When it came time to reframe the gouache, Suz Evans, Associate Conservation Framer, crafted a French-lined mat by hand, a rare and bespoke service. Suz shared their experience crafting the French-lined mat, stating, "The French-lined mat was a fun project. This is a service that most frame shops have to outsource to the few companies that will make them (by hand) these days. Computerized mat cu...

Shipping damage to sculptures can be a significant concern, as sculptures are often delicate and can be easily damaged during transit if not adequately protected and handled. Take, for example, these two sculptures portraying polo players from the Tang Dynasty, a historic imperial era in China spanning from 618 to 907 CE. These sculptures capture the dynamic nature of the sport, showcasing hors...

Watch as our paper conservator applies pastel, with a blending stick, to an area of scratches to compensate the damage that occurred from broken glazing.

I love that style!
Que fabuloso trabajo!!!! Felicitaciones. Parecen 2 pinturas diferentes.
That’s not a mirror, it’s a frame😊
Please ☺️ what is the glue required to help real gold leaf stick to the metal ..or another material such as glue .. and not be torn away later 🤔
Why would someone paint a terribly painted face OVER a classical artists painting of a face? Very odd….and how delightful to discover.
Sometimes people fell into disgrace and public images where hidden... The man of the original face looks like someone around 1720, the newer face looks like 1790. The red cape induces that this person might have been some kind of chancellor of an university or a politician with some function. Not every portrait painting has been made to put on a wall in an ancestral portrait gallery. In many cases public buildings / offices have a portrait of the person who is actual in charge. Sometimes the change can happen very quickly. To paint a completely new painting is more expensive and needs time. If you have a painting of a former holder of the office which you don't need anymore and the clothes look generic enough, why not reuse it with a new face?
There's noting educational about this video except to show that paper can be cleaned somehow.
СПАСИБО ЗА ВИДЕО. ДЛЯ ВАС ОТРЫВОК ИЗ СТИХОТВОРЕНИЯ: Тебе с тобой, порой теряешь аппетит, В набросках сходных, несколько штрихов, Хвалою доброй, покрывал полотна я, Заслуги восклицания, восхищаясь искусством, Гляжу на полотно я, где блудная Англия, Похоже что погибель, ждет на чужбине, Картина вздох, бессильный исторгала, С мазками полотна, у флотского причала, Стоял корабль, томился так долго, Лишь якорь на цепи, держал его, Подул и ветер, флаг над головой ожил, Затрепетал, в желании отрадном.....
i wonder whether the original person portrayed was loved...........perhpas it was a piece of scumbag
Is that original Rubens
To lay the gold leaf flat on the gilders Cush a light breath saying the word per. Retired sign writer.
Tried this on a Picasso, now I have brown. 0 stars
is this a one artist exquisite corpse ? I find that a disappointing curatorial choice. No exquisite corpse is a technical masterpiece; by design its structure disrupts any intention of masterful application of Art theory. An exceptional exquisite corpse makes itself exemplary through its conceptual strength as a social tool, originating from its tradition of collaboration. I think this artwork, if it is by one artist, perpetuates the very idea which threatens the gallery as a social institution. Which the essence of the exquisite corpse intends to disrupt; that art is a material object, created by an individual in isolation who through their exclusivity is deemed exceptional by the Institution selected among the masses. Which is unfortunate for the gallery who seeks to be effectual in facilitating communal effort toward public good for the love it: true art.
My eyes: 🤯😇 My ears: 😱☠️
Nice
My you tube channel vasim Malik cool
Try making bread without a recipe or ingredients! How can we try this at home, if no process or chemistry information is provided? Pointless having the ' Don't Try At home ' disclaimer, really. I'll consult my Edward Mortensen books. As others have said- the music is irritating...
immediately tries this at home
Although the result is magnificent I'd love to here something about the how and why. Sadly almost nothing is explained 😞 And this music…
A Masterpiece!
Love the work and I would equally loved to have a good look at the frame PRIOR to your working on it 😐 Oh! and Vivaldi would be rolling in his grave if he heard what that violinist did to his music 🤨 just saying....
Don't know, but the conservationprocess didn't match wirh the title. Where did the new face come from? Bs
Look at the before and after images at 2:00. The before has a face looking left with short hair. The after has a face looking right with long hair. Someone painted over the "after" face, and the paint was removed during the restoration process.
@@na195097 Yeah, but the click-bait title says "uncovering the face", and instead it was more of a "now you see it" lol.
Does any one recognize who this was, and who painted it?
0:31 so who was the original sitter?, and who was the new head?
Nice video! A brief explanation of each step would be great.
This music is awful
I believe that drawing was a Rubens.
Great vid, terrible music
:
What’s with the weird music? It puts my insides on edge Can’t watch without muting…..
So good creep in spraying that cancis
Nothing is spraying
Yh it looks like nothings happening

What r u doing?
Our conservation team is cleaning a mural at the Harlem Blue Line Station in Chicago.
Thank you for this video of the restoration of Carlo Bugatti plant stand... fantastic to see such a rare piece of furniture being restored. Especially considering the relative complications inherent in so many materials being used in the same object. I wonder if you might consider slowing down the playback in your next video... there was so much to see and so little time in which to appreciate your painstaking work. lol
How do you protect the gilded objects? With some kind of varnish or shellak? Help
That painting came back to life
Velázquez.
Nuh uh! 😳🤯
Wish my chisels were that sharp!
Nice! Wish my hands were that steady
It looks it lost its original colours
Long live Europeans.
Would have been nice to see the painting in the frame once restored.
taggers are the biggest cornballs in the graffiti community. low effort shitty quality tags that you cant even read
Visited four times over the past 12+ years. Always fascinating to see the uncommon skills applied so well to a great variety of items.
Hurrah! What a pleasant sound is the melody played by barrel organ!
OEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Always fascinating process done with such care. Might be a tad easier to watch without that annoying 'musical' (noise?) background. More of a distraction than anything else. Thanks... F.
I personally wonder what kind of patina was used, it really made the new gold blend in with the old. I really think that's an art in itself, never truly works for me. Any ideas on the type of patina?
