- Discover the scientific process art conservators use to restore centuries-old paintings and fix the damage of past restorations.
--
Prior to the mid-20th century, art restorers took a heavy-handed approach, often drastically altering paintings in the name of “improving” art. Today, they focus on keeping the original work intact with minimal intervention, and must regularly contend with past modifications. So, how is damaged artwork repaired? Noah Charney explains the painstaking process of restoring priceless artifacts.

I never thought how difficult the job of a conservator or restorer is
haha you should check on youtube on some art almost destroy by attemp to restore or conservate them =]
"Baumgartner Restoration" is an art conservator's youtube channel, I think you should check it out! His work is fascinating and really impressive
@@zairazaira_ send link pls that name is too long to write
@@keezaofficial ruclips.net/user/BaumgartnerRestoration
@@keezaofficial ruclips.net/user/BaumgartnerRestoration
I’m glad they were able to restore them to their former glory.
well..
No, you leave them be. Man is always trying to Interfere with something.
Nobody cares whether you were glad or not.
@@rohitkhanna well he is glad. And that's all that matters. I'm pretty sure he doesn't care that no one cares.
@@faithebie4927 that's hearsay 😄
So, art conservation is basically the lovechild of meticulous scientific inquiry and extraordinary painting skills!
and craftsmanship! It includes work on the canvas, the frame, art pieces on other mediums (like wooden panels), etc. etc.
Like other people, viewers of this video who enjoyed it would 100% enjoy watching videos from Baumgartner Restorations, the guy shows how to fix all sorts of stuff, makes sure completly that the painting is preserved as close to original as possible while still making it look presentable, uses almost everything completly reserable just in case, he's amazing
And is voice-over is SOOO calming
Right! I've learned alot about restoring because of him!
Time to explore another channel! Thanks for the recommendation!
Washi kozo!
This video’s meticulous animation matched the intricacy of art restoration so well :’) thank you for another amazing and insightful lesson, Ted-Ed!
For those that like this type story telling of paintings, I'd recommend the channel, Baumgartner Restorations. He is a conservator that explains the process of it all. And his most recent videos has an apprentice, which does help the viewer with more insight. It's pretty awesome!
I was just about to recommend his channel! Check out Baumgartner videos for a more in-depth look into the process of art restoration. Also, it's just relaxing to watch paintings get cleaned XD
Yaaaassss!!! Where my Belgian Linen fans at?
@@gcd2036 Sir, it's clearly all about that washi kozo!
YES
Amazing channel, i'm so glad he's more popular than i thought
It's fun to see his apprentice, good to know the trade is being passed on
Thanks for the tip; love the channel. There is a fantastic channel of old products restoration called "My Mechanics", it is really transfixing inasmuch as this person not only brings back a destroyed object, but makes it better than when it was new without distorting its essence.
On one hand I feel very seen, because I’m studying art conservation and will officially become a restoration technician in a few months.
On the other hand it breaks my heart knowing only a selected few art pieces in this world get the attention and funding they deserve for their conservation. Like me and all my classmates now are worried we won’t be paid enough to provide for ourselves once we’re out working, and… we’re from Italy, we’ve worked in Venice, shouldn’t it be a place where art conservation is prioritized? 😭😭
what a society we live in
I heard your city is sinking. Maybe that's a bigger priority.
@@nabara6949 they were just talking about art, no need to invalidate them and bring a while different topic into this
@@qingxinn_ I mean... both art conservation and city planning need funds in order to be executed. We don't have infinite money to pay everyone's need.
@@nabara6949 but huge funds should be used here as well. it wil not deplete out of nowhere. art conversation is an industry as well. it can 'create' money as well.
I do not understand how anybody would even entertain the thought of trimming a Rembrandt
It was painted in 1642 and trimmed in 1715. At 60 years old it was probably in that period where paintings are too old to be exciting but not old enough to be classics. Or someone was just arrogant enough it had to be hung on their wall, whatever the cost of history.
Or attacking it with acid, what happened there?
Excuse my digression, but why does the button say "2 replies" when I only see one if I click it?
@@usmh can't tell but they're definitely 2 responses before yours
@@xtxpxhx I see two comments, one reply, before mine.
Restorers of the past were amazingly clumsy. Not only in painting, but in architecture as well. The Parthenon, for instance, suffered catastrophic restoration undertakes in the 18th and 19th centuries that caused more damage to the structure of the temple than if absolutely nothing had been done until proper restaurers of the 20th century began their work.
The way my jaw dropped when they said that they had used AI and taught it to paint in the artists style. Thats absolutely incredible, amazing vid
I never thought this much thought, effort, and science goes behind conserving art!
Good job on the security guard for immediately neutralizing the acid! Makes me wonder if all guards are told what to do in the event of an attack like that!
The person who "attacked" the painting should be thrown in prison.
i love ted-ed so much. i can't recall a single time i was disappointed with a video of theirs. Perfect. Every. Time.
Baumgartner Restoration is an excellent channel if you like this kind of content!! The videos are very educational, and the voiceover is so calming!
The amount of over varnish is astounding and very satisfying when Julian reveals the real colors underneath.
Oh yeahhhh, amazing channel!
@@akirebara Oh my god, yes!!! And I love how he goes slowly, which builds anticipation!! (That's not the reason he does it, of course, it's just an added bonus!!) And most of the time (if not every time, oh my god the colours... Especially the skin of people.... Angelic!!
@@olgan2972 Whenever he uncovers the face and it actually has pinks and reds instead of yellow poop brown... *chef's kiss*
I love Julian’s videos they’re so interesting and relaxing
A very educational video as always Ted-Ed.
Fantastic topic, here's an idea for the next video: The destructive restoration done to the sistine chapel during the 80's and 90's. Most likely, that carnage fueled the change on the field of restoration, which now is more focused on preservation and (actual) restoration that doing a "facelift".
I can still remember my weeping professor talking about it like someone stole their kids.
Yesssss! Art conservation is a job whose works are so underratted tbh. I'm glad big platforms like TED-ed are bringing them closer to public.
Whoever decided to cut up rembrandts paiting should be ashamed
Also, why on earth did they cut so much off the bottom? Cutting out the ceiling would have looked far better than cutting off part of the men's boots and leaving the painting with such a bottom-heavy appearance.
that's interesting about the AI created pieces. I had learned that the missing pieces of the Rembrandt could be made because of an old, smaller, copy of fhe whole picture. That is how a recreation team in 2021 found out how to complete the full picture. AI guesses thus seem a bit unnecessary when literally a copy exists.
My guess is that the smaller picture just didn't have the fidelity or resolution to be used as is for restoration.
The AI was trained as a Rembrandt Upscaler where it learns the nuances of Rembrandt paintings and then upscales the small copy of the painting to a full size version.
I'm guessing the ai was needed to recreate the brush strokes in his style. They knew what it was supposed to look like but then you have to paint it with brush strokes.
They did mention using another artists rendering of the painting. The AI was trained with that one. AI, in fact, did adapt from the copy you speak of.
thanks for all your comments! Indeed, I had missed the (interpretation of the) phrase "using another artist's rendering of the original". I think the "AI generated best guesses to fill in the blanks" threw me off a little, based on my prior knowledge :)
AI is not Rembrandt…that’s all.
Bruh someone just cropped the painting to fit it in a hall
This was mind-blowing...I didn't knew AI can assume the missing pieces, and thanks to the other artist too.🌻
i have always loved TED-Ed. You guys rock!!
recalled watching the video by carnegie museum of art about the restoration of the first painting depicting isabella, that was fantastic and very informative as well. you should check that out if you haven't done so.
Art conservators, as well as art handlers, are quite awe inspiring. You have never truly seen a person take care with an object until you have seen it done by one of these rare individuals. Patience and exactitude are the words that come to mind.
This should be a series where they discuss other paintings restorations
Videos like these are so encouraging. They show that restoration can take place in art. It makes one wonder, what other problems such as: pollution, deforestation, equitable wealth distribution and hunger can be dealt with by using Artificial Intelligence and diligent human effort?
The animation is just as wonderful as those paintings 🖼 😍.
It's good to see real art is still being appreciated. Especially with the existence of NFTs nowadays.
그림을 복구하는 데 이런 과정이 필요한지 몰랐네요. 우리가 원본이라고 알고 있었던 그림에도 뒷면에 발견되길 기다리는 무언가 가 있다는 사실이 매우 설레는 것 같아요. 좋은 영상 감사합니다!
Art + ted=masterpiece
Please do a video on the hunt of lost arts that germans stole in ww2 and still aren't recovered.
I think this was coolest video I’ve seen in a good while, amazing job as always Teded
this video is so instructive and made me want to learn and work in art restoration.
Fascinating. I recall a wonderful documentary on the restoration of Nightwatch many years ago. I’ve also done some restoration myself, though not on valuable masters. It’s slow and tedious but ultimately satisfying in a different way than creating original artwork.
This is definitely one of your most insightful videos
I KNEW IT! THE CROTCH AND TREE WERE MY GUESSES!!!!
This was so intriguing!! Did not expect this level of painstaking labor, attention to detail, intense research and sophisticated use of technology before watching 😳
Ted Ed never ceases to amuse and inform!!!
This animation style was breath taking! Loved it
4:04 "including two whole feet from the left" When you said "feet" I thought you meant the feet chopped off the bottom.
Oh so sorry he didn't say 600 cm. That would be really understandable!!
The perfect narrator voice doesn't exis....
I really love things like these,because it's just interesting to learn about
This episode should have been narrated by Julian Baumgartner (if I remember the name correctly) :D
I remember seeing Rembrandt’s night watch while in Amsterdam over 50 years ago and ever since art has become my world.
Victorian art conservationists "improving" their paintings reminds me of the old Spanish lady that painted over a picture of Jesus on her church's wall, resulting in something that looks more like a monkey than a messiah. 🙊
Hahahahahahahja same
Art Restoration is fascinating to say the least...Is anyone a fan of Baumgartner Restoration and Julian?
Yes I am!
1:10 Bronzino’s original painting is beautiful, his use of JPEG compression is so evocative!
I remember the story of the first one, so I knew that one, and the third one I knew about the varnish issue, but I never knew about the second one!
Reminds me of studying fine art in Europe . I had 1100 photos of pieces of art Imhad seen and was only 1/8 of the art studied . These portraits are remarkable and the restorers have done an excellent job - bravo ! The World beautiful art , literally a feast for the eyes. I don't know why people try to destroy it . I seen damage statues that the Vactican could or would restore , but behind bullet proof glass . It just take one person to ruin seeing this up close without barriers . Hopefully I can go back to Europe, when this pandemic is under control to revisited the beautiful master works!
Lmao, that last one is hilarious. Madlads just cut up the painting, and even madder lads made an AI redo it ahah
Marriott Hotels, thank you.
TED-Ed, thank you.
May you and yours stay well and prosper.
The fact that someone would deface the original to "make it better" or to "cover things up" is frankly insulting... destroying the original masterpiece is... just horrific.
The mutilation of the Rembrandt's was a outrageous. Someone from that museum should've gone to prison for that crime.
Rembrandt's "The Night Watch" appears as a fake in Animal Crossing too :-)
The Rembrandt is a great example of the digital humanities at work!
wonderful thanks Ted Ed you done for Marriott.
Thank you, Marriott 🙏😘
Remarkable and fascinating , thank you for posting !
Art conservation is one of the most amazing things ever
Wow, the technology is astounding!
My cousin's wedding was held in a Marriott Hotel wedding hall. It was fantastic! Very sweet memories, I have of that wedding.
Wow! I’m shocked! Thank you for this video❤
Fun fact: in the 2nd painting w/ Venus and Cupid, look at the foot at the bottom left corner… it’s the Monty Python foot! 😆
Oh my god, you're right! 😂
inlove w ted-ed’s animations

@George Miller
Thanks you for this, I'll definitely reach out to him. thanks again.
Yes, Richard Wayne is the best. He is the only one I can leave my investment with and think less about it, he is my money maker. I just received $13,000 of my investment last month. I am very happy because he is leading me to financial freedom.
I make $ 23,450 weekly trading profit with him, I only trust Mr Richard Wayne with my investments. am now able to send my kids to great schools in LA, all thanks to Mr Richard Wayne.
His method surprises me. A Friend that I referred to him,just received €50,150 profit after 10days of investing...I became jealous...Lol
I'm always surprised by how often art and science intermingle
Was very moved by the history and effor for conservation.
Not sure I like the solution for the last one.
Thank-you Baumgartner for opening my eyes to the Art of Conservation.
🙌🏻 we are not worthy of Julian
"Can you guess what's wrong with these paintings?"
*looks at the painting in the thumbnail*
Me: Yeaaaaaaaaah
Fantastic stuff - very cool part of art history I didn’t know
Fun fact: Cupid's foot in the _Venus_ painting is the source of the Monty Python foot
Wow, I've never seen mariott hotels as a sponsor for any YT video.
“These paintings have been drastically modified due to restoration”
Baumgartner intensifies
Props to the conservator doing one of the most difficult job ever.
This is basically what we watch at baumgartner restoration
man these guyz are superheroes
I have a colleague who specializes the conservation and restoration of old audio recordings. They use something similar to an electron microscope to digitize them and use ai to assist in fixing damaged sections
Wow it sounds amazing!
I think, we shouldn't lose the story of a change in the paintings. Must restore to original idea, but not forget historical facts. The restore paintings is interesting. Thanks, TED-Ed.
That venus painting is so creepy
Can't get over the animation of the portraits. It's genius ❤️
i was like: really? are you telling me they cut a painting just so that they fit it on a wall?
Nice video.
Fascinating
Sometimes I am proud to be a human. Seeing what we can do if we put our minds to it! :)
New hero in town: The Art Conservator.
Wow. This is great!!
Wow this is incredibly cool!
This is so interesting!
4:37 they only did this temporarily for study purposes. Also the AI didn't paint the missing pieces by 'best guesses'. They fed the AI the missing pieces based on the smaller-scale copy they have. They AI was mostly used for the painting of those pieces to be Rembrandt style. Still a very nice story, but y'all exaggerated somewhat.
If only the TedEd videos had existed when I was in school in the '90s...
"The sea was angry that day my friends, like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli."
This tells me that “personal preferences or opinions can ruin a piece of history”
wow i totally know how to find these differences
all who watches baumgartner restoration should know a thing or two about this.
Wow the AI restoration of the Rembrandt painting is crazy!
I have a question that what was before the big bang?
All I could think of was ACNH fans being like, "I have been trained for this"
Someone call Baumgartner Restoration!
Dang I’m surprised you were able to get that thumbnail on RUclips
