Waldemar you are the man! Thank you in all you do to encourage awareness of William Dobson and the well being of his work. I am sure the great man himself is grateful from where he is looking now 👍
@@asyoz If everything is properly dried through, which is absolutely the case with a several hundred years old painting and the used restauration paints, nothing will mold. Especially not with oil based colours, as mould needs water to grow. One of the most famous examples for an oil painting behind glass is the Mona Lisa, who is secured behind security glass. That was a reaction to an acid attack several years ago. So, unfortunately paintings have to fear worse fates than grabby grabby fingers. Or rather the museum curators and the restoration staff. :)
Very true, I agree about your comment that mould needs water to grow. I guess I'm in Australia and have been in Brisbane most of the last 20 years where EVERYTHING is ALWAYS wet... lol I admit that I'd forgotten that in other regions (such as Europe) things actually get to dry out! :) Humidity of 40% in winter and 90% in summer means everything's always damp, and if you tried to put something under glass there's almost no doubt you'd get humidity trapped under the glass if you're not very careful. I've seen really good framers actually include those little humidity sachets in the frame under the glass, but not visable. It absolutely astounds me that someone would attack a painting, whether new or old, priceless or not. I honestly think someone would have to be psychiatrically challenged to do such a thing. Even if you don't like it, just leave it the fuck alone!

Good to hear an appropriate choice of music from that great civil war composer, William Lawes.
Such an underrated artist.
Very good video!!!!!
There should be a before and after comparison
grandeeee
Painstaking delicate work.
Is there a reason she worked on the painting while still framed?
From the dialog: “structurally there weren’t any real issues with this painting”.
Stuart Schaffner thank you very much.
Why the glass. Glass hides the texture of the painting.
The glass is an absolutly No go. I've never seen this before. And why the plywood at the backside 🤔 There is no reason to do that.
well done!
the frame seems more dirty than the painting
I'm confused...
Isn't this an oil painting?
If so... Why was it framed under glass?
It's sometimes done in gallery or museum settings, to prevent damage from grabby, grabby fingers of the visitors.
True, but I thought it wasn't good for oil to be under glass because it sweats and can grow mould/fungus.
Damn those grabby, grabby fingers!!! >:(

Is it just me or does that portrait look a little bit like John Lennon? I see it most in the shape of the nose
composition looks like he's about to be blown by the statue
I dated him.
Really poor lighting which results in a very dissatisfactory video.
