Woah, that isn't just any Louvre painting, Liberty Leading the People is an important part of French history. The fact it was defaced to try to promote 9-11 truthers is really sad.

    The Louvre confirmed on Friday it had managed to save the painting as the black marker had not penetrated the upper layer of varnish and has been successfully removed

so it sounds like no real harm was done to it.
