It is undoubtedly a privilege when you have the opportunity to talk to two great names in our field: Leslie Rainier, Conservator-Restorer of mural painting and Senior Specialist at the J. Paul Getty Trust, Los Angeles (USA); and Nicolas Eastaugh (UK), author of one of the reference books on optical microscopy of pigments. The hours flew by in an open and productive dialogue, in which ideas and results from the ALMADA project were also exchanged. And you learn, you always learn a lot from those with more experience, knowledge and wisdom. And one thing is certain: they will never forget our great master Almada Negreiros and his mural paintings. Thank you! To be repeated!
