Two French art experts have quit The Louvre’s advisory committee in a row over the restoration of a Leonardo da Vinci painting, according to reports.
Segolene Bergeon Langle and Jean-Pierre Cuzin resigned in protest over the cleaning of The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne, The Guardian said.
The pair claim the Paris gallery has over-cleaned the 500-year-old masterpiece.
They argue it has left the work with a brightness the artist never intended.
