After this guy got a hold of it? No thanks
Omg. I dont know how many times i gasped with this. Baumgartner restoration is the best if you want to see restoration done gently and properly. Wax and resin on such a delicate piece? And no gentle handling.
I was thinking the exact same thing...
I'm glad I'm not the only one. I. had to jump to the end, I just couldn't watch it- a total train wreck.
Totally in agreement, and I'm only 6 minutes in. I am shouting at my laptop in horror. Was that Superglue he was using on the tears? Julian has shown us that all his work is reversible, if ever it has to be redone. I know I shouldn't continue with this but it's like a really bad horror movie that must be watched until the end. EDIT. Well it didn't get any better. From using White Spirit to clean away the excess wax and gummed up tape residue, to scrubbing the surface like he was cleaning a shirt collar. Admittedly it was restored to an acceptable degree but it was still grimy in places and the final retouching was heavy handed.
Would not speak about 'restoration', better do nothing than total destruction.
Same... had to turn it off...
Lost me at the super glue.
SAME. I was like “wait… is that like a special REVERSIBLE glue??”
SUPERGLUE ugh
Plus1. Literally stopped watching at that point
That and what looked like scotch tape on the front
Same here.I can't watch this😭
Def not Baumgartner approved 😆😆😆😆
I have asked so many times on Baumgartners video comment sections for him to do a reaction video to all these new restoration videos. Man, how awesome would that be.
When I saw the rectangular strip of canvas taped to the hole, I thought, "I can't watch this!" Cringe! Baumgartner has ruined me.
We are Baumjackals! 😅 Julian might have to address it someday.
Baumgartner a drama queen. No one cares about the back of the painting if it has a tiny patch or a bigger patch.
watch him too. watching this vid makes me to O.o "wtf?!"
@@rickvaiBBBIt CAN actually make a difference! Julizn is GRRREAT @ His job!!!! His apprentice at this time.. is VERY fortunate to be learning from him!!
@@LadySytheSAME HERE!! 😮
It's like watching a trainwreck. I am going to rewatch Baumgartner videos for the next hour to get the taste out of my mouth!
I was going to same the same thing
This is so true, it hurts
I was thinking the same thing! Way too aggressive and what is called reversible is hardly that once the wax is absorbed into the painting itself. I think Masters of Craft should show Baumgartner videos!
No washi kozo!
I love that all these comments are about Julien/Baumgartner. However, to be fair, Julien is the best of the Best
Not really, there are lots of people around the world who can do what he does
Like who? Atleast ppl that post it? He’s the best because he’s delicate, knowledgeable & all his paintings look amazing after
@@ROGRAHAMMM he's dime a dozen. he just has a youtube channel.
I need to watch at least 3 Baumgartner Videos after That.. feels violent. Yes everyone tries their best, but Baumgartner is on another level
Anyone else watch this and think,"what would Julian do?" I get that there are many restoration techniques taught and that time,money,and schooling can influence how a piece might be restored but holy crap,could the restoration technician be a fair bit more heavy handed during cleanup? New curse word combinations fell fast and furiously as this video played and I uttered a quiet apology to the artist whose work was being "retouched". I'm gonna go binge some of Julian's videos now to appreciate his gentler approach to restoration.
P. S. Yes I sound like a snobby UA-cam commenter who has absolutely no formal art education/training to judge this "retouching" but I'd be just as irked at the heavy handed techniques if I did have professional art training.
Julian use wazi gozo paper to protect the front of the painting then after heat and pressure he could safely remove the old canvas.
No, you're completely correct
Unbelievable!
He's so heavy handed with the painting and with his brushwork
I expected a paint scraper to appear at any moment
I had to stop watching it was all too much
By the time it got to sandpapering the filler I was cringing at each new ‘technique’.
My family made me stop
I lost it with the super glue…
Even if I had never seen Julian work before... this was so heavy handed!! Just scrubbing away and using sandpaper?! The way he put it on the frame?! 😰
Geeze loueeeeze. What a ham-handed restoration. This guy should be painting the outside of a barn, not restoring a "masterpiece".
Sry, looks like a terror movie to me. Julien spoiled us. 😢
“Professionally Restored”, does not necessarily mean “well restored”! A pallet knife should be used to apply the filler, never an Exacto knife. Sand paper should never be used on the paint layer. Care must be taken not to abrade the edge of the paint layer with the hammer or scrap it with a construction utility knife. The retouching was heavy handed. The priests banner was completely erased. Oils should never be used to retouch, even if there is a barrier layer applied.
Seems like techniques he learned more than 50 years ago and never updated or learned anything new. I'm with several other commenters in that I like to watch Baumgartner restorations and even though he likes to say there are other methods I don't believe he would approve of this.
and now .. send it to Julian for proper restoration.
That’s harsh! But I agree. I couldn’t afford Baumgartner for my painting so I’m hoping for the best.
He is only asking $2000 for the piece after restoration. Colorado Art Restoration would charge more for the repairs than that so I know Julian costs even more.
Rude.
@@annekabrimhall1059He's not selling it. The people who have created the video are.
Who’s Julian? Does he have a channel?
BEAUTIFUL! BEAUTIFUL! BEAUTLIFUL!
All steps in this restoration are wrong.
“We have art restoration at home” 😂
CYANOACRYLATE GLUE! 😮
So will this restorer despise Baumgartner or watch his videos and learn??
Wait. You had to photoshop out imperfections that the conservator was too lazy or not skilled enough to do in the first place? And then you’re selling a prints of the photoshopped version and passing them off as complete restorations? This is blasphemy.
I would love to see Julian work on this painting.
..i feel like i am watching what not to do .... sorry
More explanation for some of the procedures would be welcome. Hot wax in the liner adhesive? Why do this? It does not seem like a good idea. Why put on a stretcher cover (with staples which rust) when the painting is already newly lined. Why then stain it and the stretcher? Why scrape the edge of the painting after stretching?
Baumgartner Restoration. HE Explains everything He's doin.. And WHY. The way He words it... sounds almost like poetry as He explains everything... soothing calming voice!
My eyes cried when I saw the scotch tape
@garyallen8824 YES He does. Its like listening to soothing poetry.. or a bedtime story.
I believe this gentleman is using older techniques for restoring paintings. I was surprised by the wax technique also. I believe Julian mentions this technique on one of his restorations when removing old hide glue. I also believe it wasn't scotch tape he was using but special conservation tape. All in all, while different from Baumgarten Restoration this painting does look much better.
@@pistolannie6500 Don't know this Baumgartner. But after your description of how he speaks it sounds like he wishes to be a Bob Ross of restoration.
I like watching restoration works from this channel, but this is kind of difficult to watch. His techniques seemed heavy-handed and feels rushed. Like he's in a hurry to finish this delicate fragile art piece. This art was already neglected and cracking quite literally. But I'm glad the end result still looked good. I do hope this painting lasts the test of time.
Reluctantly forced to agree with most of the other comments here. I haven’t watched Baumgarrtner, but I have seen a lot of other restoration work online and in person, and this gentleman’s approach seemed heavy-handed to say the least. Some of the material choices were… odd.
Pity.
You will enjoy it if you do watch him @emmacannon
OH WOW As many have already commented: this was really hard to watch! But I also feel very sorry for the guy, because I think he can't do better or doesn't know how to do it better. However, the worst part was the sanding of the filler material!!! And the scraping of the edges was also painful.
Isso se tornou o meu filme de terror...
To muito assustada com essa "restauração"
😨😢
I agree!!
right he repainted the upper right side like he was the Painter of it this will have to be redone by some one that has more skill. thanks fully he used reversable paint.
OMG! How many times do you think Julian would have dropped his scalpel. Talk about overfill!
I watch a different painting restorer and his methods seem less evasive than this one. wax and tape? idk....this feels very old fashioned. Did he just use soap made for humans to clean the painting?!
STAPLES!
Guess keeping the flag during retouching wasn't important. Also, how did the faces end up looking worse after?
what flag? if you're referring to what on the left that was a hole
@@tonywoods4270 ok
i really don’t want to hate this but i might just be traumatized by julien’s perfect work 😩
I have seen some harsh criticism about Baumgartner techniques on this channel and I could not tell if it was justified. But watching this, I didn't have a feeling I am watching Master of Craft. Some parts are pretty rough. I have no experience at all, but just simple things, like placing bottle with solvent on the top of the painting (14:24), even though with some paper underneath, does not look very professional, especially when you deal with valuable artwork. Then using scapel instead of spatula and later using what looks like sandpaper doesn't seem right. And the rough cutting of canvas with just the blade, even I could do better.
Umm scotch tape.
He only said "tape". Even Baumgartner has occasionally used tape in his videos, but he does specify that it is acid-free tape.
Whoever told you to fix paintings like that, is beyond me….. 🤦🏼♀️🙄
That wax is gonna be real fun for the next conservator to remove.
Tape???!! NOOOOO
“After this guy restored the painting, we had someone do a more thorough job than him in photoshop”
Haha
It’s an old painting but it is certainly not a “masterpiece”
Man...the amount of disrespect in the comments is unreal. All these 5-year olds on here harassing a restoration professional saying "TiS gAi BeTa!". These comments just need to be reported for harassment and bullying at this point.
If you are a follower of Baumgartner Restoration you would understand.
@@jill552 Understand what? Did Baumgartner tell you, his fans, to go and harass other restoration channels?
honestly, as a professional artist I would sue if someone used superglue and sticky tape under heat on my work.
I am reporting as many comments as possible. This is harassment, for real. I swear most of them must not be adults, I find it very hard to believe that an adult person would watch one UA-cam channel, think they're an expert because of that, and then find other channels to put their content down.
No professional would do most of this stuff to this painting
Please watch some Baumgartner Restoration videos, it might inspire you. I am shocked for god sake, you use the same tools but this aint a fine art treatment. I stopped the video at the 16.minute. What is wrong with you?
It is NOT a work of a master but a rather crude/simple painting, hardly worth the effort.
Wiping off the varnish in such big passes makes me cringe!!! 😢
I can’t believe he used a paper towel to remove anything.
I don’t think Julian would approve of Scotch Tape.😮
Yikes!
Well done. Lots of armchair critics thinking they know better.
Lots of art restorers specialist in the comments... 🤨
Too hard to watch
Very interesting! Concerning the hunting scene, it seems more Dutch than Italian, also the context of all the details, type of the hounds. If it's from the 18th century, then very early, close to the later 17th.
Oh God- a staple gun!
Very heavy handed and roughly done. thankfully the end result was fine but could have been much better, tool selection was brutal. I'm sure the restorer has done this successfully hundreds of times, but man oh man it was hard to watch. The use of tape and scalpels. whew! he got there in the end i think
My only Question is whether the conservator used oil paints or conservation grade paints for the restoration. Coz judging from the video, it looks like he has used oil paints which according to modern conservation guidelines should not be used as they are not reversible.
He stated he used restoration paints.
@@kjwhitty8820 Ohh. Okay. I may have missed that part. Thanks.🙏🏻
OMG, I would not have this guy work on a my calendar that hangs on my wall much less an oil painting!
Captivating...
Omg JB would be crying. A wax lining. No bridging, no washi, non interleaf, no nylon spun gossamer! No checking for fugitive colours. He is going to staple it to a stretcher isn’t he 😪😪😪😪😪😪
This guy is a butcher...
Painting over the artist's vision is always a no-no. No wonder nobody has bought this painting from their website.
I am reading the comments and having a quiet chuckle. Mr Baumgartner has ‘ruined’ in the nicest possible way my enjoyment of paint restoration videos; if it’s not done the way Julian does it, it’s wrong. And I can’t look at a staple without wanting to throw it out of a top story building. Even when it comes to furniture restoration, I shudder at staple guns. I am no art expert, but I look at old paintings and say to myself ‘that needs a clean,’ I think this picture came up well , despite it not being done ‘The Baumgartner Way!’ As Julian would say, as long as the material used is reversible, then no harm done.
Somebody in the comments mentioned "sandpaper"?
I thought, "On what? There is no streacher. Imagine my horror when it dawned on me.
I'm out ....
Julian where are you?
I remind you that there a more than one school of art conservation, and unless yourself are a pro, should not criticize the work of an experienced master. Not because you watch videos on youtube can judge other's job, that´s unpolite and noob shittalk as hell.
I try to learn from all restorers! This guy went to school years ago. We know rabbit skin and resin is a centuries old way to attach a lining and MUCH cheaper. If he used modern product he couldn’t resell it for $2000 like he does. He also might not have the supplies and access to modern adhesive. I was cringing at the CA glue but I wish there was more description of pros and cons of the differing techniques.
For real. As viewers we can certainly judge the aesthetic result, but we're not the professionals. It's pretty disheartening to watch art restoration videos and everyone criticize their methods vs. Julian's.
100% agree. I'm shocked by the comments. Everyone all of a sudden seems an expert! They don't know the full story, this certainly isn't the whole process being filmed.
/Master of destruction…OMG/😢
Did he say 18th century painting, painted in the 19th century?? What the hell ! Why didn’t he face it with mulberry paper first ? I’ll bet this guy isn’t trained in conservation!
I agree what a hatchet job, my heart was in my throat. send it to Julian Baumgartner, who trained this man and in what century.
There are a number of things done to this painting during restoration which, frankly, horrify me. The restorer used cello tape on the front of the painting! Quelle horror!
Did I miss the bit with the belt sander, or oxy-acetylene “wax warming” torch… joking, not aside, I was cringing as I watched this… yikes! 😳
Omg. Its really botched conservation. What an overpainting! Colors does not match properly, wheres the ground filling and imitation of craqelure? Its like completely amateur restoration.
Was half of the "peasant" woman hidden when framed? 😮
This s definitely not the correct way to restore an original painting. Is this a joke???
Good Job!
No mulberry paper. No fish glue. No traceing of the area for new lining inlays, with careful cutting out. Tape just placed directly onto the paint surface! Wax. Wax. No. This is not how I was trained by Julian.
Just do not watch it. They guy is not a restorer. It is painful to watch...
17:53 nice restoraton style, how it named? Maybe hammer restoration?
I am laughing at all THE ART RESTORERS COMMENTING!😂😂😂
as a professional artist I am very disconcerted by the use of sticky-tape under heat and superglue. not even furniture restoreres consider that reversable
Terrible!!! What a mess.... This is no proper restauration.... I recommend Baumgartner!!
did it seem like there was still dirt and old varnish when he started retouching ?
O lord the process you are using are horrible, you are damaging it more, lord this hurts me to watch.
I love this painting restoration series so much! My favorite one is the one that involves using agar gel. Hope theres a longer version of it!
Getting a notification that you upload is like a treat for me so please never stop uploading! Hope to see more restoration videos from you! 🙌🏼
Wow, another graduate of The Ecce Homo School from Spain... 😬
I would never allow my painting to be restored like this... my eyes hurt.
I appreciate this is your art form but I found this difficult to watch...I think if you had slowed down and had closer and better use of camera angels..it would have been more interesting ...it seemed you would use gobs on a brush work it around then a large piece of cotton rubbed away...but we saw nothing of what you achieved at the time.part of why I watch art restoration is the calm cleaning, the explaining of styles it is in the details...mixing paint, colour matching.I'm sorry I didn't subscribe
Me: saw the superglue 😱🤔... went ahead in the comment section😅
Can't stand to watch even a minute of this. What a flipping disaster. Haven't any of these people heard of Baumgartner?
I know Baumgartner, but I haven't seen that Julian guy you all are talking about 🤔 i suppose he is pretty good, just as Baumgartner. What is his channel?
Julian Baumgartner is the guy
@@ridi uh damn thanks 😅
I watch a lot of Baumgartner restoration, and this hurts
I kept looking at the video and saying, “Nooooooo.”
Madam I do not believe this is a professional
Viendo los arreglos que más adelante arreglará Julián 😂
OMG! Take your art and run.
Ужас 😱 варворство
Some jobs are so meaningful !
Mr. Bean hold my Beer, i make it better.
The mixture of wax and resin at 6:10 is quite colourful! And it is encouraged through cvccum and heat to seep into the paint canvas. It scared me me a lot. How can you be sure this mixture will NOT affect the painting colours?? Explain to us, please.
And SOOOOO much filling!!! Made me really anxious about retouching. How can one KNOW what the painter wanted, when so much of the original painting was obliterated??
Well, this was... a watch full of worries!
Scotch tape. Are you serious? No bueno.
Nice, but its still dirty
