When art restorers began working on the Sistine Chapel ceiling in 1980, they faced the daunting task of reversing centuries of soot accumulation. Over the years, candle smoke, dust, and animal-fat varnishes had obscured Michelangelo's brilliant frescoes under a thick, dark crust. Using a gentle solvent wash, the conservationists painstakingly lifted the grime layer by layer. Critics initially worried that the process would strip away the artist's original detailing. However, the restoration ultimately revealed that Michelangelo had employed a far more vibrant color palette than previously assumed. Rather than the somber, muted tones long associated with the High Renaissance, the frescoes actually boasted brilliant pastels, [1] which were super bright and totally popped in the restored light.

This step determines whether the original text is appropriate or if a change is required.
3
Assess the remaining options for tone register, wordiness, and redundancy.
