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!
