I always love this story. I have always been a fan of art, in particular classical. I know people are horrified what happened but I always feel art chapters a time a moment a feeling and she did was a really unique moment and result.
I appreciate that it was a work of an artist and that has been lost with the alteration. But there are so many artworks like this. I also actually like her artistic style. I get annoyed at people questioning the merit. Art is in the eye of the beholder and should not be marked as lesser because it a master did not paint it.

Right? Like if someone decided to whitewash the wall this was on no one would have noticed. But now it’s a work of art recognized on the level of the Mona Lisa.
