Inherited from a relative, this painting of Venice's Grand Canal arrived worse for wear with some glaringly obvious problems. There were however, a few surprises in store for us along the way to the Grand Reveal.
Note:
Yup, I forgot to include the footage of the back showing the windows that I spent so much time creating. 🤦♂️ I’ll post some photos to my instagram and video to the epilogue which will be up on my Patreon

Kitt giving eyes at the camera at 3:12 is hilarious!
Edit: and being playful again at the end! Haha
Yes!!! I came to the comments to see who saw it. So funny.
thank you for that!! :D :D
I had been wondering if Kit was still working there. Glad to see she is!
Made me think of the song "Them There Eyes" by Billie Holiday. 😊
Soooo... The question... Julian, and ... Kitt? 🤔🤫🤭🤗😘🥰 An announcement some day, perhaps? ☺
I've been missing seeing her!
Not only was this restoration amazing, Kitt's little 👀 at the camera sent me
Danny and his Grandma are going to be so happy with this! Tremendous work!
You absolutely nailed the sky. I think the artist would be glad that you saved their work.
P.S. HELLO, KITT!
I enjoy your comments (both prior to and after restoration) where you simply appreciate the painting before you. Sometimes you provide a few details about the subject or historical bits about the work. But mostly it's your sense of appreciation. That's what sets your work apart. It's not as much a problem to be solved, it's a work of art that needs loving care to return to a state where it can be enjoyed as it was meant to be.
I'm so happy to see Dan's(owner) journey with this wonderful painting. Marvelous job done on this restoration
Wait. Who is Dan?
8:14 "An adhesive impregnation" very nice
@@lizardasDan Avidan of the comedy band Ninja Sex Party and the let’s play channel Game Grumps is the person who sent in the painting to be restored, he posted about it on instagram! He said he was grateful for Julian’s work and he’s excited to show it to his grandmother!
@@lizardas He's the co owner of the painting alongside his lovely grandmother
@@lizardasDan Avidan from GameGrumps/Ninja Sex Party (lol)
Loved Kitt giving the eyes 😂😂
Check out 26:42 !
I was already watching your videos silently, but imagine my surprise when Dan Avidan announced at his Instagram about this video! I had to stop watching one of your older videos and go here! This is a collab nobody was expecting but love very much! Danny's Grandma was such an awesome artist and you restored it so flawlessly! I'm sure they're happy with how it turns out!
Edit: apparently Granny Sexbang isn't an artist, just a collector
Wait, Granny Sexbang painted these?! I thought they were just ones she owned
Listening to the instagram video, it sounds like this was a painting in his grandmother's collection (not one that she personally painted)-he mentions some of them being ~150 years old.
@@lysb that’s what I thought, I know granny is an old lady but not over 150
@@lysb for some reason, I understood it as Granny Sexbang painted this one. When he said "My grandma's painting" my brain immediately thought she was/is an artist. 😮 I listened to his video on my phone while also watching another Baumgartner video on my TV, so perhaps I may have missed the detail on the 150 years old thing.
Sexbang 😳
Julian;
I'm sure you know that the reason that you are receiving so many challenging projects is that you have demonstrated your ability to be successful so clearly in your TH-cam presentations. Absolutely the best advertising you could possibly do. You're also pretty good at slipping the sponsor ads in seamlessly.
Perhaps so many send him difficult work cause they hope the artwork they own may end up in a video, and they'll get to see the whole process of restauration, rather than just the final result!😉
Greatly enjoyed the video. Extraordinary restoration as we have come to expect, and Kit added a light note. Who of us hasn't mugged a little behind the teachers' back?
I love watching your videos for so many reasons, but one is that as an artist I have learned a lot about what to consider when I make a painting. I’ve been watching for years and have adjusted materials (for example I was taught to use dammar varnish in school, but I switched out of that because of the yellowing). Pretty much all modern canvas have staples, but as I start stretching my own canvas I will switch over to tacks. Sometimes it’s fun when I’m painting to think of the conservator in the future who may be working on it too, should I be so lucky as to have my work last that long and be that significant hahaha. It means a lot seeing the care that you put into what you do.
Eschew paints that contain zinc oxide (PW6), which causes flaking.
Dan and his grandmother are going to be so thrilled when they get to see this!
Julian - I have watched all your videos and I am becoming more inclined to believe you are a magician, and not just a conservator. To bring back that sky with that amount of damage is a work of art in itself.
I think I've seen all of your retouchings and this one by far is my favorite. It's really a thing of beauty. With only the bare minimum of retouching you were able to bring the artists work back to life.
Good to see Kitt again!
What i would find really interesting to see is how Julian actually goes about the testing to see which solvents are the best to use for the painting
Maybe he does this for his Patreon subscribers?
I wanna see this!
He has mentioned that he will keep the secret of his solvents to himself. Mainly to keep people from trying to be hobby conservators and doing more damage than good. Knowing people probably a wise precaution.
There is an older video where he talks about it! He uses a small section and starts with distilled water and works his way up the different solvents until he finds the one that is the least harsh that works well
I think of all of the restorations I've seen you do this one is my favorite. For you to have done so much work and put in so much effort for the finished restoration to leave no impression that you or anyone else but the original artist was ever there... just wow.
Thank you, Kit, for your levity at the end!
I was only watching because of the client but my jaw dropped at the results. You are a master of your craft my gosh!
After listening to you explain the limitations and difficulties of working with retouching paint as an unforgiving medium, I am all the more blown away by what you achieve, and have an even greater respect for the refined and near-perfect colour-matching and perceived blending that you are able to produce using years of trial, error and dedicated practice. This is one of the most amazing results I have seen, and I am sure the original artist would have been delighted by your recreation of these ethereal clouds. All the more for being cognicent of the intended shapes and strokes of the sky, instead of taking the less painstaking route of tentatively piecing together each complex dash and dot of colour.
Thank you for sharing your expertise with the world (and now too with Kit - whose humourous faces are most entertaining!). It is a delight to witness and proves that fine craftsmanship as a trade, in which the skilled worker has immense pride and takes care, still exists and is going strong with you and others at the helm!
Great work as usual. Another fantastic save !!
So, how is Kit doing? Has she reached the point of working on some of the easier projects independently? I'd be interested in seeing how she is progressing?
Yes! We want Kit! She needs to "pay" for that wink.
Danny and his grandma are going to love this when they see this. You did an amazing and excellent job 👏
Beautiful, beautiful restoration work. One would never know that this painting had been so damaged. I understand that's the desired effect, but your skill, especially in retouching, demonstrates your rare ability. As a lay person I am continually astonished at the quality of work that comes out of your studio.
Kitt is such a cutey! Excellent work restoring this piece Julian, the added effort did an excellent job of hiding those unforgiving cracks.
Wow! What a gorgeous result! Beautiful painting! At least this time the excessive over-painting was actually covering damage -- unlike that last one! Kit's antics in the background were pretty funny! 😂
So amazing to learn how much work the original painter put into the beautiful painting.
This is the fasted ive ever got here. Its gonna be a good one
Your expert understanding of chemistry and understanding of the medium and its chemical makeup, stability and and even it’s calculated level of age driven chemical and natural change is staggering… you are a rare master of your craft!
This is a beautiful painting. It's amazing to see it restored after all of the extensive damage that it had when it came it. Loved seeing Kitt making silly faces in the background. Hopefully we'll see her soon on another project. 👍🏾❤️
At 16:00 when you reveal the original painting it gave the whole painting a very peaceful happy feel unlike prior it felt sad and gloomy, such a great job. Just found your channel and started looking at your videos. Well done and thank you for restoring these amazing works.
Again, a wonderful job of bring this painting back to its beautiful glory.
I'd love to see the faces of Dan and his grandma when they see how this came out
i had no idea! when did he mention this?
@@kinocomix Apparently on his instagram, according to what other commenters are saying.
The client is going to be elated with this restoration. Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
I really love paintings of Venice. I am excited to see this restoration.
I found you videos last week and I can’t stop watching! You’re the hero of paintings!
Also, Kitt is hilarious 🤪
Your clouds turned out absolutely beautiful, they blend in perfectly with the rest of the painting
oh i LOVE this painting 🥹 so beautiful and an equally beautiful work you did julian!
Sooooo happy to see Kit. I was hoping she was still around!
After a long day at work, I come home to a relaxing restoration video. Then I am hit with an Eyebrow Photobomb that simply made my day! Oh, and all your hard work was as amazing as always, Julian!! 😎👍
i really love the analysis at the beginning with the circling of different areas of focus! it helps the untrained eye notice more of what you see as a conservator and it's very helpful!!
Julian: what a wonderful restoration. Another painting magically touch by you. What a difference. Carol from California
Julian, Julian, Julian I was in a bad head state. Then something wonderful happened I seen your newest video, and was instantly transported to the corner of peace & calmness. You did, as always, an awesome Restoration. Bravo!!!!! Kitt, was so cute with her little playfulness side.
The rare Kitt sighting. I saw the phone and was expecting a "send help" or "please help" on it. 🤣🤣 Keep up the great work.
Wow! I am always amazed at how you can match the different colors and make all the damages and losses just … disappear! I don’t have an artists eye, but I know a few people who do, so know that we all experience the world around us differently. And I thank goodness for that! I can recognize beauty when I see it and you sir create beauty!
Love the restoration for Granny Sexbang! Lovely work!
My daughter watches some of the restorations with me and thinks it’s magic. That fairies come down and make the painting look great again. This technically make Julian a magician.
Another win for the painting. The way those colors popped after cleaning, it's hard to believe it's the same painting that came in.
I just come here to see how he cleverly segues into the Squarespace info. He takes that job almost as serious as his restoration job. LOVE IT!!
Julian Baumgartner could even restore American democracy
I'm sure it's being held together with rabbit skin glue 🤔 should be an easy fix 🤞
I dunno. The Constitution has been overpainted so many times that the original is hard to recognize. Even Julian would have a hard time replacing the pieces that have been chipped off.
Not sure if this makes me laugh or cry. And I’m not even American.
Oh, nothing like a political comment in the middle of the comment section of a completely unrelated video. Always draws a crowd.
Let me throw my 2 cents in while we're here:
The US Constitution is a living and breathing document. That's how the founders intended it. What you refer to as "overpaint" is merely the natural growth during its lifetime. It is not a static art object but a living avatar of the American psyche.
The American people ARE the government. It is not separate from us, it is us. Whereupon hatred of the American government is hatred of the American people.
Democracy functions best when the most citizens possible actively engage in its governance. It weakens and devolves into fascism when people give in to fear and irrationality.
@@Lethgar_Smith Hear! Hear!
I SO appreciate your side-by-side with the old retouching versus your retouching under the UV light. What an amazing project!!
You are a beautiful person, an artist and a creator, who could want more.
That makes life so rich,
If only the world had more people like you in it.
Enjoyed every minute of your narration.
God bless
Namaste
Been wondering about Kitt thru the last several videos. Good to see her at the end!
Dear Sir, I can only applaud your magnificent work. 👏 Bravo 👏
I have just discovered this channel and have been binge-watching. I feel as if I have learned so much. I really appreciate the way Julian keeps his focus on the customer by discussing and validating his approach. This is also evident in other videos, even when I get the feeling that Julian might prefer something different. This is true professionalism. Also, I have begun to appreciate the difference between restoration to the original painting, restoration to the status of the painting after a previous restoration, and doing what is needed to prevent the need for future restoration, while still allowing for that future restoration to occur. I also like the discussions about using modern materials where they make sense. Plus, these videos are just delightful to watch. Even the ones without Kitt in the background.
A very well done restauration indeed of this beautiful painting. The sky is "perfect" in my humble opinion. I love the blue tones in in the top of the sky.
Stunning work. The painting was stunning right after cleaning..that says so much about the artist.
Oh my word!!! Another masterpiece of conservation and Kitt shenanigans too - how awesome is that!! Thank you Mr. Baumgartner! Thank you for Kitt's fun too! 🤗♥️🤗
KITT!! Glad to see her still around
the retouching is absolutely incredible!!! 🎨💨🌷🌱
Omg Kit's bloopers at the end are amazing!
DANYMMMMM this before and after may just have to be one of my favorites
26:46 KITT 😂 Amazing and beautiful job as always, Dan. Thank you for letting us be a part of this process
That retouching was impressive! And shutout to kit, can't wait to see her again in the videos
Kitt is awesome! It's always enjoyable to watch your work and learn something new. I want to go out and find old paintings and send them to you so I can watch more. I won't. You're safe from a deluge of projects. Just keep sharing. Thanks!
Kit makes a masterful appearance at the end!!!
We haven’t seen Kit for a while! It's good to see her
Beautifully remastered. I learned so much while watching this video.
Your videos remind me of some of the home improvement shows I used to watch with my dad growing up.
Stunning painting! I love this style that mimics the old Dutch and Italian masterworks because it is so far from my personal art style and takes far more detail than I can manage.
I so do enjoy these videos u do to say that I'm a panting enthusiasts I enjoy how u repair and fix them to a point that I watch when I do my household chores
The ending brought tears. Bravo
WOW Beautiful restoration so that's how it's done amazing. I applaud and cheer loudly thanks for video.
Wonderful. It makes the artwork now really beautiful, when before it was sad and yellowish
Great work on this painting, I don't think anyone looking at this painting will know you ever worked on it. Your skills are being looked for and once you did great work in the past and saved paintings that were so badly damaged. The people that you have done work for have been letting others know were to go for there paintings. This will give you work for years to come and you should be glad to be held in such a good light. Add another one to the win box, your team is sitting in the winners box for a long time to come...
Bonus footage at the end is ~chef's kiss~
Hooray for Dan and his grandma!
Another fantastic restoration. Love watching your videos, the outcome never disappoints 👏👏👏☘️
Of all the paintings I’ve watched you repair, this is the one I’d like to own.
Not to inflate any potential ego, and not wanting to encourage any, already, over inflated, and unnecessary, narrative, possibly dewing to youth, but what you do is amazing. From someone who hasn't a clue about restoration, except for, what you have enlightened me with, and what I've observed of others on-line. And I rank you well above above all the others on the internet, doing restorations for some pretty impressive galleries and action houses. I've recommended you above them. My intent is, if you want to reduce unnecessary effort, don't explain what we already observe you doing. You look more omnipotent, making you a level above. (Sorry, long day of editing the unnecessaries) You're still amazing. Rise to it.
this is probably the best retouching i seen so far, it has just magicly disapears !
I am sure the client was thrilled. Wonderful work as always.
This retouching was amazing! I've been following you for years, and it's been wonderful to witness your understanding of these archival paints get better and better with time!
Love Kit in the background, beautiful work.
Absolutely amazing, I could watch your restorations all day long! As for Kit, how funny she is! Xx 😊
I had this queued up to watch, then wandered over to instagram for a sec in between youtube videos. Saw that this was Dan Avidan's grandmother's painting. RAN over here to watch the video. The crossover event we didn't know we needed!
So glad you squeezed this into one shortish video even though it must have taken hours and days to complete YOUR masterpiece....
I love her shenanigans! A girl after my own heart!! What an awesome job, Julian. That was beautiful.
Fully wonderful, yeah let’s get Kirt in that seat! Another masterful performance Mr B
Gorgeous work WOW. This is some real and evident LOVE being put into this old painting. What a joy to see the reveal after so many careful steps.
Julian, amongst many other things, is a 🧙. What’s so extraordinary about this project is how subtle Julian’s work is. There is no evidence of his work. The painting has been, to put it simply, restored in the truest sense of the word. Well done! 👏🏻
I always love the kit cameos
I love your work and explanations! Your voice is so relaxing and soothing.
Beautiful work! I've known about art restoration in the abstract for a long time, but this is my first time seeing the process in such detail. The amount of care that goes into it is extraordinary. Kudos.
The restoration came out AMAZING!
Love Kit's shenanigans.
Ahahaha I love Kitts eyebrow wiggle before the square space "ad" hehe
I've watched probably 90% of the videos on this channel and this is without a doubt one of the most impressive retouchings I've seen Julian do. I also greatly appreciate how much uncut retouching there is in this video, it's my favorite part.
You did a good job on the clouds, no obvious weird bits
Did anyone else see the Eagle with a fish in its beak @19.32. Great work on the restoring a beautiful painting. Hi kitt👀
Oh my god what a beautiful pai... KITT!!!!!
Kitt’s eyes! Great video and MORE KITT!!!!
