In this episode we continue removing the horrible glue from the back of the canvas and those patches are removed. We then begin the relining process, I dig a little into who the painting may be painted by and we remove the japanes facing paper! there are a few hiccups along the way!

Come on guys. Bloomfield and Baumgartner are two different people in two different countries with two different styles. I’ve watched all of their videos and enjoy them. They both use great care and attention to the art in their care and achieve the same results in the end. Stop trying to make this a contest.

You are correct! There is always that divisive person.

I started watching art restoration with the Chicago guy, and later discovered this English gentleman’s channel. Baumgartner shows the process clinically and succinctly with an almost exact repetition of the process, textbook. Bloomfield offers a look at the reality of the process: slower, not always smoothly, but more shall l say, realistically. The first shows what the process steps are composed of, the second offers a more real-time experience that l can appreciate because of the first one’s classroom experience. I do horse tack and blanket repair. Seeing art repaired and restored is a pleasure for me. I am grateful to both for creating their channels to open up this world to those of us who would otherwise have no contact with.

Gilbert Baldrey challange accepted! I am an amature genealogist. In five minutes I've found him in the 1911 Census in Brighton, Sussex, England. 79 years old. Career: Artist Painter. I'll email more. Earlier Census shows he's the son of George W. Baldry (sic), also an Artist.

Once again love the preference for tradition & non-synthetic treatments & attempt to discover the artist! Though the background & robe seem earlier than Victorian.... But could also be parent's choice vs artist's...

Interesting lining work. I don’t think I’ve seen it before. I look forward to its cleaning. While everyone has a right to their opinion it’s sad to see comments that are denigrating, such as calling you an amateur. To sycophants of say, Baumgartner, I would say, quit being disrespectful, and Mr. Bloomfield makes a living doing this so apparently he IS a professional and highly regarded. Mr. Bloomfield I respect your humility. It is so pleasing to not have to hear self-righteous narcissistic conservationists. Cheers sir. You’ve made my day!

@LSman176 17 күн бұрын

Gartner reminds me of every tradesmen's I've ever had around for a quote, he slags off the previous tradesman in order to make himself look good. James seems to make a living form this and working with european paintings older than 1900. Let's see your restorations as you seem to be an expert.

@jugheadjones5458 17 күн бұрын

@@LSman176 Anywhere in my comment did I say I was a conservator? My statement that Mr. Bloomfield is a professional is strictly from observation. That’s easy. And, I AM a guitar conservator; mostly electric guitars.

Gardner is well known for being very invasive and he is obviously narcissistic. He just does what his customers say for the $ and even tries to talk them into what he wants.

@Garden366 17 күн бұрын

Well said and I second your opinion! Bloomfield is just as much a professional as Baumgartner and no professional or artisan does their job exactly the same. I love both channels.

Again I've learned something new from your video. I've never seen wax used in that manner. It was so interesting to watch. His eyes are ...I don't know the words. When you started to uncover them it was as though he was staring right at me. Thank you for sharing your work with us.

I have been researching the wax-resin effects on paintings which have been relined in this fashion. There are some interesting investigations from the Rijksmuseum and the National Gallery in London. On certain paintings, given how their canvases were originally prepared, the exposure of the canvas, and the type of paints used, that there can be subtle or more obvious darkening to the picture. The technique was largely used in the Netherlands. I am curious why you chose this method in this case rather than some other compounds.

From a costume history point of view the clothing is from the late 1830's, between about 1837 and 1841 or so. If it's your later painter, it could be a copy of an earlier picture but the stamp on the canvas fits right in with the style of the clothing. Pity about the damage and condition but I'm impressed with your skill at retouching and I'm sure you'll make it look very much less pathetic that it is now.

Could the painting actually be done by his father, George William Baldry who was a portrait painter.

I agree that the Young Master's head seems to sit oddly on the body; but looking at that portrait of the little girl @12:30, I thought hers did as well - less so, but still not quite right. The same for the figure on the left in the painting with the two children @14:22. I do hope that you'll find better work under some of the overpaint. The Young Master's face and especially the eyes are so expressive.

Im not a restorer or even know much about painted portraits, but my very first thought on seeing those hands was that they had been very badly overpainted. They just don't seem to match to the quality of the rest of the work. The somewhat large head doesn't bother me. Some children of that age have quite large heads. I'm guessing the worst overpainting will be the face and hands.

A little tip, not a criticism. When doing the voiceover, be mindful that you have a loud swallow, which can be distracting. I love the videos. I just wanted to mention it as I think it would improve the quality of your videos. Keep up the good work.
