In the first series of The Restorer, we follow twin sisters Ellen and Jill, who are working together to conserve Jacques Jordaens’ painting Cupid and Psyche.
How did they get started as conservators? Do they fall out sometimes or have things ever gone wrong? Do conservators learn anything new about the artist? In the first episode of ‘The Restorer’, we get to know sisters Ellen and Jill Keppens a little better.
