    As if the end result wasn’t already obviously bad enough, somehow seeing the original manages to make it worse…

      This can’t be real, at no point could any sane person look at that and think, whelp, my job here is done.

    Would be funny if the same lady was behind this.

    “How does this keep happening?”

    “She’s the minister’s niece…”

      She didn’t do the Ronaldo one, someone else did. It would be hilarious if she had done all 3, but I find it equally hilarious that they’ve allowed 3 different people to crap the bed this badly…

    Apparently it’s a Spanish thing:

    Spanish law currently allows amateurs to repair historic artworks—a fact that has led many conservation experts to argue for tighter regulations in the industry.

      Are the owners of the art just contracting the cheapest possible option?

      It’d be extremely hilarious if we didn’t irrevocably destroy a piece of history every time it happens.

  Not sure if this is true or not, but I remember reading somewhere that some artists intentionally botch historical art restorations for publicity and to drive more visitors to see it in person

  It’s fine. After a few days the swelling will go down, and you won’t even know it’s a potato.

  Just another example of derivative imitations saturating the art market.
