Michelangelo's David is one of the world's great works of art. It is also the focus of a row between its restorers and James Beck, an artist, art historian and founder of ArtWatch International. He says the clean-up is destroying the history of the statue.
Are we meddling too much? Should artists rather than scientists be in charge of restoration?
