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"

I can just imagine Kit looking at the Employee of the Month listings just to see the Hot Table listed several times.
Every time Julian uses Washikozo, I am extremely happy. It’s my favourite material that I haven’t used myself 😂
Kit yawning and on her phone in the background is hilarious
Please never think we bore of this process. I know you might think that 'new content' is what we're looking for, but it's not. Although the process is very similar with every painting, the small nuances and watching your fictitious work is why we're here. I was trying to save this one until part 2 came out so I could watch them back to back, but I didn't last long. Thanks for your great content.
Kit’s face when you called the hot table your favorite employee
I could be wrong, but I believe this a painting of St Francis of Assisi, as he is displaying the stigmata on his hand. Either way, it’s a beautiful piece of art!!
"A monk with a crucifix" is a bit of an understatement -- that's St. Francis of Assisi. The stigmata on the hands and brown robe give it away.
Not a monk, a friar. The first friar-St. Francis of Assisi. The giveaway? The stigmata, the wounds of Jesus appearing on the body of the saint.
I’m curious on how you’d restore something on paper opposed to canvas or wood, like a watercolour painting. I assume it’d be a different process from a canvas
I really appreciate that you point out the different areas of concern using color-coding under the black light. It's great for helping those of us with untrained eyes see what you're talking about. Love your videos!
Julian: let’s circle the areas of retouching
Julian: "Because of course, square Things are easy. You know...like Squarespace."
Julian, I would like to inform you that the person in the picture is not "a monk," as you say at minute
something that really gets to me about these videos, when the painting is covered in old varnish and overpaint and grime, because we get to be the first people in who knows how long to see it as it was meant to be seen. theres just something so beautiful about having the privilege to live in an era where we can restore art with such care and precision
I get so excited when I see Julian going in the UV room because you know it's going to be a doozy! 😂
The whole painting was fluorescing, I just groaned! No wonder Julian named the title like this!
The stigmata & the items in the painting normally appear in pics of St John of the Cross, poet & Doctor of the Church, co-founder of the Carmellite order. (Stigmata, cross/crucifix, plume & book). However, the cassock looks more Franciscan than Carmellite, Suggesting St Francis of Assisi, who isn't normally depicted without being surrounded by animals or children, being patron saint of both - v odd.
Thank you for correcting
I like your comment about how using technology for "technology's sake" isn't always the best or most efficient solution and sometimes using old time-honored techniques are better paths to take. It was great to see your finished picture frame project from your previous video installment looking luminous and fancy against the wall. Thank you!
Good to see Kit is still around
