The Virgin and Child with a Goldfinch" (107,2x77,2 cm) is a tempera painting on a wooden panel, and constitutes part of the private collection of the Popiel family. Serious damage to the painting and its exceptional historical value decided about its conservation (as part of a diploma work, 1985-1986) which consisted of deciphering the technology and technique, the disclosure of the original layers and the restitution of the aesthetic merits of a selected fragment. Through observation and laboratory and comparative research it was made possible to establish the structure of the object and the subsequently introduced changes and deformations. The conservation work included the removal of secondary layers, the stabilization and consolidation of the wooden base (panel), the replenishment of losses and a graphic attempt at reconstrucing the original appearance and shape of the painting. As a result of the executed work, I disclosed and completely protected the original layers of the object, enabling to determine the origin and authorship of the heretofore unknow painting, and made it possible to confront it with Cennini's textbook. The author of „The Virgin and Child with a Goldfinch" is with all certainty Francesco d'Antonio Zacchi, know as Balletta, a painter from Viterbo, and it was executed during the early stage of his career, in about 1430-1440.
