I’m tired after work, playing Stellaris MP against my better judgment, and here – the Hole is expiring, again… Maybe my next refreshment post will be meaningful (finally), but this one is ad Hoc like the last few.
Anyway, lately I saw Ecce Homo in a comment here and some people were not familiar with. So I thought I’ll post it again because it’s funny.
I had a backstory for it written up, but I decided to ditch it, since I assume 90% of people are aware of it. I may post it in the comment for posterity. Or not.
Some people think the restoration is disrespectful, I disagree. It’s actually a genuine attempt of a religious woman to try to restore a piece of art, rather than an act vandalism or anything malicious. Criticizing her irresponsible decision to restore it on her own is understandable of course. Critizising her art skills is more than warranted.
Apparently many journ*lists said the original painting was of low artistic value (even Wikipedia says that they said that, why should care what they think?). While I find it unremarkable, it’s functional, and competency crafted. Saying it’s better now is a bit disrespectful towards the original painter who had more skill than any Journo.
Anyway, that’s that, what even was the point I don't know, I'm tired, goodnight, bye.
