BBC News - Spanish fresco restoration botched by amateur
"Spanish fresco restoration botched by amateur

An elderly parishioner has stunned Spanish cultural officials with an alarming and unauthorised attempt to restore a prized Jesus Christ fresco.
Ecce Homo (Behold the Man) by Elias Garcia Martinez has held pride of place in the Sanctuary of Mercy Church near Zaragoza for more than 100 years.
The woman took her brush to it after years of deterioration due to moisture.
Cultural officials said she had the best intentions and hoped it could be properly restored.
Donation
The woman, in her 80s, was reportedly upset at the way the fresco had deteriorated and took it on herself to "restore" the image.
BBC Europe correspondent Christian Fraser says the delicate brush strokes of Elias Garcia Martinez have been buried under a haphazard splattering of paint..."
 
Oh Gods I can't quit lauging over this!
It's so pathetic and painful to look at, yet it's so hilarious! And I feel a kind of giggly shame over laughing!

Poor lady had no idea what she was getting into.

No this is sad. Mel Gibson The Passion sad. She gave him alien eyes. Is that his tongue sticking out? Is he being strangled by a scarf? The crown of thorns became a furry cap. I sense some profound message in all of this, but it escapes me like the name of that character actor with the one googly eye.

lollllll
 
The painting is fu... damn small to begin with, it's at a sidewall of the church and actually wasn't that important up until the 'caveman' emerged. Got to love the woman for trying though . :p
Never curb your enthusiasm, spanish granny.
 
There is a phobia of men with beards and if you look at the, ahem, 'restored' piece, she has obliterated all signs of his beard. Of course monkeys are hairy but I don't think they have beards?
