The article presents the opinion of French conservators, or rather ’’rentoilers”, i.e. people engaged with the doubling of paintings while using the same technique for nearly 300 years and perfecting it all the time. Conservation procedure in France is divided into operations connected with canvas (straightening, local repairs, strip reinforcing, doubling) done by ’’rentoilers” and operations concerning a painter’s layer (removal of varnish and repaintings, retouching), done by restorers. The French double on paste all paintings up to 19th- -century-old-ones according to the principle that this is a well-known material found useful in practice and not foreign to natural substances making the painting. Only paintings from the 20th century are doubled by means of synthetic glues. Wax-resin composition is used by the French very rarely. They think that wax changes a character of the painting; edges of the painting show a tendency to get rounded and the reverse, darkened and ’’greasy”, has an unpleasant appearance, not similar to the original. The article describes one by one stages of a French technique of paste doubling: protection of the facing, consolidation with the reverse, local repairs, reinforcing of a sub-painting by means of sticking a layer of gauze, removal of the protection, secondary protection of the facing, second pressing and fixing the painting onto a loom.
