FAA is undertaking the restoration of a unique late medieval four-panel ‘tempera on board’ altarpiece in order to ensure that this priceless work of art will be enjoyed by future generations. This unique set, found at the Augustinian Priory of St. Mark in Rabat, dates to the late Medieval period and depicts the Madonna of Graces with flanking panels dedicated to St Paul, St Augustine and St Catherine. This work of art has been described as “one of the most important art treasures in Malta” due to its rarity and fine quality.
The concert and dinner are to be held on Monday 12th December 2016 (eve of the public holiday), at 7.30pm at the Augustinian Priory at Triq Santu Wistin, Rabat.
