- We take you behind the scenes to get a glimpse of the painstaking work that goes into the conservation of the paintings in the National Trust's care at Nostell Priory.
We follow the paintings as they are taken down from the Billiard Room and transported to the conservator's studio. We see some of the processes involved in cleaning, repairing and applying new paint to bring the paintings and their frames back to life.
A total of five paintings were included in this round of conservation but the video mainly focuses on:
Dr Charles Trimnell - Circle of Michael Dahl, 18th century, oil on canvas.
Portrait of Edward Henshaw - Circle of Jonathan Richardson the Elder, 18th century, oil on canvas.
Techniques covered include:
Removal of surface dirt
Consolidation of the paint and ground layer
Repair of front fold canvas splits
Cleaning of the reverse
Varnish and over-paint removal
Moisture treatment of distortions
Reversal of old tear repairs
Tear repair
Filling, retouching and varnishing

My cup of tea. I would enjoy nothing more than sitting there for hours making sure everything was perfect. Dream job.
Razster agreed.. sounds like it would give me the ultimate sense of peace
Advanced knowledge of Chemistry is required in this line of work.
Keep your balls out of Benedict’s tea
That heated spatula is everything!!!!
I remember seeing the pre-restored paintings at Nostell Priory. An amazing transformation, particularly the second painting where all of that detail has been revealed.
As a National Trust volunteer and staff member and avid fan of Baumgartner, this is my dream.
love the beef ore and after shots. Amazing!! Thanks
This was a really beautiful conservation/restoration.
Exellent job. I have so many paintings in need to restoration. Frames and all....
Such fantastic work you do
Great video!
love your detail (:
Y'all would make wonderful surgeons.
completely different things
Cool! Love this kind of conservation stuff. Good that you showed the before and after of the portraits. But what of the landscape? Would have been very interested in seeing that. Otherwise, very nice.
Fantastic ! Your work is wonderful! It's just lovely to watch your
videos. The art of restoration and conservation is a unique and divine talent, and
I expect to watch many of your videos. It's simply adorable! Congratulations ! It
is very beautiful to know that the preservation of art remains everywhere in
the world. Here in my country I also do this type of work, and my vídeos are also available at may Chanel.
Thank you !

Royal Frame,
Tyrian purpur color, red books, like Alexander von Humboldt ..cover as armor vest .. etc
How much does it cost to restore a painting with only yellowing varnish,any idea?
Good work, but not Baumgartner!
Vi Ma yessss I was looking for a comment like this I feel he is just the above all conservator
You're right, because Baumgartner has never mentioned texturing the fillings so that the surface perfectly matches the brushstrokes around the repair.
It’s so strange seeing them use filler before it’s cleaned lol... they did a great job but like...I couldn’t help but feel like some of it was out of order 😂
So who is Edward Henshaw?
kinda like the dark look that the old varnish gives, makes it look dimensional and moody
Looks like Brian May
Who wants to live forever? Brian May by the look of it...
You are so right.
Por-trayd or por-trit?
The guy in the painting looks like Brenden Fraser. 2:02
Thank you for taking care of things. I'd love to visit some day ʕ•́؈•̀ʔ
Well yeah, this means all these paintings are not the original paintings anymore 🤷♀️
At the museum I work. Almost all of the conservation team except for one individual is female. Paper, wood, textile, Stonework and Porcelain are woman. Only Animal-product conservationist is male. As I am learning more about conservation- I keep discovering this is an almost female dominated area currently. Especially paper, artwork, textiles. No idea why that trend exists. Research, Archeology and publication is much more male-staffed in my city's museums. But even the War-Museum's dress and ensign as well as war-art conservationist are women.
Women have a greater nurturing and caring instinct. Men need to fight a battle, be it creative, internal, external...whatever. And those are the extremes...everyone has a blend of these traits. Also, I suspect that the pay is not really enough to be a primary breadwinner. So the men that have these skills probably would do auto repair or something along those lines. Of course, dentists also have this skillset.
Interesting they kept the priory as part of the name, meaning that this was a property stolen from the Catholic Church then given to an aristocrat as payment for changing his religion. Many a conscience was bought to uphold the King's new religion.
Wtf, those girls seem so young
Adi Adrian she doesn’t contribute to whether or not they’re good at painting?
Adi Adrian She is a young Woman* yes, but she’s fantastic at her job.
Europeans have been superior craftsmen/women for many more centuries than Americans. Michelangelo sculpted the statue of David at 26.
I can hardly hear the more or les mumbled commentary over the goddam music.
