    Good Lord, what have they done?

    Smithsonian article

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

      Oh my god that’s so bad how is it this bad

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

      You sure it’s not a onion article?

      My dear lord, how did they even get hired?

    How does this keep happening?

      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.

    It looks like they used Monkey Jesus as their reference picture…

    Honestly they should just own it. Have an entire wall of beatific potato head people.

    Work quality adjusted to pay and inflation, isn’t this what the market economy is all about ?

    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.
