For the most part, art conservators work quietly and privately in their studios; their work never gaining attention and if good, remaining unseen. Yet you folks know how interesting this work can be and even Hollywood takes notice every once in a while. So today, instead of plying my craft peacefully in my shop, I figured I'd take a look at some of the most recognizable scenes of art conservation in the movies and see just how much they get right.

The Vigo painting in Ghostbusters 2 is an interesting prop! It’s actually a photo! They set the photo up where they put makeup on the actor to look ‘painted’ and he stood in front of a painting backdrop… this meant they could cut between him moving and seamlessly change to film elements. The prop ‘painting’ is now in the Lobby of the Sky Walker ranch studio.

Rowan Atkinson is very smart man, but he created that character to be universally appealing in its naive, childish, no-speaking charm. If you know anything about the character, you won't cringe, because you expect it from the character, and if you have some measurable common-sense, you can always separate comedy and reality.

Might be worth noting that the painting Judi Dench was working on was an in situ fresco, so it couldn't have been moved into a lab or studio in the first place. (And while today that would probably involve tenting off the area as a temporary clean room, the movie was set during WWII Italy, back then it really would just have been one person up a stepladder)

According to the director of the Thomas Crown Affair, that heist scene originally included the details of how the briefcase worked and how it was able to fold the painting with a minimum of damage. However, it was decided that it took too long and slowed the pace of that tense scene too much, and was cut. The footage was not included in the deleted scenes on the DVD, so I have always wondered what the props department had come up with as an explanation for why the painting wasn't just completely destroyed!

This is a fun break! And your comment about modifying paintings reminded me of one of my college dorms. It was an 1800s mansion that was donated shortly after the great San Francisco Earthquake to what was, at that time, a teaching school for women run by nuns. The dining room had a beautiful hunting scene on the walls. The nuns had some modifications made so the painting would be "appropriate" for the ladies who would be staying in the dorm... specifically, the dogs were all "castrated" by painting out the genitals. 😅 The artist responsible did a masterful job - you basically have to have your nose to the fall to identify the overpainted sections- but i've often wondered what it looked like intact for the nuns to declare it so inappropriate!

I've watched some of the BBC Series "The Repair Shop" where they focus on repairing/restoring items of high sentimental value, more than high monetary value. The painting conservator uses some of the techniques I've seen here in a much smaller way, e.g. a small iron rather than a hot table. It is hard not to compare! I get it, but it is so easy to think: "This would be so much better if you were to take the painting off the stretcher and put in on a hot table to reattach that flaking paint!"

About the Toy Story clip, in antiques restoration people usually have a different approach, of removing damaged pieces and finishes and completely replacing them to make it look like how the thing was when new, opposed to art restoration where you try to fix it while keeping as much of the original material as possible. That's according to what I watch on KZfaq though, so I don't know if that's considered a correct practice for the field or not.

I like how you went straight from a scene from "Bean" featuring Peter MacNicol to a scene from "Ghostbusters 2" featuring Peter MacNicol.

I'd like to see Julian do an "everything is wrong" type conservation video, where he adds or removes things like beards and mustaches, changes elements of the painting, swaps out colors, doesn't use the right materials, etc.

I watched a lot of Julian's restoration works, and while they're incredibly done, I believe Mr Bean's conservation of Whistler's Mother was the best I've ever come across. 😂😂

The Tea with Mussolini scene makes sense considering that she is restoring a wall painting. Can't exactly remove the wall to take to a lab haha.

On the topic of "stealing" paintings, in GTA Online there is a heist where you can steal painting... you do so by jamming a knife into it and cut roughly around the frame leaving a sizable gap behind when you bag it... yea that hurts to look at.

I’ve got another one! In ‘Head over Heels’ starring Freddie Prince Jr. & Monica Potter. She’s a restorer and on one painting she’s working on she gets to decide which face to paint onto a painting that had damage, without knowing that it looked like before 😅

Technically, it's an art heist film with a forger and an art gallery curator, but Stealing Raden Saleh has a scene where the curator authenticates the art and a long montage of the forger replicating the painting down to the cracking

Uncovered is such a great movie, it's the first thing that came to mind I saw the thumbnail. It's a type of thriller that for some reason doesn't get made anymore. Thanks for the great content!

It's not a movie restoration but the infamous 'botched restoration' of the 'Ecco Homo' fresco of Christs face by 82 year old amateur painter Cecilia Gemenez in Borja Spain, is a standout for me.

There's a movie I can't recall the name of, about an art conservationist who falls for a double agent spy. At the end of the movie she uses his face to replace a missing face on a painting, saying that at least he was good for something.
