Remember that woman who fucked up that painting of Jesus in a Spanish church?

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

This story became even better! Love it. Shame the documentary won't air in the U.S.

Someone will post it on YouTube R1, they always do.

Another happy ending:

A duplicate of the original—painted by the same artist before he painted the one in the church—was found in the private collection of a local art collector.

In addition, the whole fiasco inspired both an opera [italic]and[/italic] a wine.

I loved it when Kate McKinnon would do her

Love this story. It always makes me laugh.

Aww, a happy ending. How rare to hear one of those.

I am sorry, but I find it rather sad that this old hag gets rewarded by the public for ruining a historical painting. It's that sort of attention that very well may encourage others to pull a similar stunt to get attention.

I agree with r8. It encourages copycats and it's really a terrible accident that should not be celebrated.

The old hag wanted a share of the royalties? What a delusional bitch.

The amateur retoucher isn't really at fault. It was the person responsible for letting her do it. Just as it isn't Trump's fault he's an incompetent president, it's the fault of all the assholes that put him in the White House and are insisting on keeping him there.

Was she given permission? I thought she did it without the church's knowledge.

Can't find it at the moment, but I found an article stating that one reason the fresco had deteriorated so much in the first place was the original artist's fault: He painted it using oils instead of watercolors.
