Incredible. They got Fred Jones from Scooby-Doo to narrate.

I'm glad the paintings are back; the restoration is very good!!! It is so well done the tears are hardly noticeable!!!

[@frankwerner6355]

If you have to roll an oil painting, always do it with the face down. In this way, the cracks that appear in the paint will close again when you unroll it.

When i'm thinking about that there's large amounts of stolen art and artifacts in some rich guys private collection it just makes me sad, the amount of history lost by it damages humanity itself.

[@yvonneemmert904]

If you can't paint art!!! Steal it!!!

"sliced right along the edge"...so, anytime an appraiser tells you it's not the original frame - always be suspicious? 😅 It does seem odd that a frame would get damaged and need replacing but the painting is completely fine (not that the appraiser themselves are the thief, necessarily, just that the painting could have been stolen at some point throughout it's existence)
