Answer 1

The preservation controversy over Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel frescoes involves debates on the restoration efforts that might have inadvertently damaged the original works.

Step-by-step explanation:

The preservation controversy that developed over the years relating to Michelangelo's paintings in the Sistine Chapel centers on the restoration efforts that began in 1979. The project aimed to clean and repair the ceiling frescos, removing soot and dirt accumulated over 500 years, and addressing cracks in the plaster. While the intention was to restore the works to their original glory, the restoration was controversial, with debates ensuing over whether the cleaning process might have removed not just the grime but also a layer of the artist's original work, and thus potentially altered the frescoes' appearance. Critics of the restoration argue that in attempting to conserve the frescoes, well-meaning conservators may have inadvertently caused damage to Michelangelo's masterpieces.
