week 6: Jennifer L.: Lens of Art Historian

I don't quite understand why Schilman was frowned upon and Evans was knighted. In my opinion, Evans restoring the old palace was MUCH more detrimental than how Schilman embellished his findings. Schilman brought more attention to the artifacts, even though it was exaggerated it brought light upon the art world. Evans took something sacred and made it new, lessening its historical importance.
