- Britta New shows how science and new technology improve our understanding of conservation changes that have been made to Rubens's 'Judgement of Paris' over its lifetime.
Using non-invasive imaging techniques, including XRF scanning, today, we can see the changes Rubens himself made to the composition and size of his picture, as well as the effects of more recent conservation treatment. Britta tells us how, armed with this new information, she was able to work on a painting that has so much history wrapped up in its panels and paint.
Funding for the conservation of Peter Paul Rubens's 'The Judgement of Paris' (1577 - 1640) was generously provided through a grant from the Bank of America Art Conservation Project.

Such a complex restoration and conservation work done by The National Gallery on such a magnificent masterpiece by the great Rubens is indeed highly praiseworthy!!👏👏👌👌😍😍❤❤
Our Conservation and Scientific teams are amazing at what they do! Thank you for watching
Wonderful presentation Britta. Well done.
Thank you, Geoffrey!
Another fantastic video! So informative! Thank you so much!
Thank you for watching!
Interesting to see behind the scenes of a Rubens painting
This was just fascinating and so much detail and complexity in a conservator's job. Much appreciated.
Has got to be very very well presented because I was engrossed and feel enlightened... Rubens is awesome
We're so glad you enjoyed it!
Fascinating.. thank you for a clear lucid presentation…
Thank you for this awesome restoration work, Britta! 👏
That restoration, and education about, it is so kewl! Thank You!!!
Thanks for watching! 😊
Very engaging.
Beautiful ❤
Fascinating.
I think that the painting should go back to how Reubens painted it. You have all the information on it.
Richieleus (sp) hand should be taken away.
The painting would be much more interesting, conversations about how this story was eroticised and how women were viewed would be far more prominent.
Thank you for the journey!
Interesting stuff!!
Nicely done presentation, I enjoy learning the ideas behind the restorations.

@@nationalgallery Thanks!
Really interesting and informative!
one of my fav works of Rubens .. lovely video.. recreating pigment from that time is crazy..
Fascinating. I love how much detail you went into.
Thanks so much for watching :)
Fascinating, thankyou! As you say, you are really fortunate to have technology to help you solve this complex puzzle.
Amazing analysis--fascinating how one painting holds so many stories
That was so interesting! Thanks so much!
Wonderful video of some fascinating work, thankyou.
There are paintings at the National Gallery that are less interesting and less skillfully executed than the back of this one ! 😉.
More high class carpentry on the channel please.
This is so wonderful.. I learned so much and enjoyed the behind the scenes of this grand work. As others have made the sentiment please keep these videos coming. 🪺 also what a wonderful and fun outfit you have, love love the repurposed jean dress 👖 and blouse!
Very interesting thank you
What a dream job!!! The artistic license must be maddeningly secretive; like a forger.
Love this highly informative format. Also not bite-size.
Just a note: 'putti' is plural for 'putto'
now to see the final product! it would have been nice had they treated us to a sneak peek!
The restoration is still ongoing! Keep an eye on our channel for more updates in the near future!
Always enjoy your presentations. So what will be the final composition?
I never realised the shield has the actual head on it!

I never knew what I didn’t know.
the original conception works much better as a scene/illustration
nice presentation
maybe everybody is aware of the mythological story of Paris, so no need to tell it again
