Retouching glare in oil-paintings

Dear all, I frequently visit musea where I photograph paintings, sometimes these are available through their websites, sometimes only in low resolution. Besides having a challenge to arrive at the correct color depiction (not my question of today blush: ) frequently light reflecting from oil-paint is causing multiple spots of overexposure. In this case (tower of babel: Pieter Bruegel) on the Top Right. My question: what approach would you recommend to remove these annoying spots … Thank you for advice.
