Microscopically reweaving a 1907 painting | CONSERVATION STORIES

[@nicklewis470]

I wonder how the original artist would feel knowing that someone is painstakingly preserving their art...

[@negritorican]

Its the worse when they dont show before and after side by side shots :(

[@spiderprint]

If you play this backwards it becomes a short documentary on a woman's very meticulous revenge on early 20th century art.

[@Zero-vu7zu]

First time running into someone that's that's not Baumgartner Restoration. This is interesting

[@jennfurr]

Very nicely done, but would have been happier with a longer video, showing more of the actual restoration technique, and closeups of before and after, rather than showing just the entire painting.

[@meatballg8655]

Good to see tacks being used, far superior to staples, though no Belgian linen applied

[@Carlos-fz4md]

Paula knew that tacks are superior to staples!!!

[@Desi-qw9fc]

She's rightfully proud of that linen-on-needle technique, must have been a real bear to get that working!

[@manapond4263]

"They did surgery on a painting"

[@lincolnpharmaceuticals9146]

I am now convinced she originally painted herself in a halo.

[@blastingoff]

This woman could repair my broken heart.

[@milloey]

It's interesting to see how others do restorations because I am so used to seeing Baumgartner's techniques that I find it quite weird to be watching someone other than him. This video was really interesting though, I'm glad I decided to watch it, subscribed👍

[@bunnichuktube]

I am sincerely crying right now imagining her baby growing up and studying this painting of their mother. What we leave behind; the wonderful and terrible permanence of things. Thank you for treating this painting with care and grace.

[@driesketels]

Just amazing how she fixes and restores that painting. I wish someone could restore my relationship like that :)

[@bebop54]

lol....witty....

[@noelgarland3068]

dream job right there

[@embelkowitz]

If this was my job there would be a fist sized hole in the painting after 5 minutes of doing this. She is unbelievably calm

[@tooplepsy3930]

If they had used Belgian linen this wouldve never happened!!!

[@rhijulbec1]

Conservationists have the patience of four thousand me's, lol. I'm so very, very not patient. I love sewing, knitting, buliding things and DYI but have so little patience for what I call finishing. Like hand sewing intricate doo dads on a special dress or that fussy last bit of a completed sweater etc. I just hate it. I do it for sure but I'm not having fun! Her calm demeanor and steady hands help a lot I'm sure. The artist's story is so sad. But at that time it was frightfully common for women to die before, during or after childbirth. I'm amazed we managed to survive as a species, given how dangerous having children was until recent history. As a nurse (40+ years ret) I've seen it three times. And all were due to uterine rupture during childbirth, something that cannot be prediagnosed and is often fatal.

[@CybranM]

7:49 spending all that time meticulously repairing the painting and then just taping the side? Seems a bit weird

[@joemama-ow4do]

bruh imagine messing these up you would have to flee the country

[@insomb]

I really admire the focus and detail that goes into this work, it's as admirable as the paintings.

[@toriam15]

Wow, what unique and specialized skills she has.

[@racquelcastilla3322]

She is what you call an ART SURGEON

[@gibbyace5077]

She Sounds super chill

[@conallmccauley2166]

Even though this isn't directly art, there is definitely something unbelievably creative about her process of conservation

[@Monstervolging]

I give props to anyone who restores paintings. The amount of patience you need to have for this job is overwhelming.

[@jhuztein1125]

I love this. All my working life I have been used to instant demands and deadlines and never was able to just have the time to do really good quality work.

[@itsVauld]

No one: Microscope Weave Girl: "We have a full fridge of bladders" *tehee*

[@RedShoes29]

Sis really used techniques in EYE SURGERY just to fix linen, damn. That's A plus problem solving work. Bravo!

[@notesl5576]

The classical music in the backround sounds like the theme of Howl's Moving Castle.

[@brandonbui8728]

this is almost as satisfying as that toy story scene

[@zoed1211]

See you all in 15 years when the KZbin algorithm unites us all again.

[@The_A_Cast]

My great-grandmother was born in 1907. Passed away in 2006. Such a long, lovely and amazing life! RIP Granny ❤️

[@callaywhaanga7071]

Very beautifully done not only the painting but the restorer also done a beautiful job

[@mainecoon5459]

I love how they have respect to the art, and how she appreciate the art itself :))

[@sunlitshoto4952]

This reminds me of the scene in toy story 2

[@Hannah-ig7th]

My jaw dropped when she said it was on its original stretcher with the original tacks. So cool 😍😍

[@christinelavallee57]

Beautiful conservation work! Heartbroken by the story of the artist. Another commenter said it, but I bet it was a halo, that ring underneath the finished project. Sadly, also premonitory.

[@eror57]

Would've loved to see a before and after of the work done, but still amazing an amazing job

[@commonpoppy]

So much respect for this job

[@lonbub6832]

I’ve watched this many times over the years. This woman is a BOSS! So impressive! 🤩😎

[@lynnblack6493]

Such patience and attention to small detail! Lovely job in the end.

[@carolabruzzo4935]

I love this and I am so enthralled by the intricate restoration you do.

[@tianzining]

I felt her hand is just dancing on the canvas, so beautiful job!

[@adraedin]

"We have a whole fridge full of bladders... so.. tehe" lol

[@CynymonGirl]

Fascinating behind the scenes look. Thank you.

[@da96103]

6:06 When you lost one piece of the 1000 piece puzzle, make your own one.

[@theadoresmith2777]

Astounding delicacy. Bravo on your work!

[@Gucciblackberry]

Beautiful story, beautiful work!! Thank uuu

[@beautifulrecovery2337]

This was honestly the most satisfying thing. Start to finish for real.

[@adgonzr]

The x-ray is mesmerizing! so much history!

[@markieross9449]

"We have a whole fridge full of bladders, so" *and just when I thought I've heard it all*

[@mch12311969]

Fascinating to see how it is done, also there is something about Ms Hartman that I find endearing.

[@Fraupy04]

The amount of joy I would get from doing this is unbelievable

[@knaguar]

Hi MoMA, Ophthalmologist here, you can try acquiring ophthalmic suture forceps and needle holder (if you haven't done so already) they would make this work much easier as you can achieve much better suture control with those instruments!

[@normanmerrill1241]

I am so impressed with the delicacy and improvisation …the detail…you and you are so charming and beautiful…be safe…

[@X56th_SFS]

I could watch her work forever.....

[@madeofglitterr]

i love conservation videos 🗣

[@ladom6315]

This is patience at its finest.

[@nobodycj5037]

Her voice is absolutely mesmerizing

[@jessicab2202]

How absolutely fascinating! I loved this!

[@Calgary27]

Congratulations on a job well done by a consummate professional - thank you for your clear explanations for you lay audience

[@memeking7907]

She’s a viable eye surgeon in my book

[@TopRPDRvideos]

Wonderful! More videos like this please, even more detailed in the procedure. I could watch weaving on an old canvas for a full hour and still be left wanting more!

[@catherine6306]

Oh wow. You have a lot of talent and I'm impressed with how patient you are! :D

[@karenannoyed153]

If this was a channel of repair and painting us by a thread and needle I would watch it!

[@ihartman7028]

Thank you so much for this awesome videos, I learned so much please keep making them ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ErinLady85]

What an honour, she was a remarkable artist I would kill to have one of her paintings 😍

[@billykobilca6321]

I absolutely have a love for this type of stretcher, the tacks on the side the simplicity of wood... Something about it.

[@jazminyz]

Needs to do my homework because I’m behind Me: ThIs Is MoRe ImPoRtAnT

[@animeage7684]

Hands up to painting surgey👍

[@toolshed0513]

Am I the only person with an absolute crush on the woman restoring this art piece?

[@tomato613]

Will hentai art be treated this way 2 centuries later

[@benb2399]

Anyone thinking she should be provided way more sophisticated tools: Welcome to the Art World

[@MicaRayan]

I like this job...it's noble !

[@kristian3466]

I'm struck by the candidness of the photo of the artist with her new-born baby at 00:29. People often look so stiff and formal on old photos, and that quality itself makes those photos look old. But here, she seems so relaxed and casual that it makes the photo look almost contemporary. I find it hard to believe that this is a moment from 115 years ago...

[@chriswitt2596]

What a lovely beautiful talented lady.

[@X56th_SFS]

What an intriguing woman, I am smitten.

[@CookieMonstarize]

That X-ray is crazy 🤯

[@maddoxbruce4621]

I love her hair so much.

[@grcfrank]

Truthfully enjoy these stories!

[@raceface_m2579]

Wonderfully done!

[@sandEffect]

This woman is impressive. She talks about sturgeon bladders and eye surgery needles like nothing.

[@mmca9323]

This painting is very beautiful

[@KMCDM]

She is made for this!

[@slm5667]

I have an archaeology degree, an art history degree, and medical science degree but no art experience so no portfolio...but I wonder how good your technique needs to be to conserve different things.... anyway, this made me happy.

[@dario_2228]

Diana is a genius

[@simondaly1868]

Amazing work!

[@dulceele2967]

I'm on my second year of getting my art conservation and restoration degree and we have just learned how to do these shorts of procedures

[@charlesjmudd]

Wild 😀 .. Very impressive..

[@jordannoble8757]

Honestly looks like a struggle lol. I had to go through a micro solder school and I can tell u doing anything under a microscope can be so frustrating.

[@spookykidbunny]

fish glue is wonderfully weird stuff. i use it for fine cabinetry.

[@claudiaramosmonteiro]

This is brilliant

[@robydy2920]

She is pleasant to listen to

[@bebop54]

this was great ...thank you..

[@dayghost379]

I like it The way they r preserving art😍

[@ABusFullaJewz]

"we have a fridge full of bladders" Same.

[@juliag.1231]

I wish I had that patience...

What major in college to be able to work at the museum and do a job like her.
