The Conservation of "The Assassination of Archimedes"
Watch a Conservator Delicately Remove Murky Varnish and a Warped Wooden Panel From an Aging Painting ...
Julian Baumgartner, of Baumgartner Fine Art Restoration in Chicago, condenses over 40 hours of delicate swiping, scraping, and paint retouching into a 11.5 minute narrated video of a recent conservation project. Baumgartner walks the audience through his restoration of The Assassination of Archimedes, which involved cleaning a darkened varnish from the surface of the piece, removing the work from its original wooden panel using both modern and traditional techniques, mounting the thin paper-based painting to acid-free board, and finally touching up small areas that had become worn over the years.
You can watch the entire process in the curated video below, and learn about Baumgartner’s other conservation projects on Instagram and Youtube.

Thank you Jacki! I'm sending you healing energy. And Yes! Your computer can't be at you at Kick boxing!! You Go girl!
Thanks so much for your kind words, I appreciate you. Who you?
Jacki, it was a dream as a young girl to be a conservator. I would have had the patience for it but I had no idea where to learn it.
Nevertheless I was happy to be a teacher.
Wishing you good health.
I am so happy you are in good health, a blessing indeed. Wow, I didn't even know what an art conservator was when I was little? Unlike you, I would not have the patience, they'd fire me.
