Pilkington OptiView™ Protect OW shields Titian’s “Annunciazione di San Rocco”

A 1539 masterpiece by Titian entitled “Annunciazione di San Rocco” was the inspiration for a more modern-day interpretation by German artist Gerhard Richter. Works from the two artists are currently on display in Italy, and thanks to Pilkington OptiView™ Protect OW, the original Titian masterpiece is being exhibited in complete all-round clarity and safety.

With its very low light reflection – less than two per cent – Pilkington OptiView™ Protect OW creates a clearer view of the object on display as well as enhancing its key features.

The ability of the glass to shield more than 99 per cent of UVA and UVB ultraviolet rays, which over time would cause deterioration in colours in paintings and works of art, means protection throughout prolonged public exposure.

Ever-popular in many museums around the world for these valuable features, Pilkington OptiView™ Protect OW is often also the product of choice for automotive showrooms as well as commercial showcases.
