I think that when considering this question, it is important to consider that Comte was not seeing the future we live in now. Considering that fact, I am inclined to say that what you talk about is a coming together of the science and the arts, especially on the aesthetic level that we primarily see art for. The reason being, if the painting were not "old" we would have no need to restore them, so clearly by coming up with a science of restoring old artwork, we are expressing a need to not only restore, but enhance the original piece, because the restoration will never be like the original. It may even be better.
So I would say yes.
