Depuis 2005, les Historic Royal Palaces ont entrepris un important travail de recherche et de restauration sur les onze médaillons en terre cuite attribués au sculpteur florentin Giovanni da Maiano qui sont conservés aujourd’hui à Hampton Court. Ce projet associait l’examen visuel et l’analyse des matériaux aux recherches historiques et documentaires. On savait depuis longtemps que Giovanni da Maiano avait livré huit médaillons à Hampton Court en 1521, mais on a pu, pour la première fois, faire apparaître les différences entre les éléments qui sont de la main de l’artiste et les interventions ultérieures. Les recherches ont démontré que les œuvres de Giovanni da Maiano parvenues jusqu’à nous proviennent d’au moins deux ensembles de médaillons conçus séparément. Dix des onze médaillons de Hampton Court sont installés en façade et il a été décidé de les traiter sur place. Un suivi de l’évolution sur cinq ans a permis d’évaluer leur état physique, de diagnostiquer les dégradations et d’identifier les mécanismes en cause. Une campagne de nettoyage, conservation préventive et restauration partielle est en cours. Elle devrait s’achever en 2013.
