Gross!

Hey! Just found an article about the conservation of Thomas Eakins' painting The Gross Clinic – which I wrote about in this post - in advance of an exhibition of the painting at the Philadelphia Museum of Art this July. This is exciting news for me, because it means I'll finally get to see the painting in person – WHOO!! Here's the link to the article; here's a pic of the painting itself, in all its gruesome glory:
