History of art restoration
A provisional introduction to the people, practices, institutions, and ideas that have shaped the care of artworks.
Early practices
Repair, maintenance, and workshop knowledge
Long before restoration became a distinct profession, artworks were cleaned, repaired, adapted, and maintained by artists, craftspeople, dealers, and custodians. Their interventions responded to use, taste, damage, and the changing environments in which objects were kept.
Eighteenth–nineteenth centuries
The emergence of specialised practitioners
The growth of collections, the art market, and public museums encouraged more specialised forms of practice. Directories, account books, labels, invoices, and institutional records begin to make individual restorers, workshops, addresses, and professional networks more visible.
Twentieth century onward
Documentation, science, and changing ethics
Restoration increasingly developed alongside conservation science, technical examination, professional training, and written codes of practice. Ideas about authenticity, reversibility, minimal intervention, and documentation continue to evolve across specialties and regions.
About the project
Art Restorers Atlas documents restorers, workshops, addresses, stamps, labels, artworks, and archival traces from 1750 to 1950.
Collaborative research
Art Restorers Atlas is the only guide dedicated to art restorers. Led by Guillemette Caupin, it is an evolving research project that progresses through archival work, research contributions, and the sharing of documented sources.
Research scope
The project began as a directory of painting restorers active in Paris between 1750 and 1950. Its aim is to document a wider field over time: other restoration specialties, other regions, and other continents.
Acknowledgments
Thanks to Martin, who generously set up the site with Maurice's help.

Privacy & legal notice
Last updated July 18, 2026. This notice explains how the atlas handles account, research activity, and contribution data.
Activity information
While you are signed in, the atlas records authentication events, pages and restorer records consulted, search text and result counts, and contribution events. These records can include your account and session identifiers, resource identifiers, event metadata, browser User-Agent, and the date and time of the activity.
Why it is used
Activity information supports attributable research use, account and service security, operation of the research project, and improvements to atlas search and navigation. It is not presented as historical source evidence.
Retention
Activity events are automatically deleted after 12 months. Account information and research contributions are separate records: accounts are retained to provide sign-in and attribution, while accepted, rejected, and pending contributions are retained for editorial and research traceability unless they are removed by the project operator.
Service providers
Cloudflare hosts the site, API, database, file storage, and administrator identity checks, and therefore processes technical request and administrator identity information. The configured email delivery provider processes your email address and one-time sign-in message solely to deliver authentication codes.
Accounts and submissions
Your email address is used to create and secure your atlas account and to attribute signed-in activity. Submitted materials are stored for research review and may be used to improve atlas records after editorial validation.
