Elderly Woman Ruins 19th Century Fresco in Restoration Attempt
You gotta see this, she fucked that shit the hell up LMAO!!!!


It's one thing to stage a do-it-yourself renovation on a table, mirror or painting found deep in the weeds of a yard sale.
It's quite another to attempt a repair job on a one-of-a-kind 19th century fresco by the Spanish painter Elias Garcia Martinez with a few broad brushstrokes.

(Centro de Estudios Borjanos)
Such was the lesson learned by an elderly member of the Santuario de Misericodia church in Borja, in northeastern Spain. Her handiwork, or lack thereof, was discovered after the painter's granddaughter donated the work, "Ecce Homo," to the archive of religious paintings housed at the Centro de Estudios Borjano, also in Borja.

I think they should keep it like that.

It may very well become a tourist attraction and possibly even an inadvertent piece of cultural art because of the story behind it.

Sounds like she wasn't authorized to do that, in the first place. She might be senile, or something.

Or, if they want to restore it, can't they just sand it down a bit? A fresco has depth, the color is in the plaster.

I'd be interested in a knowledgeable reaction to my "crazy" idea.

Re: Elderly Woman Ruins 19th Century Fresco in Restoration Attempt
frescoes are made by adding pigment to the plaster as it is wet. so the colour becomes chemically part of the wall.....not added on afterwards.
so i think she must have just painted over top of the fresco.
it should really be too hard to remove her painting. but to do it, without damaging the old fresco underneath would be the tricky consideration.
