The sculpture's form allows for its legibility to be retained even if the paint layer has been severely lost like with this piece. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6196ba891c6e5f6e4a0b85d3/1645473271710-I6BUCC7E4TIIG4TD2GWJ/After_%2528whole%2529.jpg Portfolio - Cinquecento Sculpture Retouching using a vibrato brush stoke was the most desirable finish. This method allows us to clearly identify which parts of the paint layer are original and which are restored. Furthermore, it allows for the sculpture's age and aesthetic values to be preserved. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6196ba891c6e5f6e4a0b85d3/5f5b19b2-0abe-4635-a568-7538100cf4c1/IMG_1051.jpg Portfolio - Cinquecento Sculpture When the sculpture came in, a previous restoration had been carried out on its nose. The nose was disproportional to the rest of the piece and needed to be removed and replaced. Multiple insect flight holes needed filling and where the paint layer was altogether lost the retouching was chosen to imitate the wood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6196ba891c6e5f6e4a0b85d3/9be1276f-5407-4006-a097-34880fb6e467/IMG_1859.jpg Portfolio - Cinquecento Sculpture https://imogenwoollard.com/portfolio/michele-cortazzi monthly 0.5 2022-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6196ba891c6e5f6e4a0b85d3/64908a27-419d-450f-ae1d-ebe35df55048/IMG_1535.jpg Portfolio - Cortazzi https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6196ba891c6e5f6e4a0b85d3/1648113575145-I7OSLLQ2CXAXB3ZOZ8HS/done.jpg Portfolio - Cortazzi https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6196ba891c6e5f6e4a0b85d3/a7680766-b2aa-4630-9de6-f49f0e70d894/Before+detail+left.jpg Portfolio - Cortazzi Details to come... https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6196ba891c6e5f6e4a0b85d3/7a2878c0-c135-4306-8ddb-f10bb0f21c4c/after+detail+left.jpg Portfolio - Cortazzi https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6196ba891c6e5f6e4a0b85d3/1648116759206-P7KFT98I8CIE3WADYJNM/IMG_1538.jpg Portfolio - Cortazzi https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6196ba891c6e5f6e4a0b85d3/1648116847934-M7QNPXNKH459G9WB87Z8/DSCF0517.jpg Portfolio - Cortazzi https://imogenwoollard.com/portfolio/ridolfo-di-ghirlandaio monthly 0.5 2022-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6196ba891c6e5f6e4a0b85d3/1648117491795-PLQ5AQ0RPMH58D69PAXE/IMG_2301.jpg Portfolio - Ghirlandaio During cleaning https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6196ba891c6e5f6e4a0b85d3/429aeaaf-f282-483a-a888-a16a60686488/DSCF0558+copy.jpg Portfolio - Ghirlandaio After cleaning https://imogenwoollard.com/portfolio/sanmichele monthly 0.5 2022-02-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6196ba891c6e5f6e4a0b85d3/c7abfb4e-1fee-4280-a402-e614bc95982e/IMG_0249.jpg Portfolio - San Michele this painting arrived with a third of it missing. At some point it is believed someone made a smaller painting by reframing the image which the Saint Michael is pointing to. The edges of the canvas were becoming detached and it contained multiple holes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6196ba891c6e5f6e4a0b85d3/733cad6c-6164-4d2b-8068-6554e03081bb/After_%28whole%29.jpg Portfolio - San Michele The owner of this painting decided that they wanted the upper part removed and the piece reframed. After a strip lining treatment and placing onto a new stretcher, I applied imitative retouching where the paint layer was missing. https://imogenwoollard.com/portfolio/juliette monthly 0.5 2024-07-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6196ba891c6e5f6e4a0b85d3/1721820740706-ARYSH845R7XNGBKIUDLO/Before%2BJuliette.jpg Portfolio - Juliette https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6196ba891c6e5f6e4a0b85d3/1721820765242-9ZV7F8UCSCCN9VT6845O/After%2Bjuliette.jpg Portfolio - Juliette https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6196ba891c6e5f6e4a0b85d3/22f7d8e2-3d30-4615-acfe-aa0e9623e92e/Before+Juliette+arm+puncture.jpg Portfolio - Juliette https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6196ba891c6e5f6e4a0b85d3/920aedae-ba4c-44d2-bd1b-3553a585f088/After+juliette+arm.jpg Portfolio - Juliette https://imogenwoollard.com/portfolio/macchietti monthly 0.5 2022-03-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6196ba891c6e5f6e4a0b85d3/dabb898d-ebea-4930-b662-3de6cfa49419/Before_%28WholeMidClean%29.jpg Portfolio - Macchietti Before (mid-clean) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6196ba891c6e5f6e4a0b85d3/1643997207344-P41QF6TT8B5MQ88NTKY5/After_%252528whole%252529.jpg Portfolio - Macchietti After https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6196ba891c6e5f6e4a0b85d3/1643997265239-98PE8092SUJT4R5HQY2T/Before_%2528LegsDetail%2529.jpg Portfolio - Macchietti Before https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6196ba891c6e5f6e4a0b85d3/1643996982216-XER5NC6MOVW2GP3KUAAX/After_%2528Legs%2529.jpg Portfolio - Macchietti After https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6196ba891c6e5f6e4a0b85d3/e0d03feb-b7cf-40f5-9033-e165d2567e88/After_%28GiovanniBattista%29.jpg Portfolio - Macchietti After https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6196ba891c6e5f6e4a0b85d3/1643997450680-QU6OIKYEIPWDMGH0MCSJ/Before_%252528GiovanniBattista%252529.jpg Portfolio - Macchietti Before https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6196ba891c6e5f6e4a0b85d3/1643997574057-EZL16FL9YXGSRVDUF9G6/After_%2528Foot%2529.jpg Portfolio - Macchietti Perhaps one of the funnest and most challenging parts of this aesthetic restoration was the reconstruction of Satin John the Baptist's left foot. Relying on the details I had from the Saint's right foot, I was able to work out the shape of the missing parts on the left. A Rigatino finish was adopted to create a somewhat blurred effect, detracting the viewer's eye. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6196ba891c6e5f6e4a0b85d3/1643997748774-6YLE975MOQ8VHYOMX1II/Before_%252528FeetDetail%252529.jpg Portfolio - Macchietti https://imogenwoollard.com/portfolio/madonna-and-child monthly 0.5 2022-03-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6196ba891c6e5f6e4a0b85d3/d308207b-d562-41d5-917c-dbaa5d3bbead/Before+Full.jpg Portfolio - Madonna and Child https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6196ba891c6e5f6e4a0b85d3/951d43bd-3e74-47be-a59c-0856946cc5b5/After_Full.jpg Portfolio - Madonna and Child https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6196ba891c6e5f6e4a0b85d3/1647453358448-6Q2G0QLYABUQ1RLFSDF1/before%2Btop%2Bright.jpg Portfolio - Madonna and Child https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6196ba891c6e5f6e4a0b85d3/1647453298342-U5PTGRV39VSTUT1V9BO9/after%2Btop%2Bright.jpg Portfolio - Madonna and Child https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6196ba891c6e5f6e4a0b85d3/f6626693-5ca7-46dd-ac3a-e0de26238268/Before+Face.jpg Portfolio - Madonna and Child https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6196ba891c6e5f6e4a0b85d3/9a990f3e-6c3b-4d9c-8932-0ade24ae8200/After+Face.jpg Portfolio - Madonna and Child https://imogenwoollard.com/portfolio/bernardino-poccetti monthly 0.5 2022-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6196ba891c6e5f6e4a0b85d3/a9af92c6-1503-4ca5-9efe-e89a85168803/Bernardino_Poccetti%2C_predica_del_Battista%2C_seminario_maggiore_di_Firenze_02.jpeg Portfolio - Poccetti Images of the painting before treatment.
