Restoration Review "The Last Supper"

            
             In my opinion the restoration of the "Last Supper" by Leonardo De Vinci was necessary to salvage at least part of Leonardo's original work. I have always appreciated the character that years of patina add to furniture and probably would have appreciated the same in the "Last Supper". If I were to have seen it prior to it's restoration and was unaware of all the previous attempts I would have felt they should have left it alone and would have thought the restoration was too much. Keeping in mind that Barcilon did uncover some of Leonardo's original work was worth the restoration. I do however believe that the retouching should have been done in the same mediums as the original works and a protective coating adhered for future preservation.
