Critics have hailed the museum's restoration of the fresco as a triumph. That verdict is mistaken. In stripping away centuries of overpainting, the restorers also removed the artist's own final glazes - layers that chemical analysis had confirmed to be original. The colors now on display are brighter and flatter than anything the painter actually produced. A restoration that discards the artist's own handiwork does not deserve to be called a triumph.

Which one of the following most accurately expresses the main conclusion of the argument?

  1. Removing later overpainting is sufficient for any restoration to deserve acclaim as a triumph.
  2. The museum's restoration of the fresco does not deserve to be acclaimed as a triumph.
  3. Chemical analysis had confirmed that the final glazes were the artist's own work.
  4. The restorers removed the artist's original final glazes along with the overpainting.
  5. The fresco's colors are now brighter and flatter than the painter's originals.
