The pictorial shortcomings, the gaps, the voids, are characteristic of the mural painting and not flaws. The current conservative state is the result of restoration and does not require any intervention by the final acquirer. Between the 18th and the 19th century in Italy, a considerable number of Italian painting masterpieces were pulled away and detached from the vaults of churches and chapels and from the walls of public and private buildings, where they stood for centuries, and were then transferred to safer places, into picture and art galleries in Italy and Europe.
