Revealed: a lost Ontario art treasure


VINCE TALOTTA / TORONTO STAR ) Order this photoHidden from view for more than a century, a lost Ontario art treasure is finally being revealed. ( VINCE TALOTTA )The hard work has paid off: Hahn’s 104 life-like 23-point maple leaves and ornate borders lend the legislative chamber a startlingly fresh look. He was an influential teacher at the Ontario College of Art, the Royal Ontario Museum, and Central Technical School, and daughter Sylvia Hahn’s murals can still be seen at the ROM. A 1994 restoration effort retrieved sections of painted friezes in the chamber that depict figures representing justice, wisdom, power and art. ( VINCE TALOTTA )
