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.
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.
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 in beloved in the town right now. 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 decorate my cake and instead she shat all over it, but we don’t know the job she’d do if she were allowed to finish”.
She was obviously mentally deranged, and only a very simple-minded person would defend what she’s done. The priest was evidently protecting the handicapped woman from ridicule and her ‘work’ from being displayed. The fact that the shit cake is now a tourist attraction changes none of this.
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.
LOL! Yeah, that’s about it…

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!

Nah it was Mr Bean.

I’m pretty sure that’s Johnny English, and the youtube title is wrong
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.
Edit: oh and she had permission to attempt the 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?

You’re straight up roleplaying this meme:
Yeah, people definitely buried the lede on that one.
