[[Masaccio]] ''The Expulsion Of Adam and Eve from Eden'' (1426-28) fresco in [[Florence]], before and after restoration.
The fig leaves were added three centuries after the original fresco was painted, probably at the request of [[Cosimo III de' Medici]] in the late 17th century, who saw nudity as disgusting. During restoration in the [[1980s]] the fig leaves were removed along with centuries of grime to restore the fresco to its original condition.
