Leonardo da Vinci @Louvre :: "The Virgin and Child With Saint Anne" was overcleaned . [Solvents affecting sfumato, his trademark painterly effect for blurring contours] - http://www.guardian.co.uk/artandd...
"The Louvre is facing accusations that it overcleaned a masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci, leaving it with a brightness that the Renaissance master never intended. Two of France's top art experts have voiced their protest by resigning from the Paris museum's advisory committee responsible for its "restoration." Such was their concern for the 500-year-old painting that Ségolène Bergeon Langle and Jean-Pierre Cuzin – eminent former specialists in conservation and painting respectively at the Louvre – could no longer associate themselves with its treatment." - Adriano
