Most paintings come to museums framed by dealers or patrons, not by the artists, and curators have often felt free to update.

These are the people who know they are right. One always wishes to press a copy of the Sermon on the Mount into the hands of a militant Reaganite Christian. Reagan also identified himself with those Christians who believe that Armageddon, the fiery consumption of the earth, is imminent, and it unsettled some voters to think of a President with the nuclear button close at hand who suspects the Apocalypse is inevitable...
