Question - You're sure this is too dark? I've seen loads of destructive "restorations" in museums around the world, where they remove too much paint and destroy the painting. I'd much rather restorers were as conservative as possible (like one I know personally), rather than as aggressive as possible, and it's preferable to leave a painting a bit "too dark" than to damage it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:57, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It's a storm. The small tree is leaning over the wind and there are many spots of paint that evokes the leaves caught in the whirlwinds. In a very rare general way are the paintings of this museum which knew the restorations. I have many images that will not be published because the paintings are not to their advantage. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 05:16, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, this was not a point about restoration or cleaning. I love Corot's style and technique (I am a real impressionism fan) but when I've seen his pictures at the Musée d'Orsay and our National Gallery, I've always reckoned they are too dark. May be I just don't like gloomy pictures! Charles (talk) 09:22, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
