Thanks! A few years ago I enjoyed a documentary on the restoration of Leonardo’s Salvator Mundi, I’m looking for that one, probably should check for the saved file of it. :^)

You’re welcome. I thoroughly enjoy watching the episodes where they have art restorers and conservationists cleaning the paintings, putting them under x-ray and ultra-violent light to see if anything shows up, like a previous painting on the same canvas, that isn’t visible to the naked eye. It amazes me how they use a cotton swab and special chemicals to reveal and uncover years of grime and varnish, and discover parts of paintings that weren’t visible until being cleaned. I think I would find it very relaxing, and satisfying, sitting there with a pair of magnifying glasses on, and slowing cleaning and revealing a painting, returning it to the way it looked when it was first painted.
