Oh my god that’s so bad how is it this bad
This can’t be real, at no point could any sane person look at that and think, whelp, my job here is done.
But someone might look at that and say “oh shit I’m so bad at my job. I’d better not touch it anymore or I’ll make it even worse”
As if the end result wasn’t already obviously bad enough, somehow seeing the original manages to make it worse…
You sure it’s not a onion article?
My dear lord, how did they even get hired?
How does this keep happening?
Apparently it’s a Spanish thing. From the article someone posted below (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/amateur-restorer-botches-carving-spain-180976271/)
Spanish law currently allows amateurs to repair historic artworks—a fact that has led many conservation experts to argue for tighter regulations in the industry.
Are the owners of the art just contracting the cheapest possible option?
Not even cheapest, they recruit friends and family.
Would be funny if the same lady was behind this.
“How does this keep happening?”
“She’s the minister’s niece…”
Well that was restored by Dr. Bean (apparantly)
It’s fine. After a few days the swelling will go down, and you won’t even know it’s a potato.
“Everyone thinks they’re not qualified to restore art, just fake it til you make it!”
“I’m somewhat of a art forgery expert myself”
