Ecce Homo (again)

Vous vous souvenez de la « restauration » de la fresque en couverture ? Eh bien il est arrivé la même mésaventure à une autre œuvre, toujours en Espagne.

Ce serait drôle s’il ne s’agissait pas d’art...

Merci Klara Mrsic pour le partage.

#Enjoy !

PS : on a retrouvé le modèle ayant servi à la restauration, voir en fin de post.

Second Spanish church falls prey to well-intentioned restorer

For 500 years, the painted wooden effigy of St George that adorns a chapel in the Spanish city of Estella has been locked in a silent struggle against his old foe, the dragon. Today, however, the saint faces a different battle thanks to a feat of restoration that has prompted comparisons with the infamous " Ecce Homo Monkey Christ " and exasperated the mayor.
