Do they suppose each generation told the next to add one more stroke to the painting? No, that would be silly.
More likely they improved on previous paintings through overpainting and rejuvenation. That's why you have multiple layers dating to different times.

It may have been a ritualistic thing that each generation worked on. It would be interesting to see how much change there was over that length of time.
