20th Century Fresco Ruined by Amateur Restoration
I know, a little late because this story broke a few days ago, but for those who haven’t heard, a Spanish fresco from 1930 was botched in an amateur attempt to restore it by an 80-year old woman with good intentions. The middle image shows the fresco as it stood before the woman’s attempt, and the rightmost image is of her “fix.”

What do you think of this?
(Editor’s note: I can’t stop laughing at this, then I feel terrible for laughing because I remember that someone’s art was ruined. But then I look to ruined Jesus’ face and know that everything’s going to be alright. -@irockgnomes)
