Our Paintings Conservator, Sarah, removed the varnish that was oxidized and yellowed when it initially came to us. The varnish had darkened over time, causing the artist’s intended colors to be obscured. Sarah removed this varnish layer with gels, and subsequently applied the isolation varnish, retouched the painting and applied a final varnish.

This oil painting came to us in poor condition, with thick layers of dust and surface grime, evidence of insect activity, planar distortion and paint losses. The most visually disturbing conservation concern was the varnish that was very uneven in its texture and gloss. The varnish had also turned yellow, dark and cloudy in several areas. Treatments included a detailed surface clean using an aqueous method, consolidation in the areas of loss, removal of the varnish layer and an application of both an isolating varnish and final varnish. Swipe to see her transformation!
Our client’s piece from the 1800s was covered in heavy layers of surface dirt, dust and ni****ne that were completely obscuring the artist’s original colors. The darkened, yellowed and oxidized varnish layer also wasn’t doing the painting any favors. Additionally, there were tears, paint losses and puncture holes that required everything from a detailed surface clean and adhesive removal, to moisture treatments for the planar distortions and the removal of the varnish layer.
