Why We Choose This And Not That; Restoring A Baroque Painting Part 1 AD FREE
🕑 Added 2020-10-08 23:31:48 +0000 UTCWhile it may seem obvious that each painting is in fact a unique object complete with idiosyncratic issues and limitations, the process of conservation must reflect this. At each stage of a conservation there are multiple materials that can be used, various techniques employed, and the opportunity to deviate from otherwise rote norms to achieve a successful outcome. Often the question is asked "why this and not that" as sometimes the process can appear formulaic.
For this video as the conservation unfolds, the choices available to the conservator are explored and the rational given for why this choice was made and not that.

I would absolutely love to know, please, what the piece of music in this video is that starts playing (around 19:30 in the version on YouTube with the ads) over where the clouds are being retouched. I joined Julian’s Patreon just for finding out this information. LOL!
