Discover the scientific process art conservators use to restore centuries-old paintings and fix the damage of past restorations. Prior to the mid-20th century, art restorers took a heavy-handed approach, often drastically altering paintings in the name of improving art. Today, they focus on keeping the original work intact with minimal intervention, and must regularly contend with past modifications. So, how is damaged artwork repaired? Noah Charney explains the painstaking process of restoring priceless artifacts.

But were they ruined though? They may not have been the artists original, but we re still art. The restorations erase the changes over time, which looses the art they became, to try and reach something that can t be perfectly restored.
Or in other words, why try and rebuild the Ship of Theseus to its original specifications when you already have a ship made more interesting by its history of change.

Like other people, viewers of this video who enjoyed it would 100% enjoy watching videos from Baumgartner Restorations, the guy shows how to fix all sorts of stuff, makes sure completly that the painting is preserved as close to original as possible while still making it look presentable, uses almost everything completly reserable just in case, he's amazing
And is voice-over is SOOO calming

Wait a sec. besides simply removing additions to the originals, how is this generations additions to fix previous errors different if they are still modifying them, namely replacing the excised bits from Rembrandt even though the original edges are lost? Am I missing something?

Can I spot what's wrong with those paintings?
Maybe that they aren't paint, but images made with Red, Yellow, and Blue lights of different saturations that my eye blends together to make different hues from the device screen?
Just a guess. ;)

I have a colleague who specializes the conservation and restoration of old audio recordings. They use something similar to an electron microscope to digitize them and use ai to assist in fixing damaged sections

recalled watching the video by carnegie museum of art about the restoration of the first painting depicting isabella, that was fantastic and very informative as well. you should check that out if you haven't done so.

Thankfully, the very next restoration of The Night Watch will almost certainly get rid of those AI generated pseudo-Rembrandt extensions the last restorers somehow thought were necessary.

I remember the story of the first one, so I knew that one, and the third one I knew about the varnish issue, but I never knew about the second one!
