Conserving Everhard Jabach and His Family
When the painting came into the studio I was aware it was going to be time consuming but perhaps not the ten months it has taken.발음듣기
I didn't really know how the journey was going to progress in terms of the challenges of conservation and the solutions and the compromises.발음듣기
This varnish is probably at least 100 years old very thickly applied so it's discolored very, very strongly indeed.발음듣기
What always tends to happen is the varnish takes a little while to swell and then it sort of lifts away very cleanly from a paint surface like this.발음듣기
Taking a really, really discolored varnish off a superbly preserved paint film is really satisfying.발음듣기
When the painting was turned over a smaller stretcher the beginning of the 20th century it caused obviously a rupture in the paint film.발음듣기
The bigger problem in a sense was almost caused when it was turned back expediently in 2012, resulting in a lot of distortion and that distortion basically bisected the picture.발음듣기
The painting is a rather stiff structure and so the issue was to carefully take out that distortion to bring the whole support back into plane.발음듣기
Once it was off the stretcher and the strip lining had been removed and the excess wax had been removed my time was taken with the structural intervention.발음듣기
The tube will be used to roll up the entire painting so that it can be turned over so that the face is visible.발음듣기
Your eye isn't interrupted by that unfortunate severe distortion at the top of the canvas where it had been turned back and part of the picture's history.발음듣기
Varnish in this period of painting the main role is optical and in order to get the full tonal value of the colors and tones, you need a saturating varnish.발음듣기
Where it's cleaned and is without varnish at the moment it's rather matte and desaturated so a final stage in the treatment will be to apply varnish.발음듣기
Essentially, the picture is in wonderful condition but there's obviously retouching needed along the break.발음듣기
That final phase enhances its elegance and the little bit extra saturation really allows all the spatial relationships that Le Brun has created to have their full impact.발음듣기
This is the first time any of us have been able to see it in the galleries and to think back to what was always a very impressive painting.발음듣기
But was affected very badly by the varnish by the previous structural issues it had to now see it join the collection in its full glory is truly marvelous.발음듣기
