LOL! Yeah, that’s about it…

On the other hand, thank you for posting this picture. I actually just spent 15 minutes going down the Ecce Homo rabbit hole. What a story, this disaster of a restoration turned into an absolute boon for the town.

Same!

I had no idea the woman actually was in the middle of her restoration, left for a two week holiday, and came back to a verifiable shit storm.

She recently passed away too. Its interesting to see that the town get more popular as a result of it and she became a mini-celebrity despite the outcry of hate for the new painting by the international community.
All notoriety is good notoriety

was in the middle of her restoration

I mean, no restoration that I’ve seen is done like that, by repainting over large swathes of the original.

So? She had permission to do it. The hate she received was completely unjustified
Did she say upfront that she was gonna do absolute garbage of a job, that not even a first-grade college student would do?

No one knows the level of job she was gonna do because she didn’t finish!

You are being extremely rude to a person that was beloved in the town. The hate was not from the fellow neighbours, was internationally. If you wanna criticise some one criticise the priest in change of the church that gave her permission to do so.

The priest even attempted to cover the painting to save her of the hate, in proof that he still was wanting to protect her, but the mayor of the town decided not to, since the amount of tourism actually brought money to the town.

Did you miss the fact that she redrew over the entire painting? What she did is not restoration in any sort of way, so it doesn’t matter what the end result might’ve been. Watch any videos on how actual restoration is done.

What you’re saying is “yeah she was hired to pluck a nose hair and instead sliced my whole face with a knife, but we don’t know the job she’d do if she were allowed to finish”.

It’s like that scene from Mr. Bean. Or was it Johnny English?
Hmmm. Not sure of which scene, but anything with Rowan Atkinson is valid!
Pretty sure it was that Mr Bean movie where he goes to America. I think the premise was Bean was accompanying a painting from England (they sent him to get rid of him for a while) and at some point he gets something on the painting, tries to clean it, and paint comes off, too. Then he fixes it and his host either starts crying or trying to attack him.
I think that was Johnny English…
