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.

Ecce Homo (the name actually means Behold the Man btw, it’s not the other homo related) is (kinda was) a painting by Elías García Martínez (some painter idk), and depicts Jesus. It is painted inside a church in Borja (
ItalySpain).Here it is before renovation:
In 2012 the painting was in not the best condition, and Cecilia Giménez a local woman attending the parish upset with its condition decided to restore it. I haven’t found much about her other than that she was 81 then, so she is 92 today. One thing that is for certain is that she was not a skilled artist. The results were as follows:
