    • The subsequent treatment included stabilisation of the paint and the removal of a megilp varnish applied in 1830, which rendered the surface a dark brown and obscured the extensive remains of this monumental painting.
    • The removal of the thick, oxidized varnish was complicated by Turner's use of megilp, which renders the paint surface especially vulnerable to solvents.
    • It is reported for paintings that the areas in which megilp was used, suffered softness, darkening and a cloudy appearance.
