OPEN POST: Hosted By The Restoration Of A Masterpiece

From thisiscolossal.com: "Julian Baumgartner, of Baumgartner Fine Art Restoration in Chicago, condenses over 40 hours of delicate swiping, scraping, and paint retouching into a 11.5 minute narrated video..."

Everything about this is fascinating, the devotion and talent art restorers have, and the beauty they save for the whole world to see. It's a field that's always interested me, and it seems so much more sophisticated and scientific now than the restorations I used to read about when I was younger. I hope you enjoy the video (his voice is so relaxing) and you can read the article here: Watch a Conservator Delicately Remove Murky Varnish and a Warped Wooden Panel From an Aging Painting — Colossal

Happy Wednesday Open Post, everyone!
