The restoration of "The Adoration of the Angels": A treasure reborn in the Sacromonte Abbey

A journey through time and faith

In the heart of Granada, the Abadía del Sacromonte stands majestically, a monumental complex that holds within its walls an unparalleled historical and artistic legacy. Among its most precious treasures is the painting The Adoration of the Angels, a 17th century masterpiece that has recently been restored to its original splendour.

A meticulous process

The restoration of The Adoration of the Angels has been a painstaking process that has lasted more than a year. A team of restoration experts worked carefully to remove the dirt and varnish that had accumulated over the centuries, restoring the work to its vibrant colours and richness of detail.

A new radiance

The result of the restoration is a work of art that shines with its own light. The angels, who seem to be dancing around the Child Jesus, are now shown in all their beauty and expressiveness. The harmonious composition and the vivid colour palette create a heavenly atmosphere that invites contemplation.
