This painting is all that remains of a person that once was. An image to mark that she once existed. Restoring it isn't just a work of art in itself, its a tribute to our humanity and a gesture of deep respect.
I wish I had been an artist 300 years ago so that I, as a soul, could see my painting being restored with great care and passion like you did with this one!
It never ceases to amaze me how dirty some of these works get; it's incredibly satisfying watching the grime come away revealing the vibrant colors and original intent in what was painted. Also, I LOVE watching the hole disappear as he retouches the painting. It amazes me to no end; just, wow!
What a stunning restoration! This is my favorite period of fashion...France, late 18th century. The pouf adorning her hair is extraordinary and seeing it in such detail is a treat.
Thank you, Julian, for your Monday videos! When I see you repair an impossible canvas, it makes me feel encouraged to accomplish things in my own life. Thank you for being a perfect example of care for this one old woman viewer! 🎉💛
Fantastic work as usual. Bravo. That blue color hidden in the dress, the pinkish hue of her face and brightness of the lace all hidden by time. I can't help but look at this painting and have it transport me back to that period of humanity and it's simplicity and joy. How fresh the air must have been, how pure and innocent the people were, how happy and new of a time it was.
Just yesterday I was rewatching some of his videos... Thumbnails went from things like ✨"Secrets, sins and salvation" and "Finishing the unfinished"✨ to just "Yikes" 😂 Never change! We love and appreciate you so much
Julian: you can now see she is a happy lady. And how the lace and small flowers show through is just pure pleasure to look at. Beautifully done and so enjoyable to watch. Carol from California
I'm surprised at the gossamer, I was sure with that amount of damage it'd get one of the PET film interweaves. As for the cleaning, WOW. This is truly a case of one man's trash is another man's treasure. Someone saw this faded, filthy, battered garbage, and was smart enough to know what was really there. Excellent call, whoever the owner is. Final result is stunning, even the translucency of the fabric is perfectly painted.
AT Restoration yesterday and Baumgartner today - who could ask for anything more? Amazing that such a damaged and fragile painting can look so good after restoration.
Sir, When you're confident in your work that you put a raking light to it and challenge us to find the repairs, and there isn't any sign to be seen, that's someone that's at the top of their game. Awesome work, Sir.
Who is she, when did she live, where did she live, and who painted her. It’s nice watching you work, but without the history of the painting it feels kind of empty.
I suspect that most of these questions are unanswerable. I recently reviewed a photo album of my Grandparents' anniversary party in 1982. There are many pictures of unidentified people in attendance. All I can say about then is that they were presumably friends of my Grandparents; I do not know their names or anything else. Most of them are now long dead.
Perfect for an Autumnal Monday afternoon in Gloucestershire, Great Britain! Thank you, Julian. I always feel that I could perform these steps alongside you, as your mastery of the restoration techniques makes it seem so effortless. Don't worry, I will only admire paintings from after in galleries! :D
I just love the reveals... the magnificent original colors, as fresh as they were in the artists eyes. I'd love to see an example of Mr. Baumgartner's own original work (or would it be "play") as well.
Okay firstly, spectacular restoration work, my guy. My flabbers be gasted. Secondly, the artist's rendering of the sheerness of the fichu is *stunning*.
Scary that I now know every step in a painting restoration. I remember wondering, as the painting was being cleaned "I wonder if it will need a triple cleaning? Usually Julian will say it needs a dirt cleaning, then varnish removal then another grime clean because there may have been a newer layer of varnish placed over an uncleaned canvas. But Julian didn't actually say it had ever have any previous restoration.
I wish we could know a bit more about the history. When was it painted? Where? Who is the artist? Who is the subject? I'm fascinated by what the art can tell us about a time & location from the clothing, hair style, jewelry, make-up, etc.
Julian: *begins cleaning the painting* Me: aw, I really thought the dress was going to be whiter. Guess not. Julian: *starts making a second pass* Me: !!!
I love watching these videos, both relaxing and informative. I wonder if one day you could explain the difference between a stretcher and strainer, perhaps if you ever get a painting that needs to be swapped between them
Nothing I like better after a days work on the uninteresting stuff required by today’s world than a restoration. I know the form and after a couple of hundred watches I know the result will be magnificent…..so reassuring, so restful! So infinitely clever and always successful. Thank you indeed.
Middle of a dull dank afternoon in the south of England: I was getting bored and this was just what I needed. But oh Lordy, that hat! No wonder she looks rightly so self-satisfied. Did she get the hat for the painting or commission the painting for the hat?
Let me start by saying that I have seen every video you have put up. And every one has been a joy to watch. I don't post comments very often but I just have to say, that you have outdone yourself. Amazing work Julian 👍🏾🇬🇧💙 P.s My Granddaughter Ava-Jean also likes watching your videos 🦄🌈💙
What a beautiful piece of art after being conserved. We were quite shocked at the difference a quality cleaning made. The lace is amazing, it almost looks three dimensional. Do you know the name of this artist and the approximate age of the paintig? Thank You!
Would it correct to say that this painting had also been cut down, perhaps to fit a frame? It seems odd that the headdress in particular is right to the top and past the edge of the canvas.

Given that she was an 18th Century noblewoman who lived in France, one wonders what ultimately happened to her. 😬

Hi! Glad to see you here...
Waiting for your new playlist.😊

Watching this painting change to 3d during cleaning was amazing.

I was just about about to go to sleep dammit
Yeah, me too. 12:30 am in Oz.
@@dougcox3990 Another sleepy Australian here
It's the perfect video to fall asleep to tho
😂same here!
Me too but his voice is so soothing it'll help me sleep. I'm staying awake long enough to hear him say washi kozo
These big holes disappearing in close up is just magic. Truly magnificent.
the blue in the sleeve really popped during the reveal
The texture work on the retouching is insane
I pay for patron but still dont end up watching the vid till its posted here lol happy to support my adhd hyper focus for the last 4 years
Literally as perfectly timed for my bed time as possible, nothing more relaxing than a new baum vid
The opposite for me! What a treat when I'm first waking up :)
Ahh same just getting into bed and im so happy too see this ready for my sleep
I know we all like to imagine the artist over Julian's shoulder but can we imagine the sitters? "You made me beautiful again..."
The studio is haunted by all the subjects and artists of paintings restored by Julian's loving hands
Honestly one of the most stunning restorations in the channel's catalogue. The colors are so gorgeous after treatment, you would never have guessed.
We love you Julian!❤
Given Julian’s obvious enjoyment in tidying up the excess canvas to the back of the frame I bet he’s a demon at making beds
Another wonderful job. Always gratifying to see a painting that has been in the wars restored to its former glory.
Wow, it's amazing to see one of the survivors of the era of the French revolution. So much great art was lost.
You do her credit. Merci!!
Yay!!! a new video!! This just made my day. Thank you Julian!
Fantastic work as usual. Bravo. That blue color hidden in the dress, the pinkish hue of her face and brightness of the lace all hidden by time.

'Ah, great cleaning it looks so different already' I think before he makes another pass and takes EVEN MORE dirt off

Absolutely beautiful painting. Amazing work restoring this treasure.
Watching an expert at work, so satisfying..
“Grunk and grime”-I like it!
She is exquisite, wonderful job . Thank you .

You've made, once again, a wonderful job on this painting. She's absolutely stunning
Watching an expert in their craft is intensely satisfying. Thank you! ✌🏻🎨☕️
Beautiful restoration and a beautiful painting, the artist captured the sheerness of the lace chiffon shawl, amazing technique. ❤❤❤
Perfect for an Autumnal Monday afternoon in Gloucestershire, Great Britain! Thank you, Julian. I always feel that I could perform these steps alongside you, as your mastery of the restoration techniques makes it seem so effortless.

The person that threw that small figurine into this canvas is going to be so baffled, thinking there was no coming back from that.
I love how you can see how delicate the lace is after.
Such a lovely painting!
Of the entire process, i am by far the most into the cleaning of the painting :)
I just love the reveals... the magnificent original colors, as fresh as they were in the artists eyes. I'd love to see an example of Mr. Baumgartner's own original work (or would it be "play") as well.
Every story is just great!! It is good to know, that such people as mister baumgartner exist!! Many greetings from switzerland.
Another brilliant restoration!
Okay firstly, spectacular restoration work, my guy. My flabbers be gasted.
Secondly, the artist's rendering of the sheerness of the fichu is *stunning*.
Every video I think, this is my favorite. But this time, as a lover of late 18th century fashion, this really is my favorite. So beautiful.
And so she survived her massive unprompted tracheotomy. ✌👍
Oh, this gon' be GOOD!
That right pupil though!
I love how the details and expressions come to light after cleaning and retouching. ^^ Awesome work!
Outstanding! Brilliant work.
Debussy's Reverie. A fitting musical tribute to a kind and gentle lady.
0:33 omg! The lace is ‘magnifique’, even in this state!
Как же мне нравятся ваши ролики! Смотреть как рождается заново очередная картина!Вы замечательный мастер своего дела!
💙 I believe that the lady is pleased with your work. 🎉
This is one of the most revealing cleans you have given us to admire.
Thank you for the detailed beauty put to light. ❤
Fabulous job as usual! Thank you for letting me watch....😊
Man, I needed this today! Thanks, Julian.

Good afternoon Julian and Kit from Brighton Uk ❤
A new tool introduced at Baumgartner's: The Fingertip.
Even masters evolve from time to time :-)
I think a 10 minute compilation of all works done by you before/after would have a wonderful therapeutic effect
She emerges from the gloom into the light that is Julian. Perfect.
I love your exquisite taste for music, Julián, besides the visuals, and all the stuff.
No matter how many times I see you do it, I am always astounded by how you can make such damage just disappear.
It's about time for something new. I need more of your fantastic work ❤️ you in Michigan. Wishing you a wonderful day 🏵️
So wonderful thank you
I wish we could know a bit more about the history. When was it painted? Where? Who is the artist? Who is the subject? I'm fascinated by what the art can tell us about a time & location from the clothing, hair style, jewelry, make-up, etc.
Idk how you managed it, but right before i go to bed. Perfecto
Julian: *begins cleaning the painting*
Me: aw, I really thought the dress was going to be whiter. Guess not.
Julian: *starts making a second pass*
Me: !!!
The moment the lace appeared, and then the Fragonard blue silk sleeve...my jaw literally dropped.
La signora ritratta, dopo la pulitura, appare più giovane. Un lavoro eccellente.
Amazing.
I love watching these videos, both relaxing and informative. I wonder if one day you could explain the difference between a stretcher and strainer, perhaps if you ever get a painting that needs to be swapped between them
I’m feeling like a very lucky pioneer seeing one of your incredible restorative videos that has just been posted..I’m excited..
What a lovey way to start off my week! ❤

I love watching you patch and wow you gave me a doozy today! I get annoyed when there are more than one hole but you only video tape patching one 🤨😐
Middle of a dull dank afternoon in the south of England: I was getting bored and this was just what I needed. But oh Lordy, that hat! No wonder she looks rightly so self-satisfied. Did she get the hat for the painting or commission the painting for the hat?
Increíble trabajo
Here to say I am also about to head to bed and this is the perfect timing 😂
Magic!
Wow, she came out so bright and beautyful 😍
Amazing
What a beautiful piece of music to listen to when your hair is being shampooed ;-) She is beautiful.
I needed this today... :)
You are awesome!
Fantastic as usual. 1 question was the dark areas around her mouth in the original doesn't matter you are amazing
Amazing! ❤
When something is truly demure for once: this portrait.
Let me start by saying that I have seen every video you have put up. And every one has been a joy to watch.
I don't post comments very often but I just have to say, that you have outdone yourself. Amazing work Julian 👍🏾🇬🇧💙

Julian you always have the best shirts. I love your videos ❤
Remarkable ❤
The subject seemed to de-age about 10 years after the cleaning. Nice work.
It makes me wonder; when the next conservator works on this painting in 100 years will they have this video to reference or will it be lost in time.
Oh she's been through the wars literally and figuritively 😕
she seems smiling at the end, something that you couldn't see before
Would it correct to say that this painting had also been cut down, perhaps to fit a frame? It seems odd that the headdress in particular is right to the top and past the edge of the canvas.
that vertical panning shot at the end was too quick, had to look away to not be nauseated. great painting & restoration as always though
Are you the pianist, Julian? I wouldn't be surprised...
