If you enjoy this, you will love Baumgartner Restoration’s videos.
It’s fascinating to watch all the steps and the transformations of the art work.
Agreed! Been watching Julian since 2020 and I love his videos! So relaxing and informative and you can tell he is extremely dedicated towards what he does!😊
Came here to say the same 😂 It feels weird that anyone else does art restoration than Julian 😂
makes me wonder what if caravaggios pictures are actually not as dramatically lit as they appear, ppl just smoked around them a lot
It was quite a revelation to me some decades ago to see photos of Michelangelo's work in cleaned sections of the Sistine chapel.
Always before photos of these seemed to be in brown, black, amber or very dulled colors. I had always thought they are so serious and plain colored. What a revelation.
.Carbon and wax from burning candles was the main thing that coated paintings in churches.
Fireplaces too
Carviggio also painted on very dark grounds. These dark grounds caused paintings to turn even darker. Lots of painters painted with smalt a blue color that turns brown very quickly. Lots of paintings are effected by this darkening with age effect. White grounds and lightfast pigments have helped this.
Hilarious comment 🤣🤣
So scary to work on those restorations! 😮
That is remarkable work! Congratulations on being able to maintain that level of patience! Holy cow
WOW!! I'd be terrified to do that kind of work! You did an amazing job!! Just beautiful 😍
Yeah this painting restoration was amazing. I just wish every restoration was done with such a high level of skill.
Great job. Note: A painting this old: Tobacco Smoke; wood smoke; body oils; perfumes residue; breath condensate; candle tallow/bees wax/smoke; nasal mucus (sneezing); various oil-based cleaners (ancillary environmental); heating oils...
Suggested: An inconspicuous sample extracted (from the frame) and assayed. It's a job for a person with sufficient knowledge and training. My teacher was born in the 1890s. He was in his mid-Eighties when he taught me. Trained in Europe (a Craft). Returned there over his ascendancy -- on request -- to practice his craft. Specialized in 16th Century Dutch.
Bet he had a wealth of knowledge
How satisfying to expose such beauty. I’d love that job!!!
I’m wondering about the Moana Lisa, the skin looks exactly like that…
I believe it will never happen to Mona Lisa out of fear of ruining the painting.
Moana😂
@@JusJ22 yeah
you are correct. the mona lisa is EXTREMELY dirty. however it will most likely literally never be cleaned for two main reasons.
1. da vinci painted the mona lisa with extremely experimental techniques at the time, using very light glazes to achieve delicate effects. however, this had the side effect of making the paint extremely fragile, and no modern day techniques could clean the mona lisa without removing those glazes as well.
2. the mona lisa is extremely famous AND extremely well insured, so any mistake would easily cost millions of dollars, never mind the infamy of being the conservator that fucked up the MONA LISA.
also side note: if you're wondering what it likely looked like originally, there are several copies of the mona lisa that were painted by da vinci's students that have been conserved and cleaned. it's not a perfect replica, but it's the closest we've got.
@@shadowfire04 and who r u ?
That was so exciting to see her come to life so to speak.
What kind of compounds are they using to clean these paintings?
Amazing restorations! Thank you
Thank you so much for your work. It would be a sin to loose such amazing artwork, its our history.
Real glow up
I would love to have this job.
Thank you for cleaning these portraits.
And doing an excellent job.
Imagine all that tobacco smoke inside you in your lungs 😮
Your lungs look worse if you're a heavy smoker but there is without a doubt not hundreds of years of smoke in your lungs no matter who you are
I hope someone cares for my paintings someday as this young lady did here, BRAVA 💕💕💕
Quite the glow up!
That’s really cool! ✨👍✨
Looks Like Cigarette smoke saved it from a worse fate of coal and wood smoke.
This is beautiful and educational
Yet another reason why smoking is bad - it doesn't just ruin your health, it ruins your art
Amazing work ❤❤
Thank you 🎉❤
Wow great job!
That's amazing..
Gorgeous!
What's used to clean it?❤
You can learn more about the process on the chanel Baumgartner Restoration, he goes through it step by step. That, and the videos are sooo relaxing, it's the only thing I can sleep to
Gentle use of organic soap diluted with distilled water will clean off the dirt and grime.
Thank you so very much!
Recommend Baumgarter restorations on CZcams if this is interesting
How fascinating😊
I want this job.. lol. beats working in a machine shop all day
From what I've seen, its a rewarding but incredibly tedious job. Baumgartner Restorations has a great art restoration channel that shows his process from start to finish.
@@quinnrowan5546 That sounds like my kind of work -the reward 😂 working in a machine shop is pretty tedious but it would be awesome to handle old art & restore it. I'm still down the rabbit hole right now on (jobs < careers) trying to figure out what you want to do long-term is really tough decision.
Baumgartner Restorations 🤔 I'll have to check that out
Ive always been curious about this process...
"The first thing we do is inspect in with a Blackli- DEAR LORD IN HEAVEN!"
Great videos, could you let us know what exactly you use to remove the old yellowish varnish?
That's amazing
When black people look at old paintings especially ancient ones and think and claim they were black when it's just those paintings have been under soot and dirt for hundreds-thousands of years is hilarious. 😂
... It has visible pores. Turn off your filters, people.
I could not understand the narrator when she said the name of the subject.
What did you use to clean that painting with.
Themother of Screech and Adam Ondra.
Amazing talent to clean and reveal the original painting without damaging it!
When I was a kid, I thought that paintings were intentionally that color because “that’s what skin looks like in candle lighting” or their skin was that color due to nutritional deficiencies or illnesses lol.
Wow
A lot of that is the shellac.
What did you use to clean it with?
And how does the paint does not get removed as well?
My question also
The painting was probably made with oil paints and after it cure paint layer is very stable. Artist used natural resin varnish (that's why it yellowed) so conservator uses special solvent that reacts with varnish but not with oil paint. It's kinda like alcohol markers are soluble with alcohol and waterbased markers are soluble with water
Wow❤
Bella Ramsey, is that you?
I wonder if Leonardo's "sfumato" technique, a very subtle one, would suffer if the Mona Lisa were subject to chemicals?
The right cleaning solutions wouldn't hurt it. All the paintings in museums have a regular cleaning schedule. After many years varnishes naturally turn yellow and need replacing. Conservators just remove the top coat and then replace with new varnish.
Looks like Zuckerberg
Mark Zuckerberg 😅
Holy shit, it does look like Zuckerberg 😂
@@mattsergel5704😂😂
Changing races ❤
I hate the term 'patina' being used all the time on firniture and art. Its all just smoke, fire smoke, old varnish, bug dirt, wax et.... I'd rather see the real color.
Somebody tell mr bean
Why couldn't you just show the whole cleaned picture? 👎
O q leva neste cotonetezinho?😮😊
Nice job ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
She was so brown before😅
Wow.... I always just figured all those old paintings were whitewashed or just extremely poorly painted in seneca. Holy cow, this changes everythin!!
How the paint doesnt remove?
How tf did you get that painting it’s like 122333441a123d2111b dollars
Restorers tend to get clients who give them the paintings to clean. Like museums or private collectors. I don't think they buy them. They just get paid to restore it
❤️
And hour after hour, day in and day out, year over year, idiots pack that undiluted resin into their lungs and pay outrageous prices to do it.
😮
Fonominal
Photo filter in, Real life...😂
I liked it befor
Not as good as Julian jk😂
looks very hewish
😇🙏💯
What about the people who don't smoke any kind of cigarette? Only I figure out which mural I'm going to get rid of. It's always a 50/50 thing.
Прекрасная работа, но девушка на портрете такая некрасивая, к сожалению.
Draw a new one
He ruined it and take it off the patina! Just kidding🙈
idk. this may give amatuers ... ideas. not that it hasen't happen before. ametuer 'restorers'...
hide your old paintings!!
I believe that this might be the reason why some people are trying to claim Jesus and the disciples were all black people.
just pressure wash the darn thing
Ohhh, so it wasn’t beautiful when it was darker?🤔
Idk, I guess if you think tobacco grime is beautiful 🤷♀️
I suppose that those responsible for cleaning the painting only wiped down the frame and never touched the portrait itself. Therefore, the gradual accumulation of smoke, dust, etc went unnoticed. 🤷🏽♂️
The restoration was an awesome improvement.
Isnt this just ruining the painting?
no, it’s actually removing all of the grime and dirt from it
Whitewashing paintings and whitewashing HIStory!
What?
@@User.name2 ikr
Lol what nonsense
“Hey siri,
Is it whitewashing to **checks notes** remove layers of actual literal dirt and oxidized resin from a piece of art?”
Siri: “what kind of intellectual disability do you have?”
