Hmmm, people keep referring to the subject of the painting as a woman… when I saw it I immediately thought it was a man… would be interesting to know more about the subject of the painting…

I choose to believe that Julian attended a crazy fun Halloween club concert and was jumping around, dancing, and singing loudly - and therefore his voice is just strained :D. On the way off chance that I'm wrong - I really hope that Julian gets better soon - whatever the reason.

This painting is definitely creepy...it's the kind that opens it's eyes when you're not paying attention to it but the second you see it and look over, the eyes are closed again.. its alwayssssss wattchhiiinngggg 👀

I may be totally wrong (frequently am!) but I think that may be a self portrait of the artist. It is dated 1944 which is just before he died in 1945. There is a pen drawing self portrait with a very similar piercing stare, fluffy hair and pointed chin. But then again it may be Harry Houdini's Grandmother (he was Hungarian).

For some reason, his slightly gone voice is still so satisfying to listen to

That painting is... haunting... yet somehow beautiful in a creepy sorta way. A solid pick for Halloween!

As a Hungarian, I'm so happy to see a Hungarian's work on your channel. You did a beautiful job !:)

Hey Julian, I hope you find time to take some well-deserved rest. Thank you for the content despite your being sick.

This is definitely one of my favorite paintings yet that you've showcased, definitely going to deep-dive into Viktor Erdei, I really like his style of work. Well done Julian, masterful work as always!

You're so right, the painting is almost hypnotic. it grabs your attention and doesn't let go. Also it sounded like you needed a throat lozenge or some water in the beginning

the painting reminds me of that old photo of Boris Karloff as Frankenstein's monster

Less than a minute in and I'm super excited about the cleaning of this one

I LOVE all the halloween-themed jokes and descriptors, this really was a sPoOkY painting. Thank you for providing us with yet another amazing restoration video, especially since you sound like you are a bit sick! Hope you get better soon, and thank you again ;))

You are the absolute GOAT of art restoration! I have been watching you do this since you started this channel and your level of professionalism, patience, and skill keeps me watching each art piece you bring before us. Thank you for allowing us all in to witness what you do. It's just inspiring.

You brought it out of the darkness. Now the darkness is looking back. I'm not easily spooked but it is a disturbing painting and even more so once wonderfully cleaned. Take care of yourself and feel better soon.

Left a like before watching. This man doesn’t disappoint.

I really love this one Julian. I could stare at this painting for hours, it makes me feel a range of different emotions. It has its own "haunting", beautiful or sad, it demands your attention and I love it. Your conservation work as always is just perfectly brilliant. Thank you Julian.

Julian I want to know how your conservation skills have impacted your everyday life. Has your woodworking helped with home renovation? Understanding of heat and moisture etc helped with cooking? Research and mentoring skills helped with parenting? Very random but I feel like there’s so much overlap in practical ways that we might not think of.

Julian, I know that doing these videos must take up a good deal of your time, but I’m so thankful you do - what a great job you’ve done once more on a slightly disturbing portrait. I look forward to all your videos, and can’t wait for the next one. I do hope that your throat gets better very soon.

This subject matter of this painting is deeply sad and somehow so unsettling. I'm very glad it isn't hanging anywhere I am likely to encounter it in person. The red eyelids! Perfect subject for a Hallowe'en episode.

I hope your cold/ sinus problem goes away. Thank you for all your beautiful videos on restoring Art. It's so important to keep these fantastic historical glimpses alive!

At a time when it tangibly feels like so much in our country, our society, our economy even our democracy feel like they are unravelling, tearing, being damaged it is important for the spirit to experience even small moments where things are being repaired, made stronger, made better, reborn. And Julian's calming voice and spirit (his dad's presence is tangibly there too through the son) is like a brief safe harbor from the storms. ❤❤

Ngl the initial state of this painting makes it absolutely perfect for Halloween

I absolutely loved this painting. Just like you said, "hauntingly beautiful".

Oh. Oh. My 105 year old grandmother has a painting even darker than this, that is I believe a portrait of an ancestor. I'm 53, and I remember this painting being brighter in my childhood - I would love to be able to get that painting cleaned while she's still here - she still has great eyesight. I doubt I can afford this process now or ever, but maybe someone can, some day....this is so amazing to watch.

It's always impressive how you pay attention to every tiny detail. Somehow I missed this video from a month ago, I don't always get notifications like I should. I can tell you are struggling with a very bad cold and I can feel your throat as you struggle with laryngitis. I hope you're doing much better and are taking care of yourself, put on an extra layer when you go outside into the cold! 💕🙏

Feel better, Julian! Nice Milton Avery in your studio! And say hi to Kit from us.

Julian is a hard worker. It’s clear he has been sick, but he still narrated the video for us.

In the old days, in that part of the world, a deceased body lay on the family's covered parlour table until the actual funeral. Which may explain the closed eyes. That's what this painting reminds me of.

Careful! Don't forget what happened to Dr. Janosz Poha when he was trying to conserve the painting of Vigo the Carpathian.

What a powerful , haunting painting. The line drawings in the opening montages were spectacular. And an impeccable conservation. I also think the conservation has added some darkness. Struggling with a nasty flu myself. Hope you feel better soon Julian.

I love the suble moments of Julian being creeped out by the painting 😂😂

How wonderful to have one's own studio and to have been apprenticed by a master of the craft. Getting to touch beautiful artworks everyday and being entrusted with their care...I am very jealous. In today's fast-paced, mass-produced world, these kinds of jobs are rare and precious.

Beautiful work. Love to watch your patient steps to refinishing. You are mesmerizing.

This is the kind of painting that stares into your soul. Now, that sounds like a great plot for a horror film.

Julian, I was an aircraft mechanic/technician/fabricator. We used the same vacuum system only we used it for making carbon fiber or fiberglass parts. we also had a kiln that we would put the part into. Essentially a large hot table. I love when you bag and vacuum paintings.

I can imagine this woman (for woman the subject is!), has seen a LOT. Perhaps a loved one lost in the war, perhaps her entire family lost. She looks well acquainted with grief and exhaustion. She's beautiful. Thank you for bringing her back from the dead.

I love these videos. It would be amazing to see a day-in-the-life of you in the studio! We could see just how much time you spend on different things throughout the day

🤣 I'm a month late but the spookified adjectives he's using are having me laughing out loud

As soon as Julian started describing the painting, I just knew that we were in for a long haul!!! Awesome job, Julian!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

One of my favorite parts is when you add the isolation layer before beginning the retouching. Things really come alive! I miss that moment in this video.

Another amazing restoration and fulfilling to watch it take place. All the Halloween words! If someone had come upon that painting and did not know the artist it could have been passed over and never come alive again. Thank you for sharing your skills.

19:48 "I skip through all the tacking because you've seen it all before," he casually says, like tacks being driving through a canvas lining into a stretcher isn't some of the most supreme ASMR I can get my eyes and ears on in this day and age.

i think its really cool how the painting when it came in looked like it was just all black, but as it got cleaned you could see it was actually dark green

I hope everyone has a great week ahead!

Hope you feel better man! Thanks for pushing through a script like this when your throat is not in top shape. I know it's not easy 😁

The fact that the background of the painting was dark green and not black shocked me and made the painting much more beautiful. Imagine not cleaning the whole painting but only the face, a crime :(
