    I have PTSD. I struggle nightly to relax enough to sleep and avoid nightmares when I do sleep. I am enthralled with your work, Julian. The editing of your videos are perfect; you know exactly when to slow it down, speed it up, do a close-up, etc. The ultimate pleasure is listening is your narration! Your explanation of the process along with your soothing voice is better than any meditation video. My brain melts into this fascinating process. If I fall asleep, I easily and happily rewind to continue to point where the content is new to me. This is NOT saying your videos are boring. In fact, the opposite is true. But when the grief from the suicides of my son & granddaughter overwhelms me, I find solace and comfort by letting your voice and videos bring me to a place of serenity. You cannot know what a salvation your work is to me. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your gift with us fortunate enough to have found you.

    Hey Julian! I can't explain how much help you have been in keeping my artwork safe and beautiful. Had a piece done on paper distort due to using too thin of a sheet, so i used heat, moisture, and pressure to fix it. Came out better than I ever could have hoped, and its one of my best pieces yet. You inspire me in so many ways, and the way that you help artists and collectors is absolutely amazing. Thank you for everything! ❤

    Bolzano is an interesting place. It is in the foothills of the Alps that separate Italy and Austria, on the Italian side. Until world war 2, the border was drawn below Bolzano, so it was an Austrian town. After the war, the border was redrawn at the watershed (the semi-imaginary line along the top of the mountains where water would flow down into Italy, or down into Austria) above Bolzano, leaving Bozano inside Italy. It is still very "Austrian" culturally, and both languages are spoken and reflected in street signs, food etc. It is also the museum home of "Otzi" the 5000-year old frozen man, found a couple of decades ago, preserved high in the alps above the town. His frozen remains are kind of the ultimate "death portrait", of himself :)

    LOL. When I was little, I had a friend in our neighborhood whose Dad was very curmudgeonly and unfriendly. One day he was doing woodworking in the garage and and a poor unsuspecting sales person came by and interrupted him. She sweetly asked him what he was making, and he solemnly said (and I swear this is the honest truth) “sawdust”. It has been a running punchline in our family for years. So when you said you were making sawdust I nearly laughed myself out of my chair.

Saw one on a museum/house restore in the UK and they focused on the frames and not the paintings themselves. So they have a museum full of beautiful frames with at least 500 years worth of European portraits and paintings that are dark brown with old varnish and dirt, and all I can think is what a waste of time and money.

While you on the contrary, you explain everything in very clear terms, telling "US" your viewers what you are doing and why it is done that way. It is very good or pleasing to "US" viewers, to see your amazing work, you are very much like an Artist making sure that what you are working on will be back to a state to almost pristine to the day it was created.

    Normally in the funeral painting in Italy, in particular for religious or nobility. In case of religious person, normally they sign with the original name and then the name chosen when they took the vote to Christ. Commonly in the old period nun, monk or priest where the third or second sun or doughier of a nobility’s. Sorry for my English. Love your video. ❤😊

    Your French is good, i was wondering which part of Switzerland your family was from, I guess i got my answer! You are so privileged to have a right to swiss citizenship. I'll never be so lucky, even tho my favorite place in the world is a tiny place called Villars sur Ollon ❤

    I watched another conservator and knew she was using mulberry paper to hold the paint chips to the canvas. The education we receive here is amazing

    Love watching your work,its so rewarding. Do you enjoy working quietly and peacefully by yourself? Its exactly the way I like to work (and spend time on my hobbies).Its distraction free and produces a much better end result...

    As ever, completely engrossing and totally fascinating (note to self: must try to come up with some new adjectives when commenting on Julian’s amazing abilities). Seeing the client was a real bonus, I am often *so* curious about the owners of these works of art. Now all I need is a modicum of Julian’s patience to keep me going until part 2!

    I most enjoyed hearing, and found fascinating the research and history from your client, that he has already done on the painting. I do hope he can find the birth date of the subject, so the age of the person can be reestablished into the painting.
