<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 51073, member: 37&quot;]That craquelure is getting a bit out of hand.&nbsp; Looks like the paint and ground is starting to separate from the canvas.&nbsp; I imagine that would be a very tedious project to put right.&nbsp; I wonder if there would be a way to clean and stabilize the painting without addressing the full restoration of the craquelure?</p><p><br /></p><p>It seems that if the painting were cleaned, that you could tint the white showing in the cracks and seal the whole thing with varnish to improve the appearance and seal it from further damage.&nbsp; While this might not be the correct approach toward restoration, I don&#039;t see what harm can be done if the cost of restoration exceeds the value of the painting.&nbsp; You could use a removable varnish so that the process could be reversed down the road if warranted.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
