Duke's inlay masterpiece studio reopens
Briefly

The Studiolo of Federico III da Montefeltro has been revitalized after two years of restoration work, showcasing exquisite marquetry inlay that creates a lifelike perspective. Originally part of the Ducal Palace of Urbino, it had its significant artwork altered during renovations, with some pieces relocated to the Louvre. Collaborating with the museum, the Ducal Palace restored the ambience of the Studiolo using high-resolution images of the displaced portraits. Significant architectural discoveries, including a latrine and a lavish washbasin, have enhanced the restoration, allowing a deeper insight into the Duke's lavish lifestyle.
After two years of meticulous restoration, the Studiolo of Federico III da Montefeltro has reopened, faithfully reconstructing its 15th-century charm and enhancing our understanding of the Duke's lifestyle.
The collaboration between the Ducal Palace and the Louvre has allowed a reinterpretation of lost artworks, creating a historical coherence that brings the essence of the Studiolo back to life.
