Like other people, viewers of this video who enjoyed it would 100% enjoy watching videos from Baumgartner Restorations, the guy shows how to fix all sorts of stuff, makes sure completly that the painting is preserved as close to original as possible while still making it look presentable, uses almost everything completly reserable just in case, he's amazing And is voice-over is SOOO calming

It was painted in 1642 and trimmed in 1715. At 60 years old it was probably in that period where paintings are too old to be exciting but not old enough to be classics. Or someone was just arrogant enough it had to be hung on their wall, whatever the cost of history.

Thanks for the tip; love the channel. There is a fantastic channel of old products restoration called "My Mechanics", it is really transfixing inasmuch as this person not only brings back a destroyed object, but makes it better than when it was new without distorting its essence.

On one hand I feel very seen, because I’m studying art conservation and will officially become a restoration technician in a few months. On the other hand it breaks my heart knowing only a selected few art pieces in this world get the attention and funding they deserve for their conservation. Like me and all my classmates now are worried we won’t be paid enough to provide for ourselves once we’re out working, and… we’re from Italy, we’ve worked in Venice, shouldn’t it be a place where art conservation is prioritized? 😭😭

The way my jaw dropped when they said that they had used AI and taught it to paint in the artists style. Thats absolutely incredible, amazing vid

Restorers of the past were amazingly clumsy. Not only in painting, but in architecture as well. The Parthenon, for instance, suffered catastrophic restoration undertakes in the 18th and 19th centuries that caused more damage to the structure of the temple than if absolutely nothing had been done until proper restaurers of the 20th century began their work.

i love ted-ed so much. i can't recall a single time i was disappointed with a video of theirs. Perfect. Every. Time.

This should be a series where they discuss other paintings restorations

A very educational video as always Ted-Ed.

Fantastic topic, here's an idea for the next video: The destructive restoration done to the sistine chapel during the 80's and 90's. Most likely, that carnage fueled the change on the field of restoration, which now is more focused on preservation and (actual) restoration that doing a "facelift". I can still remember my weeping professor talking about it like someone stole their kids.

Yesssss! Art conservation is a job whose works are so underratted tbh. I'm glad big platforms like TED-ed are bringing them closer to public.

Baumgartner Restoration is an excellent channel if you like this kind of content!! The videos are very educational, and the voiceover is so calming!

Art + ted=masterpiece

This was mind-blowing...I didn't knew AI can assume the missing pieces, and thanks to the other artist too.🌻

It's good to see real art is still being appreciated. Especially with the existence of NFTs nowadays.

i have always loved TED-Ed. You guys rock!!

Art conservators, as well as art handlers, are quite awe inspiring. You have never truly seen a person take care with an object until you have seen it done by one of these rare individuals. Patience and exactitude are the words that come to mind.

that's interesting about the AI created pieces. I had learned that the missing pieces of the Rembrandt could be made because of an old, smaller, copy of fhe whole picture. That is how a recreation team in 2021 found out how to complete the full picture. AI guesses thus seem a bit unnecessary when literally a copy exists.

@baconpancakes1752

Жыл бұрын

My guess is that the smaller picture just didn't have the fidelity or resolution to be used as is for restoration. The AI was trained as a Rembrandt Upscaler where it learns the nuances of Rembrandt paintings and then upscales the small copy of the painting to a full size version.

This was so intriguing!! Did not expect this level of painstaking labor, attention to detail, intense research and sophisticated use of technology before watching 😳 Ted Ed never ceases to amuse and inform!!!

Videos like these are so encouraging. They show that restoration can take place in art. It makes one wonder, what other problems such as: pollution, deforestation, equitable wealth distribution and hunger can be dealt with by using Artificial Intelligence and diligent human effort?

This is definitely one of your most insightful videos

Fascinating. I recall a wonderful documentary on the restoration of Nightwatch many years ago. I’ve also done some restoration myself, though not on valuable masters. It’s slow and tedious but ultimately satisfying in a different way than creating original artwork.

inlove w ted-ed’s animations

The mutilation of the Rembrandt's was a outrageous. Someone from that museum should've gone to prison for that crime.

The perfect narrator voice doesn't exis....

The Rembrandt is a great example of the digital humanities at work!

Reminds me of studying fine art in Europe . I had 1100 photos of pieces of art Imhad seen and was only 1/8 of the art studied . These portraits are remarkable and the restorers have done an excellent job - bravo ! The World beautiful art , literally a feast for the eyes. I don't know why people try to destroy it . I seen damage statues that the Vactican could or would restore , but behind bullet proof glass . It just take one person to ruin seeing this up close without barriers . Hopefully I can go back to Europe, when this pandemic is under control to revisited the beautiful master works!

Thank you, Marriott 🙏😘
