Imagine the level of expertise, experience, trust, and ... insurance policy premiums required to restore, oh, say, the Mona Lisa.![]()
Must mention this most unfortunate project.
Good thing this amateur was kept away from Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel.
SNIP:
The intervention transformed the painting and made it look similar to a monkey, and for this reason it is sometimes referred to as Ecce Mono (roughly Behold the Monkey, "mono" being Spanish for "monkey"). The work has not been re-restored, instead it became an educational and tourist attraction.
