In 1999, the Minneapolis Institute of Arts exhibition "Restoring a Masterwork" followed the process of conserving Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione's The Immaculate Conception with Saints Francis of Assisi and Anthony of Padua.
This five-part video documents each step of the restoration process, from the painting's removal from the gallery to its eventual re-installation. During the restoration project, segments of this video were screened in the gallery as they were produced. http://www.artsmia.org/restoration-online/
I would be so nervous to try and restore one of those paintings.
I wouldn't want to be known as "the dude that ruined the masterpiece".
