One man's crutch is another man's training wheels. The old masters used whatever was necessary to achieve their desired ends. They often had to get by using limited means because of limitations in available tools and materials. Regardless of what the purists think, they didn't intentionally set out to do things the hard way. The end not only justifies the means, it ultimately needs to stand on its own.
