Sauvetage d'une Vierge Espagnole : Immersion chez une restauratrice de tableaux

Hey bargain hunters! 👋 Today, a very special video. I fell in love with an 18th-century religious painting, probably of Spanish origin, but it was in a catastrophic state: tears, blackened varnish, canvas cut... I entrusted it to Carla, a painting restorer at Atelier KAYZI (https://www.atelierkayzi.com/), for an extreme rescue. On the agenda for this immersion: The technical diagnosis: Analysis under a UV lamp (Wood's lamp) to detect old restorations. The cleaning tests: We see the "flesh tone" (the skin color) reappear under the grime and old varnish. The secret of the pigments: How to fill the holes with filler and natural pigments. The final revelation: A month later, we discover the transformed painting. The hidden details (the Virgin's hand, the child's foot) are finally visible! Even though the cost of restoration is high, saving these objects from the past is my greatest passion. Thank you to Carla for her talent!
