There is already a thread for vintage art (Seeking New Designs made from Vintage Art), this one is for really old art, historical paintings and drawings, art history stuff.

This is also a thread were you can show off your digital restoration work. I know that many of us do a lot of editing to optimize an old artwork for printing. 

For example, with this sweet 19th century Madonna painting there was (among other things) an awful lot of cleaning...!
