| Abstract: | The article details the historical background, attribution, and restoration of an 18th-century oil-on-wood tabernacle door depicting the Sacred Heart of Jesus at the Basilica of the Nativity of Mary in Senglea. It discusses the artwork's attribution to Francesco Zahra, its iconographical features, and the conservation process undertaken by ASC Conservation Centre Ltd, which uncovered original details previously obscured by overpaint. |
