At last Saturday's art and crafts show, Stéphanie Boudet-Rol, who restores paintings, shared a stall with Marlène Voisin, whom you had seen here (along with her seal dog!) Can you see the restoration work in the middle of the painting on the right? Below, a different focus to show Marlène's gilding. Stéphanie's website is this way and Marlène's Art of the Gold Leaf is that way. VDP is fascinated by how these young ladies enable people to keep their treasures in good shape!
Au salon des métiers d'art de samedi dernier, Stéphanie Boudet-Rol, la restauratrice de tableaux, partageait son stand avec Marlène Voisin, encadreur-doreur que vous aviez vue à l’œuvre ici sur ce blog (avec son phoque chien). Vous voyez la restauration en cours au milieu du tableau de droite ? Le site web de l'atelier de restauration de Stéphanie est par ici, et l'Art de la Feuille d'Or de Marlène, c'est par là !
Art restoration... it takes amazing skill!
ReplyDeleteWonderful work, I love those painting, when I first looked at the second picture I though it was a lump of solid gold....must get out more..
ReplyDeleteTwo very talented young women, Ciel!
ReplyDeleteChallenging work, I would think.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work! It must take quite a bit of patience.
ReplyDeleteWe should be grateful to people like this for preserving our heritage. Without them, where would the palace be?
ReplyDeleteWonderful to have such a skill and to keep the past alive.
ReplyDeleteil faut encourager tous les métiers d'Arts
ReplyDeleteje crois que ce WE c'est le salon du livre d'histoire...
<l'art de la dorure et de k'argenture m'a toujours fascinée.
ReplyDeleteOh I know Ciel, restoring artwork is like art itself. Patience and skill, both of which I have none :)
ReplyDeleteSometimes real craftsmanship is much better than art...
ReplyDeleteVery talented!
ReplyDeleteTo do such restoration would take consummate skill and a very steady hand. Kudos to them!
ReplyDeleteSuch impressive work!
ReplyDeleteLovely! Great compositions, Ciel.
ReplyDeleteI'm in awe of people who can do work like this.
ReplyDeletePeople who restore and salvage old things, whether they be buildings or art, are heroes. The painting restoration looks like it will be beautiful.
