Most of the comments are unfunny attempts to be clever. There's only so many times one can laugh at: Julian: *says something professional and intelligent* Me: *says something unprofessional and unintelligent in contrast* It's pretty obnoxious to have to dig through the comment section to find anything helpful or constructive about the work itself.

@@CuhShark Ah, yeah I understand how that can be annoying. Never hurts to do some research outside of RUclips. The comments are not top tier comedy and can become redundant but, to each their own. I can see how you came to that conclusion and I hope you have better experiences in the future.

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
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?
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.
@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.
@@metalema6 yeah people the past didn't have all the available stuff like we do today, in the future some one will just be able to look this video and see what he did
@@pinkpugginz you dont know how much he makes. Yes he may make good money from his art restoration, but it's also expensive to get materials and it's a time-consuming job. Sponsors may help him.
I think its refers to the name. Salvator Mundi means savior of the earth, some people could probably think of Jesus. In this case it's not Jesus I guess?
@@celinestvl he refers to Salvador Mundi by Da Vinci, the most expensive painting ever sold, at450 million dollars. Hope I'm not getting myself whooshed here
Paintings that had been competently conserved don't need Julian's help. Only paintings worked on by the frozen lobster conservators end up in his studio.
Sarah Hunt also helps with religious people. Iconography is extremely important in all religions, from Islamic calligraphy, to statues of the Buddha, to a salvator mundi
i just want to appreciate that he takes the time to actually fix the painting, film it using various camera angles to keep things interesting, editing the hours of footage, putting a voiceover on it, and uploading the final video. just wanted to say thank you
I never realized either until I came across his videos...i watch every single one of them now. And gladly watched the entire video of the scraping process of his latest endeavor. This is ASMR for me for sure...
These are my favorite videos to watch before bed (or when my anxiety meds just arent doing it for me). Relaxing but interesting, super soothing. I love watching the painting get cleaned and repaired, its fascinating. And the "like new" painting at the end of the process, so SATISFYING.
I have found that Julian's voice is super soothing when I'm in an arthritis flare. Soft voice, soothing repetitive motion, and I'm deep breathing to get past the pain. It always works.
14:15 Who would've thought that around half a year after he posted this video, Julian would design AND build a table that would facilitate this process?
Julian: as imperfect as an adhesive hide glue is, it really is the best for this kind of conservation. Me, knowing only Elmer's and glitter glue: Ahh yes. Hide glue. It really is the best. Good choice.
Yeah it's still used for building and repairing instruments in the violin family. The easy reversibility comes in handy especially often since it makes repairs so much easier

"I always use reversible paint so that if someone who restore it in the future can undo my work to make it better" It's an awesome approach being a conservator brother cos may be in future new technology may open door to a conserve painting to more sophisticated manners in short it all boils down to a philosophical thinking "whatever do now do it leaving a space for the future generations to work with"

I mean, it's a downplaying of history that's quite common in the UK - a Victorian house might be described as 'getting on a bit' but it doesn't quite qualify as 'old'- it'd have to be around 250+ years to be notably old. Whereas I've heard Americans describe a 50 year old house as 'old'- something built in the 1960s, I've worn dresses older than that! Julian is of course from neither place, but it is interesting to see how being steeped in history makes one both more appreciative and blasé towards it.
Julian: ... "By just building up a layer of fillingmaterial to try to smooth out that ridge, which is absolutely crazy!" Me, while doing a facemask at 3AM: "Absolutely crazy :O"
julian: And you can tell on the left with how little filler I had to use compared with the previous repairs on the right hand side. me: tear the bitch apart, King
Next time one of these comes out I'm going to watch with a friend and say things like if it were me I'd face the painting with washikozo, you know the Japanese mulberry paper, 20 sec before Julian says it.
Dude, I JUST got done with my AP calc exam, so I appreciate this. Also, when I saw you posted this literally a day ago, I suddenly realized we might actually be in the same boat, so that's neat. Idk. I'm very tired.
“Whomever decided to frame it like this has effectively planted a little time bomb in this.. so I’m gonna have to address that and address the poor framing choice, later on.” My man Julian came to throw FISTS today
It's a shame his grammar doesn't match his conservation skills. It should have been whoever, not whomever. That said, everything else about him seems impeccable.
Restorators Heaven Some guys watching RUclips. “Hey Giacomo, remember that Salvador Mundi you did in the 1800's?” Giacomo arrives, sweating, asking him self how they found out. Finally seeing the painting he sighs in relief. “Oh that one, yeah,shabby work, but hey, oilpainting was the shit back then. Guess Julian is gonna grill me. Haha (swallows). Where’s Arnold by the way. He loves these.” “Yeah, since the last one not so much.” In the back in the room, a man in fetus position,whimpering to himself:”Take polyurethane he said, it will be the varnish of the future they said.”
I LOVE the idea of all the old restorers just watching with baited breath and/or broken egos at Baumgartner passive aggressively discrediting and fixing their work
Julian: “When the panel was glued back together, it wasn’t aligned properly.” Me, sitting in my car, shoving Wendy’s in my mouth. “Wow, what an idiot.”

It's fun to watch this video after his recent series "Wood That It Were So Simple". Imagine if he had his clamping table set up when he conserved this painting...
He'd just add filling medium, accurately paint over your kidney and add gloss varnish to match the original. You'd be dead but with a nice realistic kidney restoration
Me: " Oh Wow, a Salvator Mundi" Julian: " Not that Salvator Mundi, another one." Me: " There's another one?" My New Slogan:." Whatever you do in life, make sure it's reversible"
there's two other ones (that I know of), actually! one of them is by Leonardo DaVinci, and another is the de Gunay version, which is the one that was on display in Louvre's Leonardo Da Vinci exhibit. all three paintings show Christ in basically the same position, with only the ball he's holding, his robes, and possibly the gesture he's making with his right hand being the notable differences aside from the three artists' distinct styles. (Salvator Mundi isn't an artist btw, it's the name of the painting. it means "Savior of the World" in Latin :D")
Julian: an absolute professional

So anyway, I started blasting
I ve seen his work published on facebook and people were just shiting was n him

It’s kinda neat how his retouching is also a conversation with people who lived long ago as well those in the future who do not yet exist.
Julian: "An extra set of hands would make this easier"
Me: "I am available right now"
Everytime he paints with a certain color, I'm like: Bruh, that's not even close to the same color. Untill he zooms out, it just blends in.

@@LMANJINA i know right! maybe its my calling
I mean, it's a downplaying of history that's quite common in the UK - a Victorian house might be described as 'getting on a bit' but it doesn't quite qualify as 'old'- it'd have to be around 250+ years to be notably old. Whereas I've heard Americans describe a 50 year old house as 'old'- something built in the 1960s, I've worn dresses older than that!
Julian is of course from neither place, but it is interesting to see how being steeped in history makes one both more appreciative and blasé towards it.
@@ellaisplotting it's different from coast to coast as well lol. An old house in California was built in 1970. An old house in New York- 1870.
Another note is that in America "quite" means "very," whereas in Britain "quite" means "just a little."
Lol the sound of disgust in his voice when talking about the unnecessary overfilling to disguise a mistake 😂
I love these videos because they’re soothing enough to put to sleep at 3am but then interesting enough to finish it the next morning
Me: Can I have a Salvator Mundi?
Mom: We have Salvator Mundi at home
Salvator Mundi at home:
HAHHAHAHA this is legendary
I'm crying, you made my day 🤣🤣🤣🤣
By far the smoothest transition into an ad-read I've ever seen.
A+ transition for sure
Almost like using lots of filler and heavy retouching...
Was about to comment this haha!
Like that one nurse who was really good with kids and vaccines.... And we're done
I
Have been searching for someone who notice that too😂😂
Julian: ... "By just building up a layer of fillingmaterial to try to smooth out that ridge, which is absolutely crazy!"
Me, while doing a facemask at 3AM: "Absolutely crazy :O"
No, no, this IS what we wanted, Julian.
Literally the sweetest and most wholesome thing is when you can hear that lil genuine smile in his voice it's so cute
julian: And you can tell on the left with how little filler I had to use compared with the previous repairs on the right hand side.
me: tear the bitch apart, King
Next time one of these comes out I'm going to watch with a friend and say things like if it were me I'd face the painting with washikozo, you know the Japanese mulberry paper, 20 sec before Julian says it.
lol cute
That's a mood
Julian-“More clamps is more better.”
Me, exhausted after a long day of exams: *wow, dem sum gud werd usage*
Dude, I JUST got done with my AP calc exam, so I appreciate this. Also, when I saw you posted this literally a day ago, I suddenly realized we might actually be in the same boat, so that's neat. Idk. I'm very tired.
Yep yep. Less words, brain tired
Same. Finals are killer. Especially for people with a severe anxiety disorder (me)
Y'all are fortunate, having them done already. I have mine just coming up, starting Tuesday.
@@flowerdolphin5648 ouch
These comment sections are pretty much us all screaming at staples, past 11:00pm well eating I’m so proud
RUclips: You are now interested in the restoration of 17th century paintings.
Me: "But I just-"
RUclips: Sssshhh
I cannot even begin to describe how true this is. I’ve been addicted to these for weeks. I have serious problem.
I’m vibin tho.
@@lewisacevedo5914 same...I watched others...not the same
RUclips knows what's best for you. Just do what RUclips says.
Glad it's not just me.
The closest thing I can think of that would relate to this is one video I watched about the first camera
''The panel has split in several places due to poor framing techniques"
Me, eating chips in my sweatpants: Pfft, amateurs. Look at that craquelure.
snookerhands - Hahahahaha I’m literally eating chips in my sweatpants right now. And I pretty much had the same reaction.
You're wearing pants?
Too damn hot here for pants.
craquelure and splitting are distinct phenomena
haha!!
Pants?.........ugh .....well aren't we fancy?
“The hand, on the other hand... heh.” THE SUBTLETY TO HIS COMEDY IS IMPECCABLE 😩😩
“Whomever decided to frame it like this has effectively planted a little time bomb in this.. so I’m gonna have to address that and address the poor framing choice, later on.”
My man Julian came to throw FISTS today
It's a shame his grammar doesn't match his conservation skills. It should have been whoever, not whomever. That said, everything else about him seems impeccable.
@@joshuarosen6242 Yeah, he also said "fermiliar" and not "familiar"
I think the original framer felt that.
Restorators Heaven
Some guys watching RUclips.
“Hey Giacomo, remember that Salvador Mundi you did in the 1800's?”
Giacomo arrives, sweating, asking him self how they found out. Finally seeing the painting he sighs in relief.
“Oh that one, yeah,shabby work, but hey, oilpainting was the shit back then. Guess Julian is gonna grill me. Haha (swallows). Where’s Arnold by the way. He loves these.”
“Yeah, since the last one not so much.”
In the back in the room, a man in fetus position,whimpering to himself:”Take polyurethane he said, it will be the varnish of the future they said.”
I love this
I LOVE the idea of all the old restorers just watching with baited breath and/or broken egos at Baumgartner passive aggressively discrediting and fixing their work
The best comment!
tbh for a 300~ year old painting i feel like it looked pretty damn good to start with
I expected him to say POLYURETHANE when he said “I’m going to use a material you wouldn’t expect me to”
Jackie Chow he would NEVER omg
the heresy...
I thought he was going to say uranium because I wouldn't expect him to use that
SAME LMAO
DO NOT SAY THAT EVIL WORD!!
Julian: “When the panel was glued back together, it wasn’t aligned properly.”
Me, sitting in my car, shoving Wendy’s in my mouth. “Wow, what an idiot.”
Abbie Lloyd 🤣🤣🤣 I feel this on a spiritual level.
i laughed so hard at this LMAO why is this me
Are we all related?
hahahahaha brilliant
Why do you all make the same comment with the food choice slightly different?
we’re all so invested in this man and his paintings
He speaks like me when I’m trying to get to the word count for an essay
Wollowa precisely

me: not thinking and saying anything
Julian: NO not that Salvador Mundi
LOL
It's fun to watch this video after his recent series "Wood That It Were So Simple". Imagine if he had his clamping table set up when he conserved this painting...
“This painting had really really been abused in the past”
#JusticeForPaintings #StopAbusingThem
Well, at least cats didn't sit on this one.

Juicy
I think Julian's videos are helping me restore my innocence... i didn't get it
Michael Scott: *”Thats what she said!”*
😆❤️
me: wow Julian is so smart
Julian: *handish looking blob*
Ah yes. My favorite RUclips series. Crucifying long-dead art restorers.
They deserve it. Bastards.
And soft, cultured burning of the previous conservators.
Wasn't expecting this and should've been XD
I would trust Julian with a kidney transplant
He'd just add filling medium, accurately paint over your kidney and add gloss varnish to match the original. You'd be dead but with a nice realistic kidney restoration
@@IFGchannel931 he's not the one making editorial decisions here. he's gonna make sure it's reversible.
These videos just really smoothe out my own cracks and losses. What a soothing, mellow, relaxing watch. A beautiful craft.
Us: Why did you put black cloth over the foam?
Baumgartner: a e s t h e t i c s
Watching the title:
"Oh yes, it's definitely not that one"
Even tho I don't know both of them
Him: I know it sounds crazy, but I'm using my finger-
Me, not comprehending the significance: THAT MADMAN
The other is a Leonardo Davinci
@@rachael1090 WOW! I didn't know. Going to look that up.
@@donnaspear8494 yup, I just googled "Salvador Mundi" and it showed up immediately :)
Vestion isn’t that still being debated by the experts or have they made their mind up yet. Is it definitely a ‘by Leonardo’ or attributed to Leonardo?
50 seconds in "that's due to some poor framing techniques"
Well, time to get the marshmallows because this is gonna get *roasty*
No shade here 😁😁😁
He went straight in
Me: " Oh Wow, a Salvator Mundi"
Julian: " Not that Salvator Mundi, another one."
Me: " There's another one?"
My New Slogan:." Whatever you do in life, make sure it's reversible"
there's two other ones (that I know of), actually! one of them is by Leonardo DaVinci, and another is the de Gunay version, which is the one that was on display in Louvre's Leonardo Da Vinci exhibit. all three paintings show Christ in basically the same position, with only the ball he's holding, his robes, and possibly the gesture he's making with his right hand being the notable differences aside from the three artists' distinct styles.
(Salvator Mundi isn't an artist btw, it's the name of the painting. it means "Savior of the World" in Latin :D")
Me: omg i have tons to do
*Baumgartner Restoration
notifies*
I could hear a podcasts of Julian all day, he's voice is so calming even when roasting previous restorations
Both relaxing AND satisfying lol
