    You can really appreciate the details the artist painted after such a wonderful restoration.
  • After watching Baumgartner Restoration, I’m really starting to see that each restorer uses very different methods. I kept thinking of the ways that it could have been done differently, like adding a strip lining on the tacking edge or cleaning in smaller chunks. It would have been interesting to hear the restorer explain his process.

    Who’d have thought that restoring art is an art of itself? Excellent video, man!
  • @aceentity7703
    I like the idea of the original artist seeing their work being so painstakingly preserved and treated with such care over 300 years later and they approve and are happy 😊
  • I don't comment on videos that much, but seriously, it makes me drool to see how rich the white and gold on his coat was after the restoration! I feel like saying "great job" is an understatement. You are a true professional!

    Seeing him retouch with oil paints instead of fully reversible restoration paint got me clutching my pearls.

    my wife is an art conservator, and alot of her knowledge has rubbed off on me, i have to say its refreshing to FINALLY see a restoration not rushing through the cleaning with a gallon of turpentine. thanks for that. it seems you really know what youre doing. :)

    I can just imagine the original artist standing behind you watching you do this and feeling so pleased that their work has not only survived, but being painstakingly restored so carefully.

    i love watching old paintings get "cleaned/fixed" up. It's like going back in time and seeing the little things on a painting that have disappeared over time.

    the artist of the painting would be proud

    My first 'woah' moment was the test clean - writing on the letter showing up. This was incredible to watch and I truly appreciate you taking the time to not only do the job, but filming it as well. That was truly fascinating.
  • Wow. The restorers deserve praise as great patience is required to do a good job. This can’t be rushed.
  • Every fan of Julian at Baumgartner Restoration looking on in horror!
  • Absolutely insane. The amount of time taken and love for the craft and the art really shows. Immense respect for this sort of profession. I'm speechless otherwise. It was literally bringing something back to life, to its original glory.

    What an incredible journey for the painting! From a dusty, ancient artifact, a man was brought to life again. It was like watching someone emerge from a time machine. How very skilled you are, and what a rewarding occupation it must be! Thanks for sharing.🙂
  • I barely see artists that could paint such magnificent piece like that, That type of art is really common centuries ago, i wish to live in an era of art
  • This video was fantastic. My grand father used to restore antiques in his spare time. This reminded so much of the amazing results.
  • @max-ss8ic
    To think that someone in the future will have to restore this painting as well is just amazing.

    Watching this makes me realize why I happily pay for a Patreon subscription to watch Baumgartner do his thing. He’s the gold standard as far as I’m concerned.
