If you are curious about the answer, you will find mine below: At that very time there was a sudden break with the times before. With the industrial revolution, man's environment began to change in such a way that poets and writers romanticized nature, as well as the past. Romanticism had begun. Young fields such as Psychology, Archaeology and Biology took off. New materials such as concrete and steel provided a break with the past in terms of possibilities and forms of expression. People in that century who were on the cusp of a new age for men; where the cityscapes of Van Eyck disappeared on the horizon. The restorations in the 19th century were indeed not informed by sufficient knowledge, it shows how people thought what it should have been originally or how it should have been completed. In Europe, many of the 19th century restorations were undone where they could, when one could find out what it had been like, for example. As an example, many changes to dispositions in church organs have been undone in this way in more recent times, based on historical-scientific insights. Often nineteenth-century changes turned out not to be an improvement but a fad. Later, with the flight of the scientific method and appreciation for objective knowledge came the realization that if we want to preserve valuable things from the past, we will have to conduct research so that we can restore in a responsible way. So for the same reason, we will not modify the Night Watch to suit our current tastes, thankfully. The Night Watch is not dead, quite the contrary.
