    This is far more thorough and empathetic than I originally thought it would be, so I highly commend you. I've done light conservation work in the past...mostly varnish removal as well as surface dirt/tobacco staining, re-lining of disintegrating canvas, and VERY light retouching of lost color. None of it has been on anything remotely expensive or significant, but let me tell ya: it's still *daunting* work. One wrong move or miscalculation of how far you can edit/manipulate a piece of art and it could be damaged irreparably. Think of a surgeon working on an incredibly fragile patient. But the surgery doesn't last just a few hours; it goes on for days, weeks, months. When she got permission to fix the painting (which I believe fully she did, because if not and she did the work in the church -- even for a day -- someone would have seen it and stopped her. If she took it home to do the work, someone would have noticed it missing), the person giving the permission was probably just as unschooled on how much training and experience a good restorer must have. Essentially an art restorer must be both an artist AND a scientist... and they're quite expensive. Many institutions wouldn't be willing to pay what a fine art restorer would charge because on the surface to a lay-person, "they're just filling in the blanks." So they would jump at the chance for an artist/parishioner to do it out of love, if the parishioner honestly felt she could pull it off. If an institution allows a person to "restore" a piece for free or paltry amount (and they don't check references and examples of past work), they are essentially saying that the art is worth nothing to them and therefore they are the ones to blame if it goes wrong, not the artist. Ok, the artist is a bit to blame, too. ; - )

      Also, there are cultural artifacts from circa 35000 years ago, e.g. Lion-man of the Hohlenstein-Stadel. There is not only the current culture but many different cultures, each particular to a time and a place.

    As a dabbler in painting here's what I see: someone who is talented at painting landscapes and architecture. HOWEVER! Portraiture is difficult and way different than landscapes. With portraiture if you don't get the proportions or shading or shadows or anything else quite right you slide into the uncanny valley and roll right into either the demon desert or cartoon canyon. I often find myself frustratingly in the latter.

Don't get me wrong, his videos are amazing, but the fact that he's very arrogant in how he portrays his own skill and methodology, and how he's repeatedly gone after experts in the field with lawsuits, it's safe to say that there's a lot most of his viewers don't actually know about him

Of course, ideally you shouldn’t do it *over the original* but also the priest probably should’ve hired a professional or just left it if it wasn’t financially feasible.
