@@jordibear If cracks in paint and varnish are part of the piece then why tears and flaked of paint is not part of the piece? And i know, i know, i am just trolling :D
Art restoration is a very touchy subject where some people believe they should remain as is, painted with the pigment they used and with all the flaws in the original painting. Hence they believe its best to not do anything to it, and just appreciate it for what it is and not what it could be. So whether you think painting the cracks and all the flaws in is dependent upon your perspective
I was kinda put off by the cracks but that's just appreciating the aging it went through, like people, you know? Wrinkles/cracks may not be perfect but they tell a story that it withstood time.
dude the opening of this video was BBC level amazing. It was all good but the music and the beginning felt so perfect. What a cool process. What a difference it makes.
Syanne Bleu Its so satisfying while Im watching it My eyes was so open and focused loll Its so nice to just imagine how the artist painted it in that day😍😍
Yea, for real I had no idea when i started watching this I'd make it all the way to the end on pins and needles. The soundtrack and editing helped of course, they were masterful, but the whole process was quite beautiful in itself.
@@ChicagoAussie you must not know how copy right work this isnt transformative content this is u reupload his stuff and putting music over it. You brought no real value to the video or anything other than the video this video should be taken down for copyright infringement. People work hard on videos like this and the fact that u think its okay to do this......is fucked up
Wow. Watching this restoration almost brought tears to my eyes. The care and skill shown by the craftsman is inspiring. And the work itself is beautiful.
Excellent, really enjoyed following along. I imagine it takes a lot of training and practice to be able to carry out this type of restoration and it must be hugely satisfying to see the results of your work.
"I could get into paint restoration" sees you painting over cracks and messing with like hundred year old dust and dirt "well that dream was short lived"
@@technopoptart if it makes you feel any better you breathe in shit like that every single day. All the dirt, dust, skin flakes that fall off other people kick up into the air and you breathe it into your lungs with every breath you take.
I want to cry, watching this. The amount of care, attention to detail, delicacy . . . and the way he repaired and restored every bit of the piece. To be clear, I completely understand why it's a controversial subject, to restore paintings; you're attending to a canvas that is very old and that somebody else has put work into, and you don't want to ruin that. But this brings it back to a former glory, and lets us enjoy the piece far more than it was in a decaying state. It calls back to the time when the piece was new. If this happened to my work after I died, I'd be sending my gratefulness through in waves of peace. Knowing that my work was so appreciated that it was being wrought to withstand time - that's a high honor.
Holy shit, Jack. I've always been interested primarily in the subject and information in your videos, but the cinematography of this one blew me away, 10/10.
I just looked up the artist/subject of this painting; she seems to watch Julian the entire time. What a legacy he leaves by protecting and conserving these extraordinary pieces. His own channel is absolutely hypnotic, btw. Thanks for the upload.
I have such respect for the restorer. It was so calming to watch. How wonderful to have the skills necessary to restore these gorgeous paintings to their full beauty! Kudos, sir!
I could spend the whole day with this guy just watching him work. I would be very quite and I would buy him lunch. I LOVE art and the restoration of it for generations to come.
@@rkt739 technically moths don't make holes in fabric. The caterpillars do. So If you just put one moth on it nothing would happen, other than the moth dying of starvation. And that's only a specific kind of moth. Most moths don't do much to fabric.
That actually isn't a problem! The paint this guy uses isn't the paint we think of; all of the work he does is entirely reversible, so if he made a mistake he could take it off without damaging the original artwork whatsoever. Even after varnish, someone in the future could go and take all of his restorations off and start from the beginning!
Do you ever feel like the person in the painting “comes alive” when you are slowly uncovering all the years of decay and then suddenly they are vivid and original again? Weird question I know.
watched it and this is one of the best videos I've seen! really gives insight into the whole art restoration project, and you capture it beautifully through your eyes. thank you for this piece!
I already watched this video thousand of time months ago and I keep returning watching because of such talent and precision ! I would love to do that too that’s so cool and inspiring :)
What a wonderful painting !! I almost did not breathe until you finished the restoration !!! I was already turning purple !! Perfect job, and perfect soundtrack!!!
If the artists could see what people do to protect their works today, I think many would cry tears of joy.
Eszra | I actually thought about that too, and I'm sure they'd be incredibly happy!
You got me thinking about the Doctor Who episode with Van Gogh now...I didn't know the comment section have some water works, must be a new feature...
Eszra i'd think they'd be in shock that he is able to replicate their styles...
Eszra you made me cry, this is amazing, they'd be so moved
And a few might have not offed themselves....
I sometimes wonder how the people in these paintings would feel seeing their memory live on with such respect and care...
such a romantic thought :)

He is like a plastic surgeon for art.

The craquelure (those fine cracks in the paint/varnish) of an old painting is just as important as any other part of the piece.

One can hardly call him "dude" which is a street word.

Agreed. The editing is amazing.

Yes, indeed.
Yep. Too bad he's married

Kim HoiJin there is a ring on his left hand
Ruth Ames woah you noticed that!?
Can we take a moment and just appreciate how beautifully this was filmed and edited? Truely a masterpiece in its own righgt.
I was so nervous the whole time watching!!
same. Im biting my lips while watching this
He's a professional.
Swedi Candy for me it was completely the opposite.. I felt relaxed.
My "wow" moment was when you were painting the cracks to match.
I would love to learn how to do this. The satisfaction of restoring a painting to its original beauty....
Chicago Aussie how do they do it ?
Syanne Bleu Its so satisfying while Im watching it My eyes was so open and focused loll Its so nice to just imagine how the artist painted it in that day😍😍
XoXoKrystal Age He returns them to how the painter meant for the art to look like. Aging is a form of damage to a painting.

Very cool and also this dude can git it
I’m more fascinated about him than the restoration itself
"I could get into paint restoration" sees you painting over cracks and messing with like hundred year old dust and dirt "well that dream was short lived"
pretty much. i get icked out cleaning under the bed a few times a year, i could not manage a century of skin, oil, hair, mould and spider gunk
it's probably mostly dust & spider gunk, depending on the location it was stored.

Exquisite. Sheer perfection. The care, the attention to detail, the precision....

The music made it perfect. Awesome video!
Chicago Aussie I love the music... what is it... it is beautiful
It’s in the description.
The music is great. I was absolutely convinced it was James Newton Howard or Thomas Newman when I fiirst heard it.
Yes. I'm often amazed at how video editors can ruin a video with the wrong music, but this one is perfect.
The fact that he fixes it in the context of cracks, painting cracks so it looks coherent, is a real indicator of how talented he is
He's removing her bronzer! I bet she's pissed!
What a master artisan, he deserves every penny for that job and any future restoration!
he really seems to love his job. The amount of care and love he handles the picture with is heartwarming.
Dang! He has to paint all the age cracks in by hand! Holy crap! Who knew it's work of art to restore a work of art! Wow, this is mesmerizing!
Holy shit, Jack. I've always been interested primarily in the subject and information in your videos, but the cinematography of this one blew me away, 10/10.
I don't know who i like more the beautiful painting or that gorgeous guy 😍😍❤
I have a lot of respect for these kinds of people. The patience and care it takes to restore a work of art is unreal.
Awesome. I always enjoy watching a master craftsman at work.
I haven't seen anyone's work on RUclips done with as much care, skill, and perfection as Julian's. His work is amazing!
Your hands move with such grace, they are like a ballet as you work so carefully to restore these works. Thank you for making these videos
such delicate hands
happy to see our master's work in safe hand .

She is just beautiful!
Fantastic shots, Jack! It's great to see crafts like this still alive here in Chicago.
wait, if given the case- why wouldn't it be around ? ( restoration?) isn't it the one timeless type of job?
I had no idea the level of craftsmanship that goes into a seamless restoration
What the hell was that spider doing there?? That painting must have been in some dank storage..
Chicago Aussie ...it's not every day my smartass comments turn out to have some truth to them. Thank you so much for even bothering to reply! 💕
I imagine its better to see a spider instead of a moth.
Billie Maier I hate spiders, but thinking about a month anywhere near paintings done on fabric canvas is enough to make my heartbeat jump.
I'm not sure moths are interested in fabric when it's covered in paint.
@@rkt739 technically moths don't make holes in fabric. The caterpillars do. So If you just put one moth on it nothing would happen, other than the moth dying of starvation. And that's only a specific kind of moth. Most moths don't do much to fabric.

May be you know the music details ?

Mr. Baumgartner is every bit as masterful as the artists he conserves. And his work is every bit as important as the work of the original artists.
this is soooo cool. i love how he fixed the tear!!!
Wonderful restoration She is once again bright and perfect !!
this was a spiritual experience i have been brought to tears
I know most people come here to watch the beautiful artwork but this really helps me fall asleep. I love the music!
I don’t know how hard it is, but I know this much,
You are a true master at painting
I felt like crying, he cares for this picture like a mother for her child.
imagine if you accidentally sneezed

Thats a great question and I'm sure the answer is yes ,cause that's how I felt watching this
definitely YES! when you can really see the expression in the eyes of the painting....that is magical!

The intricacy of the paintings that you see after the varnish and dirt is removed is breathtaking.
A real pleasure to see him so delicately restore this artwork and to give it a second life 👏🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️ I Love you guy 😘🌈
His work restoring fine art is a work of art in and of itself.
Wow, this is amazing!
I love when he painted those cracks!

Such an amazing work, i found it very interesting
From Insider.... I can't be satisfied with just one vid and now I'm here and Imma spend a whole hour watching art restorations
