It is not uncommon to look at a painting and right from the outset know that the scope of work will be broad and demanding. The hope is that despite all of the problems and challenges, the piece will respond well to the treatments and reveal itself as worthy of care and attention. Nevertheless, that first glance often yields a resounding "Oh, Brother"

Honestly, the more Julian mentions his paints being fully reversible, the more I want him to yassify a painting
This comment kills me
What’s yassify?
@@kelseymaev “Yassify” is editing something or someone almost beyond recognition by airbrushing the skin, adding makeup etc in an editing program. But it can also be done on a painting, by glazing in the skin and just overpainting in general, as was done with this painting.
That still leaves me confused. Sorry. 😢
Please, don't.
Watching the damage disappear step by step seems almost magical
Thats because hes a wizard and this is actual magic.

His patience astounds me. Like seriously im in awe
I wonder if I would be similarly patient if I knew the price of his work :'D
@@nilsp9426 VERY expensive. And for good reason
This is a huge reason I love watching his videos. They inspire me to slow down and check my own patience. It's a good reminder in our fast-paced world that not everything has to be so rushed and hurried. If you're reading this, Julian, thank you.
Eye am too
In my humble opinon, Julian never seemed so tense in a video as he does in this one. I believe seing it it in the way he handles the stretcher, the way he throws the clamps on the table. I also find the video is a bit sloppy in places. But maybe I'm totally wrong. Maybe it's just a busy week, with plenty of deadlines to meet, tons of stuff to be done, and still the sequel of Oh,Brother Part 1 is waiting to be finished. Anyway, hey, Julian - it's always fun to watch your videos!
Kit, you are a goof. x3 That outtake was wonderful, thank you for including it!
Yeah Kit! We need more of her working/learning with you Julian!
Hear hear! Great to see Kit again.
KIT! KIT! KIT! KIT!
It’s good to see your apprentice working with you, knowing that your level of professionalism will be taught to another.
It seems that there's just as much artistry that goes into restoring a painting as creating one. These folks are artists in their own right. What a great job. This is quickly becoming my favorite channel on RUclips.
I'd argue a bit moreso, when doing it properly. It's like an emulator that needs to re-create the hardware in software being more involved and requiring more work than the hardware itself would be.
Your channel is older than me
Exactly! I especially like how he finds creative solutions to all the individual problems, uses a lot of expert judgement and feeling to find out what matches the work of the original artist, and of course the way he makes each video a masterpiece in its own right (camera work, narration, ...).
I wouldn't say so at all.
You forget just how many hours of work went into the original painting. It is many more than actually what it to the restoration.
found this page years ago and watched all the videos he had bc i was watching him basically preform magic on immensely dammaged paintings
I like all the recent styles of videos, but these straightforward voiceovers are my favorite. Even if they can be repetitive when you have watched so many, it never gets old. Thanks for the great content!
What if you did an episode where kit narrates one of her days or weeks at your studio?
It'd be interesting to see things from an apprentice's viewpoint!
Yes! Great idea
That's a great idea.. I second that !!
Up
I would love that!!
Maybe in 2 years when Kit is more interesting and has tales of her own to share.
oh i love watching the retouching. goes from “silly julian, that doesn’t match at all and is clearly visible” straight to “wait where was the damage again?”
23:00 this will end up in one of those “painting restoration fails” videos
24:00 wait what
25:00 WAIT WHAT
I want kit to narrate an entire episode/series. im excited to one day see her do an entire painting by herself in the future!
Yes! I totally agree.
Yes I would agree.
THANK YOU for using the safety guards on your table saw and wearing PPE. As the son of a shop teacher I hate seeing RUclips creators work dangerously!
Those long sleeves have to go (too easy to get caught in a blade), but other than that I agree.
@@carlotta4ththey are tight and clean. Yes, care needs to be made not to catch clothing, especially on any spinning tool, but your body should never get so close that a quarter inch droop catches. The main concern is with loose or damaged clothing as it could drag behind and catch.
Taking a metal shop course as part of my piano technician schooling, I saw that all of the profs, so clever and so careful, all had really bad scars on their left wrists. If even they could get injured, spending many hours in a metal shop seems like a very dangerous work habit.
KIT KIT KIT! Love to see her in videos! Hope her studies are going well❤
When I saw you first tackling the nose I immediately thought: Oh, brother! 😵💫
And I kept thinking: Oh, brother! 🥺
When it was finally revealed, I went: Oh, brother! 🤩
Frankly, I’m glad that you kept the original stretcher. I find the shape of it esthetically pleasing. I know that’s not a significant factor for something that won’t be seen under normal circumstances, but I liked it.
If I were a TED conference host, I would invite you to talk more philosophically about your way of working and the nature of your work. The way you work, think about your work, and present your work is somewhat unique and super instructive. Plus you are a terrific presenter, at least in your videos. Sadly I am not a TED conference host, but at least I can dream.
It's so beautiful. You can feel the intensity of faith in St. Francis and his adoration of Christ in the symbol of the crucifixion. So lovely
I just watched another youtuber find two old rolled up paintings in their 500 year old French chateau that they are renovating. It was bent, paint loss, canvas damage and no stretcher. The current owners are trying to figure out who the lady in the one and the man in the other are as it was a surprise treasure they just found, lots of ideas of who the subjects are and why it ended up in this condition. And all I could think about was, if Baumgartner got his hands on those pieces of history and went through the restoration and research of them, our communities would be so pleased and at peace at the work and comments. Chateau du Purnon if you are interested. Now that would be an idea!!!!
I'm watching by an open window and there was a breeze JUST as the paper flies off the desk at 3:53. Nice job with the environmental storytelling there, Julian
Julian do you do any of your own paintings? You are so skilled on the retouching it would be interesting to see what some of your original artwork looks like.
Excellent work and may I say I'm very happy that this painting of St. Francis of Assisi is restored to the standard that it deserves. I would certainly appreciate having this painting! May St. Francis bless you for all your efforts!
It's always nice to see Kit! I was watching the touchup and thinking, oh no, Julian! That's not working, oh wait, what? WHAT??? IT'S GONE!! I love retouching as much as the cleaning!! My favorite parts. Beautiful job!
Julian thank you for your hard work on not only the art, but these videos to. I personally have been watching for years.I have seen how your work your artistic work has brought millions of people together that would not normally interact. So thank you again for our community that you have made for us.
Your mastery of your art (yes, it's an ART) never fails to amaze me. What talent you have! And yay - Hi Kit!!!
I’d love if you started mentioning how long from start to finish you work on a painting! Not hours worked, but how long it’s in your studio from the moment you start analyzing it to the moment it’s packed up to give back to the client.
hooooly crap, that reveal of the back once the edges were tacked down... 😍 truly all that hard work cleaning up the stretcher was worth it
I could, literally, watch Julian (and listen to that amazing voice) all day.
Another fantastic restoration, Julian! I absolutely love how you improved the frame, going above and beyond for the sake of the future of the painting. Thank you for letting us into this world
My wife got invested in Kit as Julian’s apprentice and was quite happy to see her return in this duology.
i love seeing the crazy new contraptions and gadgets he uses. i remember when he made the hot table.. i was like “HES DONE IT! PATENT IT!”
I'm willing to bet that both you and Kit were a little nervous for her introduction to the channel. You built this thing solo, and introducing a new face is a pretty major change in the dynamic of these videos. Must feel pretty good to know that we all love her. :)
The stretcher and back of the painting is beautiful.
What a wonderful job of restoring dear St. Francis to life. Your clients are lucky to own this painting and doubly lucky to have you to bring it back.
I enjoy watching an artist /craftsperson apply their talent and knowledge to projects. My grandpa made and repaired string instruments and I loved sitting in his workroom watching him. You have the same perfectionism he also demanded of himself,talent I sincerely hope thrives in art/musical/craftsperson worlds. You are very talented and I enjoy your videos very much. They take me back to my childhood and bring gramps close to me once more.
The Bob Ross calmness. Love every video.
Honestly, I hate the picture (I am from Bavaria and therefore know this iconography all too well). But I love the work you've done on it. Respect for the fact that you do everything with the same care and dedication, no matter what era, no matter what motif, no matter what condition. Your videos are every time a lesson in the best professionalism.
Would you mind expanding on why you hate the picture? I'm really curious as to how you personally perceive it, since I know nothing about the iconography in the painting and how it relates to where you live
@@xArielx1989 To be precise, I don't hate the picture, but what it stands for: Catholic bigotry. A strange, of course hidden, sadomasochism. Externalization of the Christian impulse. Religious cowering (which is expected of the viewer). A musty idealization of asceticism that doesn't understand the core of renunciation at all and uses it only to subjugate people.
I'd also love to know, I'm German aswell but not from Bavaria, I have no clue what they're talking about but I'd love to know
So glad to see Kit again!! ❤
Aaah, the talking a step back, letting your eyes rest is so important in most artist's work. I do it all the time. I work in watercolor so for me it's especially important so I don't overwork my painting. It's crucial. Imo.
Hi Kit! Julian, amazing as always.
I would never presume to teach the Master anything, but a common woodworker trick when gluing a surface where it is hard to get the glue to go, as in your stretcher glue-up, is to use dental floss and work the glue into that tight space, where it might not otherwise go. Sorry for being so presumptuous.
Awesome videography, outstanding restoration.
Do you ever create your own art from scratch? Your technical understanding of the medium and ability to integrate retouching with the original art is exceptional.
I love the little coda with Kit! A fun little moment after all of that patient restoration work!
This is one of my favourite restorations. I do this on a digital level and I find it absolutely fascinating to see it done "IRL". I could never do the work I do on digital photos on a physical medium to this degree but it's neat to see all the techniques I use being physically used.
Awesome, I still think that they eye should at least have a bit more of the shadowy glimmer of the eyes "white", but truly, you're a boon to your profession, and your profession is magical.
You should lock the focus on the timelapse retouching shot. Every time your hand is in frame the focus shifts.. Just leave the focus on the painting. I love your videos. I've been watching you since before the beard.
Wow.this is a great tribute to the beloved St.Francis of Assissi.thankyou
It seems as tho you breathe new life into a work of art that has been neglected or mishandled for so long.
I admire your patience and determination. So many of these restorations I am seeing take nerves of steel to complete.
Absolutely beautiful restoration and ty for taking us along on the journey 😊
hello! always love your videos. thanks!
just a quick small note: you can do the "wood lips" easier, just do it on the stretcher without glue... wait for it to dry out.. then come back put the glue, and won't have to press hard on both wood pieces risking the famous "glue starvation" or risking to have pb with steam coming out of the wood and glue etc (sorry for my english it"s not my native tongue)
that's it. just my 2 cents (from experience) take care
cheers!
Julian is the master of the smooth segue into sponsor info...
Julian, we who watch your work through these videos can also step back and say "OH! Brother!! 😀 Really, really well done. You are a master!!
Oh my dear Lord when I saw the fill-in on St. Francis' hand, I was so afraid you were about to retouch his Stigmata! Francis was a friar, though, Julian, not a monk, as you likely know.
interested in hearing how the glue bond was after steambending. i noticed you glued it when oak was soaking wet. personally i would have clamped it without glue and let it dry fully. after drying when the oak was released from the clamps i would have added glue and reclamp. just my 2 cents, love the content!
So glad Julian went back and changed the nostril. When he first did it, I was unsure about it. I love that Julian goes back and double checks his work. Nicely done!
Me too - still not sold on the eye, though I can't exactly say why🧐: possibly am just a picky... buzzard 😳
We want more kit
If there was a Nobel Prize for restoration, you would be the winner.
Always a joy to watch Julian do his magic.
Your best painting and surface work thus far without a doubt
That OG edge made by the router must be named after me and some of the first followers of Baumgartner 😅
You put the "Master" back into "Master Piece."
I can listen to you all day. You could easily have a career as a narrator.
Something so peaceful and mesmerising watching you work. It's awesome thank you.
That squarespace transition made me laugh out loud
I was soooo excited to see you posted you’ve been the only comfort I have had while dealing with my toxic life and going through homelessness so thank you very much going through these things as a 17 year old I’m very grateful for you and your videos
So cool! This is the first time I've ever seen someone with an existing wood steaming chamber, as most of the youtube makers I watch are more likely to fashion an impromptu one halfway through the project (also my method). A little detail that highlights the methodology in the Baumgartner shop.
You masterfully mimic (kindly) the original artist’s intent in all ways. It is a pleasure to watch you work.
16:46 The back looks so appealing I could hang it as an artwork on its own accord.
Oooofff, the eye! 😬
Thanks to what you did with this, much of which the owner will never see or notice, when this next needs conserving work, the person doing it won't have to say "Oh Brother". They will have a much easier time thanks to the work you did.
Another precious piece saved and sent forth with its best chance to survive strong and intact for years to come.
!awesome job! The steam chamber and rework on the stretcher was a bonus to the usual cleaning, great results!
A lot of work ..looks so easy when you do it . Congratulation for being so talented.
FYI the monk in The painting is Saint Francis of Assisi, You can Tell by the stigmata (wounds of Christ -the nail holes from the crucifixion) on his hands. He supposedly received them miraculously.
I guess you knew this.
Julian, I'm a professional artist/designer who luvs seeing/visiting other artists/creatives' studios. While you're main title and work is as an fine arts conservator --- you're also an artist. You're conservation videos are impeccable, just like your work. Can you please do a video tour of your studio. I would kill for a studio like yours (from what you show), especially with all the natural light. I'm also from Chicago (living in TX now). I miss Midwest and East Coast architecture and kool converted industrial spaces for studios and live-work spaces. Please do a video tour of your studio with some back story. It would also help your viewers, potential clients, other creatives and conservators see how professional and well laid out your space is. Thanx!!!

Another amazing job as usual. You really are the best. When watching the TV I will comment on what they should or should not be doing and my elderly mother asks how I know and I tell her about you. She is amazed too. XX
I love the deliberate process and how it lead to such a wonderful result. I am always looking forward to the next project.
I see you use side cutters to remove nails. I often need to remove fasteners myself and also use them. However, as a tip, I find the angle head side cutters do a much better job than the straight ones.
Knipex are good, Wiha also makes an excellent version.
I love when you do wood work. Wood really is a great material.
Seriously the back of the painting, the way you've tacked it and it looks amazing the edge gives the back life
Tacking an oval painting is like tuning a drum!!!
Having watched all of your videos now I can honestly say not one part of this gets old, it’s still so enjoyable and fascinating. I cannot imagine a day when I’m not in total awe. ❤
The beauty of the finishing on the back is worthy of the artwork on the front! Always very pleasing to see your craftsmanship and care.
Kit appreciation time!!!
👍👌👏 Simply fantastic! Extremely well done again and as always (video and work). This time especially the most impressive repair and retouching of the brothers hand shows the extraordinary quality of Baumgartner restoration. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards, luck and especially health to all involved people.
Conservation is just as much of an art as it is involved the painting of the other individual. Have a good week and God bless amen.
Excellent job Jullian!! Thank you for releasing part 2 so soon. Good to see Kit too!!
It's great to see the Kipster again, even if it's only for a few seconds.
oh my ! this painting turned out STUNNINGLY!!! you never disappoint me and your work is always improving so much. i absolutely loved what you did with the support it looks as gorgeous as the face of the painting... speaking of the face !! the way you saved this face is almost magical thank you so much for sharing this with us
St. Francis deserves your hard work : )
Oh good! I have been coming back here looking for the part 2 of the series . 😊
Always good to see Kit!
Lovely work Mr. Baumgartner
I love any stretcher or frame work. Thank you!
It’s beautiful. Well done from Chicago.
You hit it out of the ballpark again. Just beautiful work.
The way you work is a work of art itself
Surprising, careful, talented and charming, the way you conquer our friendship with art, restoring the beauty of the works under your care. Congratulations!
@BaumgartnerRestoration I’m so glad you post on Mondays. When I don’t know what my week is going to hold and changes of plans get dumped in my lap, my stress level goes way up. Your mellow narration and satisfying conservation help me end the day on a much more relaxed note.
Well done. I love to watch every step of your patient work.
I absolutely LOVE watching your videos and watching you work. You are amazing.
I could watch you for hours... and I have. Also, your mentions of the sponsor are the only ones that I never skip.
I love seeing kit in the background of videos!! im looking forward to more projects done with her as well!!❤
