The cleaning of this painting by Mathias J. Alten goes way back to 2018, before I had a beard and any concept of social media! Amazing what removing soot andngrime from a painting can yield.

This painting that made a cameo in my last YouTube video was just approved by the client 🤩. For reference, that test window is about 1” x 1 1/2” and the painting is 6’ x 9’ And you can bet your sweet behinds that this is going to be a video... it just might not be done for a while ☺️ Anyhow, if you’re in the States, the Labor Day weekend is coming; don’t do any work! And if you’re not, well you too get a weekend; enjoy it!! See y’all on Tuesday! 🍻 | Baumgartner Fine Art Restoration

Certainly a more impactful change on this painting. Often pieces with a large quantity of dark area respond favorably to varnishing as the darks seem to get darker and more intense and by contrast the lights appear to be brighter. | Baumgartner Fine Art Restoration

It’s always an exciting time when the varnish comes off a painting. Over the course of a painting’s life the varnish can deteriorate. Through exposure to air and light the once clear layer of natural resin can turn yellow, brown or even gray. This change begins almost instantly but at a very slow pace such that the daily viewer of a given painting may never notice. Yet once we begin to remove the varnish, wow, what a difference. It strikes me as a fundamental misunderstanding of the artistic pro

Nothing like spending the day scraping glue off of the back of a painting. The old lining needed to come off and the adhesive was rabbit skin glue. Luckily, this glue can be softened and swollen which allows the removal to be fairly easy if a bit stinky. Unfortunately, it took much longer than I anticipated and that’s kind of a bummer. Also, no this one won’t be a video but I have some in the works so stay tuned | Baumgartner Fine Art Restoration

Ahh, Friday. You can never come too soon. Friday’s generally mean varnishing day for me and to wit, here’s a little video of a painting I just finished receiving a varnish. This is a Regalrez UV-stable synthetic resin varnish. I’m brushing this coat on and then if necessary I’ll adjust the sheen with additional spray coats. I have to say, even though I’ve varnishes at least 10,000 paintings it never gets old seeing the colors come to life and the painting vibrate! | Baumgartner Fine Art Restorat
