He spent the rest of his life trying to find the lost secrets of their techniques and formulas, especially that of Peter Paul Rubens.The second generation to enter this legacy was Jacques Maroger (1884-1962) who came to study with Anquetin. After years with Anquetin, Maroger decided to go into restoration in order to become closer to the old masters' work, especially work that had not been cleaned or repainted. He became the technical director of the Lab of the Louvre Museum in Paris and pres. of the Restorers of France.Maroger arrived in America just before World War II and was asked to set up a European-style atelier at the Maryland Institute of Art in Baltimore, to teach his old masters technique.
