Ecce Homo Fresco (Borja, Spain)
A fresco of Jesus painted in the Sanctuary of Mercy church in Borja, Spain, in 1930 by ElĂas GarcĂa MartĂnez was wearing away, so amateur art restorer Cecilia GimĂ©nez took it upon herself to “fix” it. The result was compared to a “blurry potato” and a “monkey.” Though at first the “restoration” of the minor work seemed like a disaster, the hilarious result has caused a tourist boom and led to brisk sales of all sorts of souvenirs.
