While some old paintings may have a yellow or brownish hue to them, underneath the protective varnish may be a perfect painting, filled with lush colors and depth.
Art dealer and TV personality Philip Mould shared a series of videos to Twitter on Monday, which show the removal of varnish from an oil painting from the Jacobean (1603-1625) era.
“A remarkable Jacobean re-emergence after 200 years of yellowing varnish,” he wrote.
In the clip, a person can be seen with a small paint brush, wiping away the 200-year-old varnish from the oil painting. As the yellow varnish is removed, a lush and more colorful painting is revealed beneath it.
