When it comes to restoring paintings, I've found there are two approaches; historical and artistic. Historical approach being when a painting is looked at and examined within the confines of it's place and time in history. With artistic eyes a painting is seen in the present. We all wish we could've seen a Rembrandt fresh off the easel; smell the paint; feel the weight of the oils.
Alas, physicists have taught us we cannot go back in time. Painting restorers have learned that when we try to force paintings back in time, we fall short.
