    • @ozark7076
      @ozark7076 5 лет назад +95

      Shenanigans I know right! More than anything I appreciate how when he paints over the areas with losses, he doesn’t try to add in any painterly flair or whatnot, he just does what is necessary. And even if it doesn’t look the exact same close up, it looks pretty darn good when you’re looking at painting as a whole. It’s truly the mark of a good conservationist

    • @ozark7076
      @ozark7076 5 лет назад +27

      Donald Trump For sure, I don’t think there’d ever be a case where a person doesn’t want the paint to match. But sometimes, depending on the type of paint used and other factors, it can get extremely difficult to color match exactly. And though it’s preferred, all that really matters is that the repainted areas are in unison with the rest of the painting. If it’s not, we’ve seen him remove and correct repaint jobs he feels don’t match well enough so I really think the reason he doesn’t always match the colors perfectly is that he just doesn’t need to?

    • @wuggy4082
      @wuggy4082 5 лет назад +49

      the point of retouching is not to repaint the painting, it is to disguise the damage, hence why he doesn’t mimic the painting style or exact color. he purposely makes it different.

    • @Tommy9834
      @Tommy9834 5 лет назад +23

      @Donald Trump there are two types of conservations.
      One type is to hide all the damages, and make it look like new to the best of one's ability. This one is for moatly collectors
      The other is to show that restoration work was done. This one is used for meusums usually.

      @@CallieMasters5000 Well the Mona Lisa was restored in 1809 by Jean-Marie Hooghstoel who was a bit over ambitious and removed the topmost layer of paint by using a bit too agressive cleaning. This has not been fixed, because it would mean you had to repaint the Mona Lisa.

      @@spygulturtle2322 the picture on the box was of it outside, although i have to admit i didnt check because i didnt think there were greenhouses meant to be used indoors. its really flimsy but it also has stakes to try to anchor it to the ground. the winds where i live are strong enough to blow a trampoline that's chained to a swingset away, so many things act like sails and fall apart at the weak points. the trampoline's leg came off cuz the wind was so strong. but mostly it was a shitty greenhouse in the first place.

    I can't get over how this painting is about 500 years old and still in viewable condition but this whole endeavor is "Well, THAT was shortsighted, but if we fix their mistakes, we should be good to go"... like... how long is this painting gonna last? But of course that's what's so cool about your work.
    Although, isn't it possible that many more people will see this painting via your RUclips video than have ever seen it in person, combined? Imagine trying to convey what's happening now to the artist--trying to describe how huge an audience would be poring over the tiniest details of their work a half-millennium later.

      How would the artist feel about having an expert taking incredible amounts of care to preserve his art? How would he feel knowing millions were watching and appreciating that the painting would now last for centuries to come? It kind of makes me teary thinking about it ;u;
