It’s like that scene from Mr. Bean. Or was it Johnny English?

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.

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.

Hmmm. Not sure of which scene, but anything with Rowan Atkinson is valid!

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.

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?
