the aftermath looks much more realistic which is super cool
One painting I did not like by just looking at it from art’s books. Now seeing the closeup of the people with an expression in their face I changed opinion. I did not realize it was a huge painting.
I have been captivated by this painting since I first saw it in a book 10 years ago. The veil on the woman's face is exquisite. I think Caillebotte was quite underrated
Shubham Bhushan I agree--his work is compelling and his use here of the umbrellas has a Magritte feel to it!
Part of the reason that he was, until relatively recently, so little known is that he rarely exhibited his pictures and as he was already wealthy he never sold any. In fact during his own lifetime he was better known as a patron of other artists than he was for his own paintings. He funded exhibitions and collected the works of other major artists of the time including pieces by Monet, Renoir, and Pissarro among others.
I was disinterested about this painting and did not want to know about it. There was something (the mood?) that did not suit me. Yet I knew it was there. To-day, because of the restoration work I finally became interested in the painter’s life and work. Probably I needed time to settle on something that secretly I knew I would like.
Me too. One of my favourite paintings. Had no idea it was so big.
what a beautiful work of art...it's absolutely amazing
Totally.
The first time I saw this painting as a girl, it enchanted me...in the original sense of the word. My eyes couldn’t get enough, for some reason. I mean, it isn’t a figure-filled kaleidoscope of color! By I felt I entered that world, maybe looking out of a window at the passersby, and I could almost hear the couple in conversation. There’s something so very charming about it!
The composition of the painting just draws you in ...the broad streetscape, the two main characters and there's enough room on the canvas for the viewer to leap onto the painting and discover 19th century Paris
This is a wonderful transformation. Cailbotte is an underappreciated master. Looking forward to an Art Institute of Chicago visit to see this one day!
He's an unsung hero of the Impressionist period, too, quietly funding all of his more famous artist friends when they needed money. He should be celebrated more!
I've seen reproductions of this painting, but had no idea of its scale. Figures in foreground are virtually life size. One can almost step into painting and go back in time. Truly a masterpiece!
My favorite painting! I'm actually drinking tea from the mug I got at this exhibition in LA in 1994 when Caillebotte's paintings went on tour. I was absolutely captivated by how green the lamp post is. It really centers the whole scene visually. That's never captured in any photographs or reprints. There's so much detail in the smaller things in the background that are hard to see in smaller prints, too. I'm glad they were able to restore this and recover some of that amazing detail! ♥
This is one of my favourite paintings of all time! I wanted it on my wall so much that I printed it on a color printer in my dad's work from internet when I was 15 :) So great to see it renewed.
Simply marvelous!!! I’ve stared at that painting so many times in art books; and to see it restored so beautifully is magical!
Love watching paintings come to life
This painting was on the cover of one of my college textbooks, I had no idea it was so big!
I first saw this painting when I was 7 years old at the institute. Now im 41. Good to see it again.
As a kid and teenager, I took art lessons in an old historic studio that was upstairs from a fine art gallery where they restored old paintings, so I was lucky to see this kind of work done in person!
So nice to see this, I've wrote a paper at college about this painting and artist.
Hello, Would you care to take the time to do something interesting.?
Keyword "Alamy stock images" search for Monet's bedroom. you will see
Cailliebottes "Paris street, rainy day" above the bed, however a smaller
version. The bedroom is actually in Monet's house in Girverny. strange.
Could you imagine making something and someone over 100 years later is admiring your work still? To know that when you make the thing would be amazing.
I remember visiting the art institute in 3rd grading and was really impressed with this wonderful painting. It was in 1970.
It's quite funny how he "forgot" to draw the actual rain, makes the picture more memorable
I’ve have gotten the honor of seeing this painting in person and it is crazy amazing.
I can feel the weather from that beautiful paint.
Wow, what patience! Would drive me nuts after 5 minutes doing that job. I am full of admiration
That's a beautiful painting
This is so pure
Great job on the restoration! Beautifulwork of art!
She has a lot of patience
Beautiful
I would love to visit this again! ☺️
Beautiful painting.Nice restoration 😎
saved a masterpiece thank you!
Fantastic work of art.
I saw this in person :)
Oh yeah? Well that's me IN the painting.
175 years young!
I saw it in Fort Worth some time back. It was stunning.
calli soleil I did too as a child. I was around 11 years old. One of my favorite paintings. I have since moved from my hometown Chicago.
Wonderful
A much smaller version of this painting hangs on a bedroom wall in Monet's house in
Giverny. I saw it originally in a movie on Monet's life, (which I cannot find now) but you can
find it using keyword "Monet's bedroom" search the "Images" and look for it on "Alamy's
stock images"
Super beautiful
That wet cobblestone, tho....
ikrr
2:04 - sounds like 'its pretty dope' 😂
I thought the PlayStation was turning on when the video started ffs.
so satisfying
Very interesting...I have often wondered how this was done!
Amazing.
This is why we're members of the Art Institute of Chicago.
Wow!
I have a large oil painting of McCaw & Parrots that we purchased in 1988. It has a gold tone/ copper colored frame. The painting is probably 4 x 6 feet long. For putting behind a large couch, etc, it fits from top of couch to ceiling, it has 30 years of tobacco smoke on it. It is pretty much muted greens except for the birds that are a little brighter. I am in West Kentucky, what would be the best way to restore it or can/will you recommend anyone nearby to do it reasonable. I think we paid about $900 for it in 1988.
Beau travail !
It reminds me of my norton anthology of European lit. book cover..... hahaha
2:02 hey thats pretty good
That painting hangs in my classroom
The dramatic result was in Spain ;)
2:02 it's pretty dope, LOL
One of my favorite paintings. I thought the earring was of gold.
She is literally the only person who thought that earring was pearl.
1:45 *inception BWAAAM sound*
My English book has that painting on the front cover
So she is taking the varnish off and then puts new varnish on it?
Missy Evitt probably. at the very least she's removing the yellowed varnish so you can see the original colour
Missy Evitt yes
Yes, it is to prevent the original color from fading or changing over time as some pigments react to things in the air or light, today they use a varnish that for what we know doesn't change color and it it does anyways it is removable, so that any future restorer have an easier job to do it all over again without any damage to the original.
So, the thumbnail for this video gave me this idea for a joke about the restorer removing a smudge of dirt, which had concealed the fact that the artist had inadvertantly captured the identity of Jack the Ripper. It was quite droll, but I'm unable to convey it into words which seem amusing.
This lady knows.....
why does the music in the beginning sound like when I start my ps3
Anyone else got a little dizzy when the painting was upside down? Probably cause I’m sick right now but oh well.
Her Voice Has all the Abrasion Needed for The Clean up
For some reason this reminds of of Civilization 5.
Mr bean did it better
Whistler's Mother 😂😂

Can anyone give me some information. Are there a lot of jobs going in art conservation ? Is it in demand ?
What’s the giant hose for?
Scouting Inc. must be the hose to an extractor fan to take dust out the air.
Lol I thought Symphony from Clean Bandit will start to play.
what are the dots on the painting of the womans face
mariam I believe it's a veil.
The OCD part of me thinks I would love this job! Lol
I wanted to watch this then the channel name popped up
Was Waldemar niet in een straat daar geboren ? Hij stond eens daar ,maar ja ik zie hem overal 😂 tenminste denk ik 😵💫
Where is this painting?
The Art Institute of Chicago
People were so well dressed back then, sigh.
Bruh thats literally the ps3
Way too short.
😁😁😁😁😁😁
*PS3 turns on
Beginning of video
MAIS POURQUOI ? Nôtre peintre Français CAILLEBOTTE
A du traverser une mer et un continent pour se faire nettoyer à Chicago ?
Nous , inventeur de plusieurs périodes artistiques de nettoyer et restaurer nos propres œuvres !!!!!!
Autant pour moi@@DFDalton1962 - J'aurais pensée qu'il était dans un de nos musées Français. Vu comme ça, je comprends mieux et ne remets pas la qualité de nettoyage de Mr Baumgartner que j'apprécie et admire.
2:48 is it supposed to say “Art Institvte”?
They use this because that is how the name is carved on the facade of the building. At the time, they were copying Classical architecture for important buildings. Even though the inscription is English, they Latinized it by using the V instead of the U since Classical Latin did not have the letter U.
Jim P that makes a lot of sense, thank you!
My teacher has a copy of this painting.
Varrrrrrrrniche.
no face mask? you spit on it while you talked...
Wasn’t even dirty. You only took off the varnish. 🤦🏼♀️
Wonder how the value went down
It doesn't have the original varnish anymore
Watch the video again, they said the painting was (treated) varnished prior to its sale in 1964. Therefore it probably was not the original varnish being removed.
Don't worry, the varnish doesn't have anything to do with the value because it is just the preserve/ clear coat that goes on top. The longer it stays on the more yellow and dirty it becomes so it regularly needs replacing every hundred years or so. Also with the impressionists, there tends to be a lot of experimentation with all the new factory paints and varnishes which were not tested, so there is always a chance with this period of paintings that the varnish could actually do harm. I know Caillebotte was more of a by the books type of artist so that was not likely the case with the particular piece. But all that matters is preserving the paint and the brushstroke. If anything the value went up because you can see it's full beauty now.
Not that I'm trying to offend art, I love art, but why is there so much value placed on a painting? What exactly makes it so valuable? What is the high level of importance that people need to restore a painting and keep it locked up?
Examples: Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci, Woman-Ochre by Willian De Kooning, Pablo Picasso's Nude Green Leaves & Bust, Codex Hammer by Leonardo Da Vinci, Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh, The Birth Of Venus by Sandro Botticelli, Impression Sunrise by Claude Monet.
I mean really why do people place so much value on materialistic things? It's ridiculous!
ROGUE X94 you could say that for most things
ROGUE X94 capitalism
All those painting are valuable cause of something that happened to them.not because of their creative merit.
For example the monalisa was at one point just another painting in a museum.then it got stolen and the story blew up giving it noteraity.
The monalisa it self is not special.it's actually just a painting used to teach a understudy.
ROGUE X94 Some paintings are more than just pretty, they offer so of the first examples of high level techniques, often created for that painting by that artist. What makes Mozart so revered isn't just because his music sounds good, it's because the concept he used to create music were all but unheard of during his time, and are now music theory 101 due to him.
It's a part of history and culture.
glorified cleaners :)
to start with the painting was in excellent shape, it was just a normal aged vernish removal, nothing dramatic here
