Holy shit, this painting is actually from the area I live in. At 0:38 you can read "Bilde zu Landshut" which literally just translates to "painting to Landshut" which is a relatively small city in the south of Bavaria :)
Schwachsinn Actually it says "Ist anberührt am wunderthätigen Gnaden-Bilde zu Landshut (Bayern)" which means something like "Was touched by the miraculous image (of Mother Mary) of Landshut ( Bayern)". That was done to transfer something of the sacred aura of the miraculous image to the painting.

I’m not in this field at all, and this is only the second video of yours I’ve watched, but I have a great appreciation for the fact that your restoration efforts take great consideration of future restorers.
It takes someone with such high standards and morals to be able to be trusted with gorgeous works of art and refurbish them so that they can brighten the world as long as possible. I applaud you sir and thoroughly enjoy watching you work.
@@DavidGarcia-vu9mo LOL I (and I am guessing TheTenchii) do not work with tools on a regular basis. As a matter of fact, I use tools on a rare basis, and the ones I do use are pretty basic. lol So, ya know, it never really occurred to me to even think about it... **shrug**
Been watching this channel for a good 2 years now and coming back to this video you can really tell how much more comfortable julian is with narrating his videos, i just finished his latest video today and i love how much fun he had with narrating it and havning fun with "talking to his past self" vs how he used to be in these videos where he sounds a little nervous and more business like. Im really happy he has grown more comfortable with his narration skills
Omg. I’ve torn through all the recent videos and am dipping into the older stuff and it’s just so funny. He’s comparatively going so fast and he doesn’t have his podcast narrator voice yet. All said in love, Julian! Please don’t delete your old videos or anything. It’s still fascinating and I love seeing it, the change is just funny. And honestly very impressive, you perfected yet another skill (narration and video editing) in such a short amount of time.
I could watch this all day. Your voice is so calming and the way you do things is so satisfying. You have a very amazing job, thank you for uploading videos :)
Again, another gorgeous work of art restored back to its former glory. I’m completely taken back by how everything, down to the tiniest of detail is explained and performed! Absolutely flawless and beautifully done!
These videos are so informative and give us an idea of what your job is like. Not to mention, I like the narration you've been doing lately. These videos help me chill after a long day. Thanks for the content!
I'm here revisiting older videos and you have come a "great" way. Better intro, Different delivery of information, just awesome 👏🏽. I've rewatched a bunch of these! My fav is Ave Maria. Love that video(s).
I've seen this restoration before without the commentary, and you do very beatutiful work. I'm very excited by the commentary over the top. it really adds to the art of what you're doing here. Thanks for sharing this!
Wow, what a difference, watching this older video, your current ones are much more peaceful and serene and better done, so that's great work, learning how to do videos and finding a style as well.... the restoration, however, is amazing, of course, and the content is interesting... :)
I really love the way that he has started to relax in his new videos, taking it slow and making it an experience. In this video he sounds like, he's trying to say everything at once to not waste the viewers time, even though these old videos feels a lot more chaotic, you can still see the love and attention he gives to his work and the paintings. You sir warm my wannabe artist heart.
His job is not editorializing. I wish professional historians had the same principle. Also, I hope this painting survives another 100 years. So much art has been lost thru warfare and cultural re-imagining. (For example, the radical Protestants destroyed so much iconography during the Reformation.)
Howard Wiggins most historians have moved well past the antiquated views you describe here. but I do agree, it is awful how art and history is treated even now, daesh and palmyra spring to mind :(
While I've enjoyed your videos since the beginning, I adore your latest videos. This becomes more apparent when I watch older ones. The sound quality is so soothing and the length makes it absolutely perfect. I often put on one of your videos to easily fall asleep in the evening.
I love these videos , just so satisfying watching such a skilled person at work , but in this voice over don't you think he sounds just a little annoyed , maybe a bad day , still an amazing skill set and a pleasure to see, I hope his day got better
Watching this video after spending all of 2020 watching his more recent works: "Well, I guess we all have to start somewhere." (P.S. Actually, it was reassuring, and is giving me confidence to just start something new even if it's not going to be as well done as my later creations).
I love these videos.The inscription "MONSTRA TE ESSE MATREM" ("Show thyself to be a mother") is the first line of the fourth stanza of the Latin hymn "Ave Maris Stella" ("Hail, Star of the Sea"). Also for those who missed it, the inscription painted on the back of the canvas has the location "Bayern" (Bavaria) and the year 1863.
I enjoy your restorations - all of them! - immensely. I was a bit surprised to hear you say that the work was "tedious" occasionally. I might have expected "meditative." No matter; your videos are a great pleasure! Thank you.
When I glanced on the thumbnail I was like "Lmao Mary narrated a restoration smh" but then I looked at the title for two more seconds and I was like "oh."
Honestly your narrated versions of videos are extremely interesting and helpful (even though I have no hint about art restoration). It really shows how much effort is put into making the painting look as it did when it was first painted. Please make more of these narrated versions. I first started to watch these for a passage of time but now I wait for you to upload a new video

Restoration and Renovation are two REALLY recent movements. So.. Way less than you think
It was common for works to be "improved" upon by conservators. Conservators today call these improvements botched and they have to fix the damage.
Wow this video is so old he didn’t even mention the isolation layer and he barely showed the varnish being removed. And his voice overs have gotten so much better!!
I had no idea you used a type of paint/medium that is easily removed without damaging the artwork. that makes everything a lot less anxiety-inducing.

I’m not in this field at all, and this is only the second video of yours I’ve watched, but I have a great appreciation for the fact that your restoration efforts take great consideration of future restorers.
You're restoration workmanship is flawless. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talents. ♥️
It takes someone with such high standards and morals to be able to be trusted with gorgeous works of art and refurbish them so that they can brighten the world as long as possible. I applaud you sir and thoroughly enjoy watching you work.
That thing looks like shit
You have no appreciation for what true beauty is and that s something you'll have to work on.
I want Julian to come to my house to organize all of my cupboards. The man is outstanding!
That's a pretty nifty hammer!
I was today years old when I found out there is a magnetic hammer ....
As was I. lol v_v
@@DavidGarcia-vu9mo LOL I (and I am guessing TheTenchii) do not work with tools on a regular basis. As a matter of fact, I use tools on a rare basis, and the ones I do use are pretty basic. lol So, ya know, it never really occurred to me to even think about it... **shrug**
Even carpenters use large hammers with magnetic nail starter features. It frees up a hand, and sometimes can be used to nail something out of reach.
You're still stuck in the stone age, i think they invented handheld machines that shoot nails so you don't have to hammer or wear your muscles out.
I own a magnetic screwdriver and even I didn't know they had those
Been watching this channel for a good 2 years now and coming back to this video you can really tell how much more comfortable julian is with narrating his videos, i just finished his latest video today and i love how much fun he had with narrating it and havning fun with "talking to his past self" vs how he used to be in these videos where he sounds a little nervous and more business like. Im really happy he has grown more comfortable with his narration skills
Omg. I’ve torn through all the recent videos and am dipping into the older stuff and it’s just so funny. He’s comparatively going so fast and he doesn’t have his podcast narrator voice yet.
All said in love, Julian! Please don’t delete your old videos or anything. It’s still fascinating and I love seeing it, the change is just funny. And honestly very impressive, you perfected yet another skill (narration and video editing) in such a short amount of time.
People: "There will never be another Bob Ross..."
Julian Baumgartner: "Hold my beer."
He’s the Bob Ross of Art restoration
@@lalalama2355 tbh! 😂👏
Hold my paint*
Lala Sparkle it could be Belgian linen
A sassy Bob Ross at that!
Mother Mary comes to me,
Speaking words of wisdom,
Let it be......
And in my hour of darkness, she is standing right in front of me
Mother Mary ain't white
LeT iT bE
Letter B letter C! Letter E oh Letter D! Speaking Words of wisdom, letter B.
The song refers to Paul McCartney's mother 'Mary' who came to him in a dream.
It's so refreshing to listen to Julian speak with his normal voice. I prefer this before the narrative voiceover.
He really sounds like he’s in a rush haha
At least compared to all his long videos
I could watch this all day. Your voice is so calming and the way you do things is so satisfying. You have a very amazing job, thank you for uploading videos :)
Would like to see your personal art. I'd like to see what you create yourself.
That's exactly what I was thinking!!
Corey Langeslay just becuase he can fix a painting doesn't automaticly mean that he can make his own painting though
@@Rosia4309 of he can mix the right hue and knows so much about painting he has probs painted a bit
"This is my studio, so I get to decide on the rules" I could HEAR your smile and it was so wholesome to me
Again, another gorgeous work of art restored back to its former glory. I’m completely taken back by how everything, down to the tiniest of detail is explained and performed! Absolutely flawless and beautifully done!
These videos are so informative and give us an idea of what your job is like. Not to mention, I like the narration you've been doing lately. These videos help me chill after a long day. Thanks for the content!
She's beautiful.Marvelous restoration work.Fascinating to watch.
I wish this was an actual show it's so interesting and relaxing to watch such a skilled artist bring a piece back to life
Watching restoration videos like this are so so satisfying
I'm here revisiting older videos and you have come a "great" way. Better intro, Different delivery of information, just awesome 👏🏽. I've rewatched a bunch of these! My fav is Ave Maria. Love that video(s).
Your channel has the REAL satisfying videos not cutting soap ones. I adore your work! ❤️
Wow, re-watching after a few years. You’ve come a long way in your filming, your audio, and your production values. We’ll done.
This painting is actually REALLY beautiful! Good job!
I've seen this restoration before without the commentary, and you do very beatutiful work. I'm very excited by the commentary over the top. it really adds to the art of what you're doing here. Thanks for sharing this!
It's so strange to see how far his channel has come.......all thanks to skill share!
*perfectly placed announcement starts playing*
Wow, the style of the videos has really changed in the past year. He has learned so much. The production value is so much better in his new videos.
Wow, what a difference, watching this older video, your current ones are much more peaceful and serene and better done, so that's great work, learning how to do videos and finding a style as well.... the restoration, however, is amazing, of course, and the content is interesting... :)
i’ve been watching more recent episodes and seeing the older ones is weird but also kinda cool to see Julians evolution?
I really love the way that he has started to relax in his new videos, taking it slow and making it an experience.
In this video he sounds like, he's trying to say everything at once to not waste the viewers time, even though these old videos feels a lot more chaotic, you can still see the love and attention he gives to his work and the paintings.
You sir warm my wannabe artist heart.
His job is not editorializing. I wish professional historians had the same principle.
Also, I hope this painting survives another 100 years. So much art has been lost thru warfare and cultural re-imagining.
(For example, the radical Protestants destroyed so much iconography during the Reformation.)
Howard Wiggins most historians have moved well past the antiquated views you describe here. but I do agree, it is awful how art and history is treated even now, daesh and palmyra spring to mind :(
I’m addicted I’ve been watching for 3 hours
While I've enjoyed your videos since the beginning, I adore your latest videos. This becomes more apparent when I watch older ones. The sound quality is so soothing and the length makes it absolutely perfect. I often put on one of your videos to easily fall asleep in the evening.
“Some people might disagree with me, but it’s my studio so I get to decide all the rules.”
Omg we love a savage queen
Aside of the master-work you've done on the painting, I admire the cleanliness of your studio.
Thanks for sharing !
I love these videos , just so satisfying watching such a skilled person at work , but in this voice over don't you think he sounds just a little annoyed , maybe a bad day , still an amazing skill set and a pleasure to see, I hope his day got better
Your videos literally calm my soul.
Bless you hands, this work is magical, perfect, and this my first time to watch anything like this and i am hooked now.
The variety of skills in which you have to be proficient for art restoration absolutely astounds me!
you should do a video on how you got into art conservation! and maybe tips for people who want to get into it
Goes to Home Depot...."can you match this color?"
As someone that is in LOVE with older artwork, I can't thank you enough for your work to save these masterpiece thank you.
I woulda hit it with a pressure washer
This
Woke
me too, get it extra clean you know
Hahaa😆
@Morgen Dufseth nah, you just need to throw it is the wash then it'll be all good
Watching this video after spending all of 2020 watching his more recent works: "Well, I guess we all have to start somewhere." (P.S. Actually, it was reassuring, and is giving me confidence to just start something new even if it's not going to be as well done as my later creations).
I love these videos.The inscription "MONSTRA TE ESSE MATREM" ("Show thyself to be a mother") is the first line of the fourth stanza of the Latin hymn "Ave Maris Stella" ("Hail, Star of the Sea"). Also for those who missed it, the inscription painted on the back of the canvas has the location "Bayern" (Bavaria) and the year 1863.
I enjoy your restorations - all of them! - immensely. I was a bit surprised to hear you say that the work was "tedious" occasionally. I might have expected "meditative." No matter; your videos are a great pleasure! Thank you.
Fantastic job. This sort of thing always fascinates me.
I’ve been sick all day in bed watching these videos and it’s actually helped me relax 😊
i dont know how tf i got here but this is interesting
same
I was thinking the same thing
When I glanced on the thumbnail I was like "Lmao Mary narrated a restoration smh" but then I looked at the title for two more seconds and I was like "oh."
Honestly your narrated versions of videos are extremely interesting and helpful (even though I have no hint about art restoration). It really shows how much effort is put into making the painting look as it did when it was first painted. Please make more of these narrated versions. I first started to watch these for a passage of time but now I wait for you to upload a new video
You can tell he makes good money, wearing a $50,000-70,000 watch.
Really 😨
Well that is well under what the cost of the actual painting he has retouched in this video so yea
Yea this job is highly paid since it’s not very common because not a lot of people like this job due to accidentally damaging the painting
Well yes this is a really important and hard job..well not so hard, but IMPORTANT
Lmao he sound like he’s exhausted like “so I’m doing .....” *sigh*
Nah, just trying to keep my voice even and not getting too excited...
The millennial "huff" fake indignation on skills they don't have and respect their never due hence the huff..
Larry Ballenger i don’t think that’s the case but okay
This shit takes extended concentration.

I found the boomer, boys. Have a field day with this one
