Any older work of art has two authors: the artist who created it and the time that added the patina that contributes so much to the work's charm. A few centuries turn the sole original author into a mere collaborator on his own work.
"Romanian
"Orice operă de artă mai veche are doi autori: artistul care a plăsmuit-o și timpul care i-a adăugat patina, ce contribuie în așa mare măsură la farmecul operei. Câteva secole prefac pe unicul autor inițial în simplu colaborator la propria lui operă."
