It's like watching a trainwreck. I am going to rewatch Baumgartner videos for the next hour to get the taste out of my mouth!
I was going to same the same thing
This is so true, it hurts
Omg. I dont know how many times i gasped with this. Baumgartner restoration is the best if you want to see restoration done gently and properly. Wax and resin on such a delicate piece? And no gentle handling.
I was thinking the exact same thing...
I'm glad I'm not the only one. I. had to jump to the end, I just couldn't watch it- a total train wreck.
Totally in agreement, and I'm only 6 minutes in. I am shouting at my laptop in horror. Was that Superglue he was using on the tears? Julian has shown us that all his work is reversible, if ever it has to be redone. I know I shouldn't continue with this but it's like a really bad horror movie that must be watched until the end. EDIT. Well it didn't get any better. From using White Spirit to clean away the excess wax and gummed up tape residue, to scrubbing the surface like he was cleaning a shirt collar. Admittedly it was restored to an acceptable degree but it was still grimy in places and the final retouching was heavy handed.
Would not speak about 'restoration', better do nothing than total destruction.
Same... had to turn it off...
He's so heavy handed with the painting and with his brushwork
I expected a paint scraper to appear at any moment
Lost me at the super glue.
SAME. I was like “wait… is that like a special REVERSIBLE glue??”
SUPERGLUE ugh
Plus1. Literally stopped watching at that point
That and what looked like scotch tape on the front
Even if I had never seen Julian work before... this was so heavy handed!! Just scrubbing away and using sandpaper?! The way he put it on the frame?! 😰
Def not Baumgartner approved 😆😆😆😆
I have asked so many times on Baumgartners video comment sections for him to do a reaction video to all these new restoration videos. Man, how awesome would that be.
Anyone else watch this and think,"what would Julian do?" I get that there are many restoration techniques taught and that time,money,and schooling can influence how a piece might be restored but holy crap,could the restoration technician be a fair bit more heavy handed during cleanup? New curse word combinations fell fast and furiously as this video played and I uttered a quiet apology to the artist whose work was being "retouched". I'm gonna go binge some of Julian's videos now to appreciate his gentler approach to restoration.
P. S. Yes I sound like a snobby CZcams commenter who has absolutely no formal art education/training to judge this "retouching" but I'd be just as irked at the heavy handed techniques if I did have professional art training.
Julian use wazi gozo paper to protect the front of the painting then after heat and pressure he could safely remove the old canvas.
No, you're completely correct
Unbelievable!
No washi kozo!
I would love to see Julian work on this painting.
Loved it. Excellent work, and a very pleasing finish. It was never a masterpiece, or even a good painting, but it’s old, and pleasing in its aged look. Some seem to think that watching some restoration videos makes them experts. This restoration was perfect for what this painting is. It’s an old no name painting, which now is a good looking no name painting, but it was never an actually good painting.
CYANOACRYLATE GLUE! 😮
Isso se tornou o meu filme de terror...
To muito assustada com essa "restauração"
😨😢
I agree!!
right he repainted the upper right side like he was the Painter of it this will have to be redone by some one that has more skill. thanks fully he used reversable paint.
and now .. send it to Julian for proper restoration.
That’s harsh! But I agree. I couldn’t afford Baumgartner for my painting so I’m hoping for the best.
He is only asking $2000 for the piece after restoration. Colorado Art Restoration would charge more for the repairs than that so I know Julian costs even more.
Rude.
@@annekabrimhall1059He's not selling it. The people who have created the video are.
Who’s Julian? Does he have a channel?
OMG, I would not have this guy work on a my calendar that hangs on my wall much less an oil painting!
OMG! How many times do you think Julian would have dropped his scalpel. Talk about overfill!
Very interesting! Concerning the hunting scene, it seems more Dutch than Italian, also the context of all the details, type of the hounds. If it's from the 18th century, then very early, close to the later 17th.
So will this restorer despise Baumgartner or watch his videos and learn??
More explanation for some of the procedures would be welcome. Hot wax in the liner adhesive? Why do this? It does not seem like a good idea. Why put on a stretcher cover (with staples which rust) when the painting is already newly lined. Why then stain it and the stretcher? Why scrape the edge of the painting after stretching?
Baumgartner Restoration. HE Explains everything He's doin.. And WHY. The way He words it... sounds almost like poetry as He explains everything... soothing calming voice!
My eyes cried when I saw the scotch tape
@@garyallen8824 YES He does. Its like listening to soothing poetry.. or a bedtime story.
I believe this gentleman is using older techniques for restoring paintings. I was surprised by the wax technique also. I believe Julian mentions this technique on one of his restorations when removing old hide glue. I also believe it wasn't scotch tape he was using but special conservation tape. All in all, while different from Baumgarten Restoration this painting does look much better.
@@pistolannie6500 Don't know this Baumgartner. But after your description of how he speaks it sounds like he wishes to be a Bob Ross of restoration.
Seems like techniques he learned more than 50 years ago and never updated or learned anything new. I'm with several other commenters in that I like to watch Baumgartner restorations and even though he likes to say there are other methods I don't believe he would approve of this.
STAPLES!
I like watching restoration works from this channel, but this is kind of difficult to watch. His techniques seemed heavy-handed and feels rushed. Like he's in a hurry to finish this delicate fragile art piece. This art was already neglected and cracking quite literally. But I'm glad the end result still looked good. I do hope this painting lasts the test of time.
Oh God- a staple gun!
I love this painting restoration series so much! My favorite one is the one that involves using agar gel. Hope theres a longer version of it!
Getting a notification that you upload is like a treat for me so please never stop uploading! Hope to see more restoration videos from you! 🙌🏼
When I saw the rectangular strip of canvas taped to the hole, I thought, "I can't watch this!" Cringe! Baumgartner has ruined me.
We are Baumjackals! 😅 Julian might have to address it someday.
Baumgartner a drama queen. No one cares about the back of the painting if it has a tiny patch or a bigger patch.
watch him too. watching this vid makes me to O.o "wtf?!"
@@rickvaiBBBIt CAN actually make a difference! Julizn is GRRREAT @ His job!!!! His apprentice at this time.. is VERY fortunate to be learning from him!!
@@LadySytheSAME HERE!! 😮
I need to watch at least 3 Baumgartner Videos after That.. feels violent. Yes everyone tries their best, but Baumgartner is on another level
Tape???!! NOOOOO
Geeze loueeeeze. What a ham-handed restoration. This guy should be painting the outside of a barn, not restoring a "masterpiece".
Some jobs are so meaningful !
I love that all these comments are about Julien/Baumgartner. However, to be fair, Julien is the best of the Best
Not really, there are lots of people around the world who can do what he does
Like who? Atleast ppl that post it? He’s the best because he’s delicate, knowledgeable & all his paintings look amazing after
@@ROGRAHAMMM he's dime a dozen. he just has a youtube channel.
All steps in this restoration are wrong.
Captivating...
Sry, looks like a terror movie to me. Julien spoiled us. 😢
My only Question is whether the conservator used oil paints or conservation grade paints for the restoration. Coz judging from the video, it looks like he has used oil paints which according to modern conservation guidelines should not be used as they are not reversible.
He stated he used restoration paints.
@@kjwhitty8820 Ohh. Okay. I may have missed that part. Thanks.🙏🏻
I'm sure with you I would definitely bring in my paintings that are unprofessionally done
Guess keeping the flag during retouching wasn't important. Also, how did the faces end up looking worse after?
what flag? if you're referring to what on the left that was a hole
@@tonywoods4270 ok
i really don’t want to hate this but i might just be traumatized by julien’s perfect work 😩
Looks good
Very heavy handed and roughly done. thankfully the end result was fine but could have been much better, tool selection was brutal. I'm sure the restorer has done this successfully hundreds of times, but man oh man it was hard to watch. The use of tape and scalpels. whew! he got there in the end i think
Was half of the "peasant" woman hidden when framed? 😮
“Professionally Restored”, does not necessarily mean “well restored”! A pallet knife should be used to apply the filler, never an Exacto knife. Sand paper should never be used on the paint layer. Care must be taken not to abrade the edge of the paint layer with the hammer or scrap it with a construction utility knife. The retouching was heavy handed. The priests banner was completely erased. Oils should never be used to retouch, even if there is a barrier layer applied.
This is very fascinating to watch being restored right after it was found amazing. I wish there was more videos like this to come
Go to BAUMGARTNER RESTORATION! You'll love watchin Julian!
Watch baumgartner restoration then come back to this video 😩
If I had a painting that needed to be restored from the 14th century it’s not badly damage. What was the cost be to repair and make sure it stable
I agree what a hatchet job, my heart was in my throat. send it to Julian Baumgartner, who trained this man and in what century.
why you did not use Bridging at the small ones?
“After this guy restored the painting, we had someone do a more thorough job than him in photoshop”
Haha
Wait. You had to photoshop out imperfections that the conservator was too lazy or not skilled enough to do in the first place? And then you’re selling a prints of the photoshopped version and passing them off as complete restorations? This is blasphemy.
thanks for the 25 minutes of anguish 😩 Julian would never...
Umm scotch tape.
The mixture of wax and resin at 6:10 is quite colourful! And it is encouraged through cvccum and heat to seep into the paint canvas. It scared me me a lot. How can you be sure this mixture will NOT affect the painting colours?? Explain to us, please.
And SOOOOO much filling!!! Made me really anxious about retouching. How can one KNOW what the painter wanted, when so much of the original painting was obliterated??
Well, this was... a watch full of worries!
Oh my... I have so many questions.
17:53 nice restoraton style, how it named? Maybe hammer restoration?
Where did the other person disappear on the bottom left of the picture?
OH WOW As many have already commented: this was really hard to watch! But I also feel very sorry for the guy, because I think he can't do better or doesn't know how to do it better. However, the worst part was the sanding of the filler material!!! And the scraping of the edges was also painful.
I had to stop watching it was all too much
By the time it got to sandpapering the filler I was cringing at each new ‘technique’.
My family made me stop
I lost it with the super glue…
I have seen some harsh criticism about Baumgartner techniques on this channel and I could not tell if it was justified. But watching this, I didn't have a feeling I am watching Master of Craft. Some parts are pretty rough. I have no experience at all, but just simple things, like placing bottle with solvent on the top of the painting (14:24), even though with some paper underneath, does not look very professional, especially when you deal with valuable artwork. Then using scapel instead of spatula and later using what looks like sandpaper doesn't seem right. And the rough cutting of canvas with just the blade, even I could do better.
why not fix the cracks with oiling out?
Thank you for sharing your amazing skill and bringing another picture to life. It was lovely and calming just watching you. No criticism of other conservaters or anything like that. Thank you so much. Blessings to you
I can’t believe he used a paper towel to remove anything.
Did he use superglue?????
It’s an old painting but it is certainly not a “masterpiece”
Beautiful
Que la dejo la vara nuestro querido Julián
..i feel like i am watching what not to do .... sorry
OMG! Take your art and run.
Man...the amount of disrespect in the comments is unreal. All these 5-year olds on here harassing a restoration professional saying "TiS gAi BeTa!". These comments just need to be reported for harassment and bullying at this point.
If you are a follower of Baumgartner Restoration you would understand.
@@jill552 Understand what? Did Baumgartner tell you, his fans, to go and harass other restoration channels?
honestly, as a professional artist I would sue if someone used superglue and sticky tape under heat on my work.
Painting over the artist's vision is always a no-no. No wonder nobody has bought this painting from their website.
He didn't use any fill in medium to the paint loss area.
Much like Wine, I know nothing. But I do know what I like. Beautiful!!!
I wonder what this restauration costs.
£2
@@yessanknow302 Very funny. Good joke. 😏😏🤧
Yikes!
Why would you ever fill in with a scalpell with risk of damaging the painting?!
Viendo los arreglos que más adelante arreglará Julián 😂
Julian where are you?
I watch a different painting restorer and his methods seem less evasive than this one. wax and tape? idk....this feels very old fashioned. Did he just use soap made for humans to clean the painting?!
Very nice ❤
Reluctantly forced to agree with most of the other comments here. I haven’t watched Baumgarrtner, but I have seen a lot of other restoration work online and in person, and this gentleman’s approach seemed heavy-handed to say the least. Some of the material choices were… odd.
Pity.
You will enjoy it if you do watch him @emmacannon
Sand paper? Oh mercy. This was painful.
Thank you for watching!

Buy it then take it to Julian Baumgartner for conservation and repair. Good lord, what a butcher!
@@elizabethrobbins8580So rude.
6:09 carnt watch any more
He is a bit rough but the end result is good enough.
Whoever told you to fix paintings like that, is beyond me….. 🤦🏼♀️🙄
Two questions 1. How much do you get paid? 2. Do you put it in a museum?
/Master of destruction…OMG/😢
Wax and resin?!? 😮😮
I had to stop watching water this smh I just can’t
I would never allow my painting to be restored like this... my eyes hurt.
Wiping off the varnish in such big passes makes me cringe!!! 😢
Wow! Well done!
😢😥😢
I watch a lot of Baumgartner restoration, and this hurts
I am laughing at all THE ART RESTORERS COMMENTING!😂😂😂
as a professional artist I am very disconcerted by the use of sticky-tape under heat and superglue. not even furniture restoreres consider that reversable
Could almost be called heavy handling
Fantastic Artwork and Craftsmanship 🎉
No mulberry paper. No fish glue. No traceing of the area for new lining inlays, with careful cutting out. Tape just placed directly onto the paint surface! Wax. Wax. No. This is not how I was trained by Julian.
Too hard to watch
Super great video 😍😍
Super glue???😢
Lots of art restorers specialist in the comments... 🤨
Baumgartner would wince at this.
You did an absolutely marvelous job!
