Okay, that’s some awesome work and technique to be shown. But I have to admit that it’s sad to hear you talking from above about another „restorer“. Is it known when the first try happened? Did the one have the same technology and techniques available like you? Yes, the work wasn’t the best way to do, but MAYBE and this time, it was the best outcome possible?

Truly incredible work to bring this piece back from being completely destroyed. What an ingenious use of a print! What incredible retouching!

I love Poppy. She’s so cute

The jedi master and the jedi apprentice work side by side.

To the question in the first video, it was asked what reasons we watch these videos. I have 3 reasons!! His voice is calming & ASMR is how I’d describe how I feel. He doesn’t make conservation look or sound boring but informative and exciting. It’s also refreshing to see, hear and appreciate this behind the scenes world that most people have no idea about. I’ve been following for years now and the journey has been so rewarding and inspiring in my own life that what I myself have been through in my life has helped me find grounding, therapeutic and spiritual. In the end, I just love watching this instead of watching something that has no substance or meaning and isn’t what’s popular or flashy, loud! It’s just right!! 😉👍🏼🙏🏽🥰 Thank you

Oh no! The little spider lost its home. 😅

So beautiful

i was sad when i see the tears TT_TT

Amazing. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

I was wondering what your organic cleaning solution you mix in the studio is as I have a few paintings I need to clean 😵‍💫 and don’t want to go in with anything harmful 🫣

'Who wants to see hours of retouching? I know... all of you, but I don't'. I don't 😹 I always skip the retouching, (sorry Julian!) I could watch hours of cleaning and removing varnish though 😹

Am I the only one who thinks she has a weird jaw?

i wasn't even there and yet i was anxious the whole time

I think the highlights on her nose and eyelids are too intense. Still amazing though.

so I had this idea from the previous video, but it applies more here 12:50. so IF it was an original, and there wasn't sources... first I'd research the mythological scene this is clearly referencing. then I'd look at how other artists render that scene (if possible) then I'd take that information, combine it with the artist's style and go from there. now this CAN get tricky, say the scene is typically portrayed in a negative light from the female subject's perspective, but THIS artist wanted her to be more into it (for their own or their client's interpretation dealer's choice) but there might be clues in how the artist rendered SIMILAR scenes in other works that could be another building block

This reminds me of when you spent ages chipping polyurethane off a painting. You have the patience of a saint. What causes the fly specking?

I find your time lapses so soothing

Thank you so much for documenting the whole process, I learned so much and found it fascinating.

too much waffling

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can anyone please tell me what the name of the music that's playing around 19:20 when he's starting to paint? Thank you in advance!

The new tumbnails are odd

Utterly amazing

Wow that is one of the most gorgeous paintings I've ever seen.

Would using an entire facing panel on the entire back have been a solution?

I am so glad I have the second part available immediately. The upsides of being behind on your work! Mad respect!

While I appreciate your channel, Better help is a known fraud "service" that prays on vulnerable people. This has been addressed years ago here. They take no responsibility for the therapists to be therapists and the website clearly states they are not a substitute for actual therapy. Its a scam. I get the allure, their offer is pretty lucrative as far as I hear, but it is predatory as hell.

The painting when still dirty is giving London 1952. 😶‍🌫️

I'm baffled how this *copy* of a painting is worth putting dozens if not hundreds of hours of labor into. Art prices be crazy.

Is Papa Baumgartner still around? It would be awesome to see him reacting to your most challenging projects and talk a little about how things were back then without the technology we have :)

Something lost, something gained.

but why are the boobs painted over? is there nothing under the paint over the nipples? what?

ohhg my god. when he said "the face pops out" i was so scared he wasnt gonna like it like what if it doesnt blend in. but yeah this is amazing, the painting doesnt look retouched when you view it

Your transitions to the advertising are still my favorite! 😂😂😂

Absolutely breathtaking, amazing job! As always, it was a pure pleasure to watch the whole process <3

Thank you for this satisfying video

Another outstanding restoration. However, I think Julian missed a trick. The first reveal should have shown a digital version with George's face in the missing space!

I bet the future conservator will be in a hell of a surprise retouching this, it will be plot twist after plot twist LoL

thumbs up !!

What a tragic story behind such a beautiful face, what a beautiful piece of history and art. The restoration is as always masterful.

based thumbnail⚡️⚡️

This feels so fucking fake. The swallow and nodding. Pretend to care that much while doing an ad for a company you didn't care if it was good. Jesus it's almost creepy.

The face still looks crocked.

Incredible job. Truly amazing work.

Great work, but I wonder. Was there another women species back then? Many old paintings, and ancient sculptures: One breast on the chest...long walk in between the second one. Size of the mouth like the width of the nose. Hopefully they were able to eat.

One man's art is another man's not so much. Nice restoration but, the sculpture is not my cup of tea...

This was absolutely fascinating to watch the painted face come to life from the image behind.

This is the Poppy content we've been waiting for!!

What was the piano piece called?
