Look at this beautiful Klimt's painting!

Yes they have, but paintings such as those are probably keeping conservators in full employ.
Go on to conservators sites and see the lengths they go to save paintings from the past, especially mid-century paintings when all knowledge of good craftsmanship was lost. Also notice the cartwheels they do trying to save works on paper.
I don't have any particular sites, because I was reading them for general information.
I use a canvas paper for quick color studies. There are quite a few brands out there.
