/ baumgartnerrestoration
Obscured by a darkened varnish and mounted to a wood panel the artwork is cleaned and the panel removed using both modern and traditional techniques. Using routers, hand planes and scalpels the wood is painstakingly removed form the thin paper in order to facilitate the preservation of the paper via archival mounting to acid-free board.
Employing archival and reversible materials and techniques, Baumgartner ensures that the piece is preserved and stable for generations to come.
*** Note: I mistakenly refer to the painting as "The Assassination of Aristotle" when in fact the poor chap about to part with his head is Archimedes. ***

@@alisonmolina6670 not even daddy most of the time from what I've seen, though. People are fond of him, so he is either deemed attractive (hence 'daddy') or deemed a parental figure imparting his wisdom (hence 'dad').

He’s literally performing surgery on this painting. He’s a art doctor.
You're an grammar doctor.

He should've added air pods to the painting

Ah, AirPods. One of Archimedes’ lesser known inventions.
@@BasedPeanutButterEnjoyer It unfortunately became his undoing, it appears he was listening to Iron Maiden at the time of his death.
Almost didn't watch this episode because I have strong emotions about the event. Oh my God (I rarely swear, this is a prayer) Archimedes was a world treasure. Do you know Roman records reported they wanted Archimedes, alive, almost as much as they wanted his city Athens. I've often wondered what happened to that idiot soldier?

lmao and even if you could somewhat restore it you would have in the back of your mind "one slip up and it will shatter into a thousand pieces and ill probably be sued"
i'm a restoration student. we had a painting on canvas that was in a very delicate state and once we removed it from the wood, we had to clean with the scapel the back of it. and my dumb ass scratched too hard and made the paint layer fall....so yeah, even we are afraid of touching paintings (at least for me from now on)

@@KillThad no it's a piece of sharp metal. :'D
I think, as he explained in the beginning, the wood was damaging the painting because it expanded and got waves. So, in this case, it had to be removed. The painting was glued on it.

Archimedes doesn't seem very aware of his surroundings.
Definitely a lack of Total Situational Awareness. Somewhere, Archer is shaking his head.
It's Archimedes: Noli turbare circulos meos
The painting doesn't represent wthe actual murder. In real life Archimedes saw the Roman soldier and even then he only cared about his work by saying to the soldier " Please don't step on my circles" referring to the circles he had drawn on the floor to practice math and geometry.
@@shadowrun45 Ah, funny, they changed the youtube title - it originally said Aristotle, and I was like, I thought he just died of old age? ;D
@@shadowrun45 at 2:04 he says "we can start to see the sensitivity with wich the artist painted Aristotle"...that's confusing as well

there are two types of baumgartner fans: ones that call him Dad, and ones that call him Daddy
They're the one's that got lost on their way to a garandthumb video.

lukewarmmess, what you talkin about, Willis?
And there are those that don't have daddy issues.
I've done a small amount of painting in my time. After watching some of these videos, I have resolved on how I shall begin my artistic career; extremely massive, solvent unstable, paper medium, glued to dollar store cork, sealed with dollar store resin. I want this guy's student's student, preserving my piece, to spend 5 months chipping resin off, trying to clean it and randomly erasing chunks of pigment because I mixed aquaphobic, aquaphilic, and/or solvent unstable paints at random in the same block of color, spend another 5 months getting the thing off the cork, and then, the piece de resistance: the paper dissolves when exposed to conservator grade sealant. They get the solvent sprayer out and *tssssssh* a year's worth of hard work is now less than wet tissue paper. What they will not know is that the destruction of my legacy *was* my artwork. Some of my favorite creations have been temporary, mutable, as sand castles on the beach. That feeling of messing up and ruining something you worked hard on is my message. Never before has it been more effectively driven than it will on that day. Now to start practicing traditional painting again to earn this preservation...

Its hard to explain since its very much a visual meme

The amount of detail and colour hidden by layers of dirt astounds me everytime!
Same here! It's amazing to see how removing it can bring the painting back to life.
Watching the painting come to life once the dirt and old varnish are removed is EVERYTHING.
It's actually NOT "layers of dirt", but rather the natural discolouration of the varnish used to protect the surface of the painting. Note, of course, that paintings can be left with a dirty surface before being varnished, or when being re-varnished, thus trapping dirt within the layers (much like a lazily done floor varnishing job).
Kain Yusanagi oh I thought it was dirty because that's what the guy said in the video. Oops ;-;

It’s so hilarious that people say things like “I’m not a conservator... but you’re doing that wrong.”
Yeah right.. Know it all people😏
Exactly! especially since different conservators have different methods of doing things! Like, if they're allowed to save actual history, it's kind of assumed that they are certified and shouldn't be questioned about what or how they are doing this or that.
Nicholas Markowski Actually the conservation profession is not protected. Anyone can call himself a conservator without having the degree for it.

For the curious, when Archimedes was killed in 212 BC, in his hands was the world's very first computer. After the fall of Syracuse, Archimedes was ordered to bring his instruments to the Roman General Marcellus. After gathering them up, Archimedes walked through a city full of victorious Roman soldiers looking for loot. A soldier ordered Archimedes to surrender his instruments but when Archimedes tried to explain his orders to deliver them, he was killed by the soldier. Marcellus must have found out because many years later, his grandchildren were still in possession of the instruments, one of which was described as a crank-driven device showing the correct positions of the moon/planets and indicating dates of future/past lunar/solar eclipses - but due to overuse and age, it no longer worked. This description matches the "Antikythera Mechanism" discovered in 1900 which is believed to either be the very device taken from Archimedes or a copy. The apocryphal story of Archimedes dying while doing mathematics isn't true - but it's poetically true. This romantic story may have been invented because people of the time couldn't appreciate the significance of computing yet many people understood mathematics. We certainly appreciate computing now.
Actually there are 3 different "opinions" on how he died, but unfortunately none is confirmed. A great scientist and a brilliant mind, we studied him in history classes.
@@user-si3cl9gd3e
True for most of ancient history things get distorted with time but atleast we got a relatively good idea of what happened
@@Eleriol84 yeah that's the only real issue with history. The further back you go, the less and less things were recorded by unbiased people.
Everyone say "Thank you, Archimedes" whenever you power up your computer/phone.

Me: Julian, honey, none of us mere simpletons question your judgement

Nat 1, Archimedes failed his perception check.
Local tf2 player about to be backstabbed (2018)
That's a good one! 😂
During either the first or second Punic wars. it was a rumor that when the city in which Archimedes resided was being sacked by the Romans. the only thing he said to the Roman soldier was "Do not disturb the Circles." And continued on his fucking business. the man gave absolutely zero shits. What a mad man.
Aight so i accidently clicked on this video. At first i was just gonna click off and resume what i was doing beforhand. But then i decided to stay a bit. And then he started to clean the painting. And thats where i got hooked. One if the best accidents ive ever made.

Okay so in my latin classroom, we haved talked about this painting, and then I see that this was so dirty, and then you comes and Pouf! It's clean and perfect! Your art/work is just fabulous!
Damn, this guy doesn’t take the painting off the wood, he takes the wood off the painting. Plot twist!
Haha!
@Zero Cool But, there is a difference. He separated the wood from the painting, not the painting from the wood. Helena was expecting for the painting to be removed from the wood, but the wood was removed slowly until just the painting was left.
Zero Cool removing the painting would mean leaving the wood intact and slowly peeling the painting from the backing. Removing the wood means slowly removing the wood from the back of the piece. There is a huge difference in approach.
I could sit and watch him for 2 hours straight
Claudia Carter I have.
He needs a conservation live stream.
Claudia Carter his voice is so soothing (not boring) and it makes me fall asleep but I wanna see the end result so bad

I cant remember but didn't mr bean fix the painting later
Holy moly! I would have never guessed you would route/carve the wood away like that. Amazing result!
I was thinking the same thing. It makes sense when you really think about it, but it seems backwards. The painting was applied to paper and then applied to wood, so the natural order would seem to be to remove the paper from the wood, not the wood from the painting.
@@---cr8nw I would have thought so myself, but then I realized: he can't access the paper layer without destroying the paint layer... this approach makes a lot of sense...
In my mind I was going kind of:
"Ok, maybe exist an miraculous elixir ultra rare and expensive that nobody knows about that spilling drop by drop over the canvas separate the pain... (next thing I see he is GLUING PAPER directly on the ancient and unique piece and my jaw dropped to the hell)"
At the end of the video I was just amazed. No words, just amazed
paper and wood are very similar in their chemical makeup. Unless you have a solvent that works perfectly on the glue youll have a hard time seperating them from each other. Also something hard stuck to a soft object is always difficult.
“...it’s not going to be easy” Then he goes and makes it look impressively easy!

"OMG, he ruins it, it lost its color now"
"Oh wait, that's the real color, false alarm"

Did anyone else flinch when he brushed all the wood shavings into the lens of the camera?
Would be cool to hear the value of the paintings and maybe what it would cost roughly to restore it
This doesn't answer your question but I checked out his website the other day and he charges $0 for consultations, which I think is pretty cool (he could be making money off of that). Plus the website guarantees that even if he runs into problems during the restoration that cost more than the initial quote, he'll never increase your quote, and just absorbs those costs. He seems like a pretty cool dude based on those business practices.
A lot of clients don't want that information revealed. On top of it, it can make work harder for our pal Julian. Since no two paintings are alike, stating the price could set unrealistic expectations for future clients.
Most of them are way into 7 figures if not 8
If you go to his website you can get a rough idea. Like you guessed, he gets paid quite handsomely

The professionalism that you convey and the results speak for themselves.
This is why i love youtube, you never know what you'll stumble on
This restoration will be appreciated and admired by more than just art preservationists. The murder of Archimedes marks one of the bleakest moments in human history to mathematicians, as many of Archimedes results, proofs, and scratch-work contain the germs of calculus. If Archimedes had lived longer or had taken on a student later in life, the development of mathematics and the sciences would have likely occurred far earlier in human history. The murder of Archimedes should serve as a stark reminder to politicians and militants that the gutting of mathematics or the sciences hurts humanity far beyond the life of the relevant politics of the time. And this one painting snapshots that tragic moment of the anger of one soldier at one man trapped in contemplation to the detriment of humanity. I can't appreciate the specific techniques here, but I appreciate the care and the skill taken to restore this painting.

@@tobiascarlsson5967 Maybe so, but Archimedes and his inventions were also quite practical; they were the reason Syracuse had held out against the Romans for so long. His knowledge was as practical to his city as men like Feynman and Oppenheimer were to the US in WWII.
The Romans had set out to make an example of Syracuse for siding with Carthage while Hannibal was terrorizing the Roman countryside, but they were thwarted for months by inventions such as weighted hook traps which hoisted ships from the sea and mirror towers which concentrated sunlight to burn ships (I hazard a guess that it is the first directed energy weapon in recorded history). This so impressed the Romans that they wanted Archimedes taken alive at all costs, but the soldier who found him didn't realize the identity of the seventy year old man before him. He ordered Archimedes to stand, but Archimedes replied that he must first finish his figures, so the soldier made one of the greatest mistakes in history and cut him down.
Archimedes' accomplishments were more than military. He also put his knowledge to use in domestic matters to invent things like the Archimedes Screw, which is essential for irrigation even to this day, or to determine whether a goldsmith had cheated a king by cutting the gold of his crown with another metal. Even without Archimedes, the Romans were the master engineers of the Iron age, so one can only imagine what a benefit he would have been to the world if he had lived and put his genius to use for the good of the entire Roman Republic, especially at a time they were recovering from the devastation of Italy and their counter conquest of the Carthaginian Empire.
Beautifully put, robert!
I wish we could save the best comments on TH-cam in our playlists. I was thinking the other day of all the budding poets, scientists, painters who died in World War I and II and what they would have contributed.

My favorite streamer watched this the other night, I subscribed right away. Your work is SO impressive. The amount of skills and knowledge that goes into your profession is astounding!
A beautiful painting. I love how just a few strokes of the brush creates a face with amazing expression. Up close its just a few colours that almost look random. The artist knows how pareidolia works, so well. From a few steps away its an angry sad doleful expression- amazing.
My doctor during surgery: now I know you’re wondering why I’m not wearing gloves, but I like to feel the evenness of my stitching and I can’t do that with gloves
It’s a joke, please don’t come for me
😂😂😂
I feel like I've attended a masterclass. The explanations were clear and really interesting. Your attention to detail (and patience!!!) is incredible.
Imagine-routing off wood from a piece of paper! Wow! What nerve! Beautiful delicacy, beautiful piece, beautiful film. Thanks much.

I love the cleaning part. It's so satisfying. 😱
4:39 it looked like he was brushing the wood shavings towards my eyes so I blinked a couple of times
it makes me really happy whenever i watch one of these, imagine travelling into the future and seeing someone resurrect your artwork to it's former glory with new technology you've never seen before with the most respect possible, i'd be so happy
Imagine him doing this on the Mona Lisa lmao
Gymnastics Trey i wish he gets to do it tho
There's actually another video somewhere of a woman restorer doing just that, I believe....
2:05 aristotle? i've been scammed!
I just caught that myself and you were the first comment I found.
We've been bamboozled
i knew i heard him say aristotle, but couldnt find it
these are so satisfying to watch; the level of precision and detail is astonishing
This is the first of your videos I ever watched, and I love coming back to it from time to time. Never gets old
Im so anxious of the scalpel so close to the painting, this is so nerve-wracking and brilliant 💖
