FINAL PRODUCT .................................88 I. INTRODUCTION Copyright law can be effectively compared to the life cycle of a painting. Both begin with an original work that then experiences changes throughout its lifetime caused by damage and aging.! Depending on the materials used and the amount and quality of alterations the painting has undergone, the damage can cause a distorted view of an original painting.2 However, if a museum that has greater resources and access to technical equipment realizes the value of a painting, then an opportunity may arise for art historians, conservators, and scientists to restore the painting and essentially bring it back to life. * C 2019 Kathryn Penick.
