:38:00
when you talk to strange men.
:38:03
What do you do?
:38:07
I'm in land development,
real estate.
:38:10
Ah. Well, that sounds important.
:38:16
It's not.
:38:28
My name is Courtland.
:38:31
Michael Courtland.
:38:33
Happy to meet you.
I'm Sandra.
:38:36
Sandra Portinari.
:38:45
You've been doing this work
a long time?
:38:48
Oh, I'm not doing the restoration.
:38:50
I'm just a workman.
:38:52
But I prepare everything
for the specialist.
:38:55
You see, several years ago...
:38:58
long after the floods...
:39:00
moisture seeped into a portion
of the altarpiece...
:39:04
and it began to peel...
:39:06
revealing an older painting
underneath.
:39:10
Then the art scholars
had to decide what to do.
:39:13
Should they remove and destroy
a great painting by Daddi...
:39:18
to uncover what appears to be
a crude first draft underneath it?
:39:22
Or should they restore
the original...
:39:26
but never know for sure
what lies beneath it?
:39:30
What would you do?
:39:32
Hold on to it.
:39:37
Beauty should be protected.
:39:39
Good. That is what
the scholars decided to do.
:39:43
Now you have a free lecture,
and you don't have to read the brochure.
