The Virginia Huguenot Society conducted our Spring meeting at Crozet Hall on the campus of VMI in Lexington, VA. It was a meeting to view the restored & conserved painting “Attack on the Huguenots” by William D. Washington. The restoration & framing were made possible by generous donations from our Society & its members.

The highlight of the meeting was the viewing of the "Attack on the Huguenots" painting after restoration & placement in the Preston Library. The improvement in the work is amazing, with many figures previously not visible having been hidden under years of grime & yellowed varnish now clearly seen. If you go to our
Newsletters page, you can see some earlier newsletters that describe the process and have pictures of the work before conservation.
