9 In 1981, the Vatican announced plans to restore Michelangelo’s frescos in the Sistine Chapel. The goal was to remove layers of soot and reveal the frescos as Michelangelo intended them. The completed restoration made the frescos brighter and easier to see. The restoration continues to raise controversy as art historians debate whether the colors revealed were the same ones Michelangelo actually painted. Some people feel that the restorers stripped the work of well-worn age. Others believe they lovingly restored the ceiling to its original beauty.

Read this revised paragraph. In 1981, the Vatican announced plans to restore Michelangelo’s frescos in the Sistine Chapel. The goal was to remove layers of soot and reveal the frescos as Michelangelo intended them. After traveling to Rome last year, I can say that the completed restoration made the frescos brighter and easier to see. The colors made an already beautiful work of art brilliant. However, the restoration continues to raise controversy as art historians debate whether the colors revealed were what Michelangelo actually painted. Some people feel that the restorers stripped the work of well-worn age. I believe they lovingly restored the ceiling to its original beauty.
