  Its so crazy to think that a piece of art that the creator may have thought wouldn't last long after their death has managed to survive this long and is cared for so deeply.

  Some time in the future, a restorer might say, "Notice the previous conservation attempts on this painting showcasing a lack of quality. Fortunately, this artwork is now in our capable hands."

  It is so refreshing to watch someone work so slowly and deliberately. There was no rush to finish, and the process itself seemed to be enjoyed by the restorer. Lovely!

  I am a retired surgeon. When training I learnt my craft from watching many other surgeons. I took up what I considered best practice. Some techniques from here some from there. This video was just an an example of one approach. The primary consideration like with reconstructive surgery is to do no harm and think of the next time the tissues may need treatment. It is the same with Picture restoration.

  My favourite part of the narration is when he appreciates the work of other people who tried to restofre that painting

  What I dont understand is why she didn't clean the painting or remove the old varnish. The painting looks so dark and to retouch a dirty painting doesn't seem right.

  I believe that Georg Flegel would be quite honored to know, the level care and attention his painting was receiving, over 200 years later.

  It’s so nice to take a break from TikTok and just sit back and watch a master at work. No flashing lights or blaring sound; just talent, skill, patience and a meticulous effort to restore a beautiful piece of history. Awesome video!
