whoever folded back the top way back when, that was a monstrous thing to do. amazing how the new varnish brought out the colors.

Its a great pity the Met videos on KZread are so short. There must be so many guest speakers - specialists and academics - at the Met? Its a pity more of them aren't uploaded.

Emilia Darquea nails. The painting gets detached from the wood struckture, they atech a new layer of paper on the back and restore the painting. Then they use the paper layer to pin it bag on the wood struckture with nails.

Jason Luong it just means that they can flip over the painting once they’ve done the necessary restoration to the back, and then be able to work on the front without damaging it. As I’m sure you’re aware there was that large crack in the painting that they had to fix, that was likely from the painting being flipped over in a not so safe manner.

Emilia Darquea no, they use nails/tacks to reattach the painting, it keeps it in place and is very reversible if you are careful. The nails are also stronger than something like staples so they can ho,d the weight of the large painting.

Marvelous masterpiece; except for this horrible square-toed shoe at 4:33. I can't believe there's people still using those ugly shoes to this day.

I used to love going to the met. But it feels lately like I'm not wanted there. Tehe ticket sellers are rude. The guards are still very nice but I don't know. The magic is gone.

I prefer the aged colors honestly

Byamba it’s not very good for the painting though, lots of details can be lost with yellowing, old varnishes, plus the original artist did not envision the painting that way, so it’s the job of the conservationists to simply make it closer to the original. It would be a shame to lose all of those details and more dramatic lighting anyways. However I can still see why you might prefer the darker colouring.

eh, looked better in the beginning.

Wish they'd stop arrogantly "restoring" paintings like this. More often than not they simply look better before the interventions. It's like the Sistine Chapel ceiling - so much of it was repainted you can hardly even call it the same painting anymore...

Simon Coles I personally think the painting looks even more incredible than it had beforehand. The varnish they used really brought out the colors which I am sure are just as saturated and similar to what it looked like back when it was first created.

Simon Coles Restoration is a delicate process and shouldn't in any way compromise the original work. I see nothing arrogant about it, also restoration =/= repainting. And for anything to last restoration is a must or these things just vanish in time.

+oR3Io I kinda understand where he come from. There was a case with Vermeer's "Lady holding a balance" where a restorator decided to repaint the light reflection on a picture frame in the painting. The addition was discovered using x-rays and the added paint was then removed. It is an example of how repainting can be an 'arrogant' kind of restoration, but in the case of the Met's above I say the repainting helped the painting more than compromised it; I would certainly not like to see bare patches of naked canvas on such a magnificent oeuvre :)

Simon Coles Modern restoration standards require that none on the original paint is covered by the retouching and everything is easily reversible. The example in this video is excellent work.
