    Just to mention that there's probably an audio issue during the sequence starting at 21:50, the sound of the voice-over is too low (or the sound of the hammer too high) it prevents us (at least me, on headphones) from clearly hearing the words.

    Holy cow! There were houses in that painting… I’m watching this on my iPad, and I couldn’t even tell, on full screen, that there were houses there until he cleaned the painting, and they just popped out 😳

    That was an astouding transformation, thank you. I did miss the classical music soundtrack that sometimes plays during your cleaning. That would have been a lovely addition to such a triumphant cleaning. 😺

    I've always wondered how to clean this style of painting. I always thought most methods would either damage the paint, not be effective, of get stuck on ridges of paint and make it worse.

    This painting is a good example as to why I am a proponent in cleaning these paintings, because we get to see what the artist wanted us to see! Such a beautiful painting now! When the artist stepped away from her painting, I bet it looked just like this: bright and beautiful.

    17:00 Truth is, with this type of heat activated adhesive more is not better. You need to follow the manufacturer's instructions, especially regarding time and temperature. Too much of either will cause the adhesive breakdown and become inert (not sticky) and there's nothing you can do it bring it back. You have to start over.

    I keep thinking back to all the paintings I remember seeing in my life in the state of this one before being cleaned. Just seeing that difference kind of makes me sad of all the beautiful art i've missed out on because of lack of conservation.

    It's amazing that sometimes the conservation of a painting takes more work than painting it in the first place. I can't find words to describe how incredible your work is.

    Did he forget to add music to the cleaning section or did I miss some sort of explanation for it? Still beautiful to watch, but audibly different. I heard the constant squeaking noise and thought, that's unusual and then I thought, "there's normally beautiful music during this part, I wonder what happened".

    Like many of the commenters, we loved the look of this painting. It would be interesting if you linked to biographies of some of these artists when they are known. Doing some research this morning I discovered the artist and I attended the same high school and worked at the same university, I had no idea she was a local product of our community
