panels and overdoors (supraporta) depict Italianate landscapes and views of Roman ruins, reflecting the enduring influence of Italy on British and Irish decorative arts. Leeson, a discerning collector and patron, entrusted this significant and prestigious commission to George Barret—an endorsement of the artist’s growing reputation at an early stage in his career. After an initial assessment of these thirteen landscapes, it is evident that the paintings require various levels of conservation treatment before they can be put on display and made accessible to the public. This requires a dedicated conservator, ensuring that each artwork is carefully assessed and restored. This post is generously funded by the Apollo Foundation.
