From the loss of the original image, faded as it was? Art is... individual. It means something unique to each person who views it. What I feel was lost may not be what the woman who repainted it felt was lost.
I feel that her intentions were good, and honest. However perhaps to the people who viewed Ecce Homo each time they visited the church, it would be the equivalent of allowing somebody to storm the Louvre and repaint the Mona Lisa because they felt her enigmatic smile needed restoration.
