At this point some of these “accidental” restorations have to be on purpose.
Never attribute malice to that which is easily explained by incompetence.
Hanlon, huh? There are times when i find this razor hard to apply. Especially when thinking of the government.
Only intentional malice could explain systemic corruption.
No law maker just coincidentally aligns their values with lobbyists after receiving six digit election campaign donations.
modern day relics: boost church attendance and pilgrimage by butchering one or your ancient sculptures or paintings. it’s about as honest as claiming you have the left testicle of joseph in your church.

Oh my God it’s the second coming of Ecce Homo
Mysterious ways, alright
Ecchi homo sounds like the name of a yaoi series…
I thought the lady with that gift had already died.
Reminds me of
this Trump picture
You dirty rat. You put that under the spoiler tag to sucker me into looking at that unholy thing.
I should not have clicked. It could have been something nice like tubgirl or goatse.
I always upvote a person of culture and taste.
Troma going all out to promote the Toxic Avenger movie.
There’s simply too many things to restore. They are building metro in my town now. They started working on a new line, digging under first street and boom, Roman graveyard. Had to examine and remove 500 graves before they could continue. It’s like that all the time. So yeah, sometimes people don’t wait for specialists or permits and fuck things up. It’s not that often and it happens to some less important works. It’s only in the news because it’s funny.

Better than I could’ve done…
I’m starting to think you don’t take art to Spain to be restored…
Damn, the after looks like a face after reconstructive surgery from being mauled by an animal.

It lookes like they ruined more than just the face. All the decorations to the right of the face looks different as well.
That can’t be accidental? Someone has a shitty humour.
Spain is on a roll.
Spain is just paying tribute to its 20th-century avant-garde heritage, i.e. Picasso and Dali.
