Comments from M Alan Jenkins:

"These very old oil paintings discourage me. The varnish becomes dark and obscures the details and they look 'dark' in the sense of sad and foreboding.
I watched a NOVA tv special about Leonardo da Vinci and his "Mona Lisa" One digital expert digitally "removed" the yellowed varnish and the results were astounding, to me. I have never see the real beauty of her until then.
I don't intend to convey any criticism, but this is only an opinion of mine. I think I would appreciate more old art if it could be seen in its original state."
