they remove the overpaint and show and repaint the original using x-ray and shit

Not sure how to feel about this one.

Is this a Fresco? how hard is it to just get a PROFESSIONAL Fresco study? like before letting the painters undergo these have them 1st recreate a smaller fresco on a canvas or something, like there have been successful thieves that have done better jobs making mockups of famous art and these mother fucker can't find ONE person to not mangle their remaining Fresco's ?

It needed restoration anyway, better to go with the original, as that would be the true artists intentions. This depiction of the lamb of God was quite common, wasnt it? Stop whining abou it guys c'mon

>the true artists intentions
the true artist just didn't have the skill to draw animals, a lot of them didn't back in the day

On the one hand, yeah, it's the true original. On the other hand, it was beg shit and people had been enjoying the other version for 5 centuries.

HOLY CRAB
>Looks better
>They just couldnt paint animals

Yes, they could paint animals anatomically correct when this was made. But it was common to depict animals that had a connection with God more human-like, such as the front facing eyes and such. This is because it was seen as a sign of intellegence, and it was something more than just an animal. Same as painting children like small, older adults to show them as wiser.

And even if this was the best they could do, shouldnt the original still be preserved? You speak like you would want medival paintings painted over because they lacked perspective and were ""BEG""

Btw, the artist is Jan van Eyck, the old master, and these faggots are calling him /beg/

[Anonymous No.6987320]

>>6986969
No, you dumb motherfucker. Van Eyck has realistic horses painted in the same polyptych this comes from. He drew it like that because it's the lamb of god, which was usually painted with humanoid features.

I mean that’s kinda a foolish way of putting it. Where do you draw the line between lacking skill and intentional choice? It would be like overpainting Baroque art to the standards of Neoclassicism.
Even if it was early 15th century Northern painting containing primitive aspects of the Gothic period, what’s the point of changing it? Giotto had a very shitty sense of perspective, but should we completely fuck his frescos up because it’s not “correct” enough for today?

Seeing them nowadays just reminds me of Kyle Katarn, which reminds me of what Disney did, which just makes me sad.

Caravaggio's David and Goliath has been very recently "restored" by Prado Museum in Madrid. The drapery in David's arm has been completely ruined.
You will not find news of this anywhere.
