I’ve seen kindergarten children do better portriates.

Maybe h can just tell people it’s abstract art.

This keeps happening to religious artworks. Purposeful destruction?

umm I think I’d have it checked to make sure it’s the same painting..... cleaning it should not have done that. An expensive lesson learned and possibly ruined forever.

Not too many artists around with the talent of the Renaissance painters.

Hmm... similar to that Jesus painting in a church that an old woman destroyed a few years ago, also in Spain.

What is it about Spaniards?

The Valencia owner of The Immaculate Conception of Los Venerables by baroque artist Bartolome Esteban Murillo said he paid $1,356.69 to have a furniture restorer clean the painting, but the attempt destroyed the face of the Virgin Mary.

 

Ya get what ya pay for, folks. I bet that's the last time this guy picks Craigslist as the place to find a furniture restorer to fix up a maserpiece.

Anyone know how many dineros this Murillo painting would have fetched had the face not been botched?

Um. . .he allowed someone to do this without examining the ‘restorer’s’ other work? I also can’t imagine a competent art restorer to work on an old master like that for only $1,300. You get what you pay for.

Did a Furniture Restorer really restore this painting?

Or a tattoo artist?

Dumb to let a furniture restorer tough this art.

This is akin to the fiasco in Spain a few years back where a fresco was “restored” and looked afterwards like a monkey.

Being that the painting is Baroque, he had to fix it.
