Ecce Homo fresco brought into the 21st century.
Cecilia Gimenez, a parishioner of Spain's Sanctuary of Mercy Church, decided to paint and revitalize the ancient fresoe painting by Elias Garcia Martinez.
Her lack of skill is apparent in the comparison of the photo's, however, the true genius of her work has yet to be appreciated.
Fresco's are incredibly difficult to paint on and renovate. The lime plaster makes changes to pigments incredibly difficult. It is a good thing Mrs. Gimenez wasn't told this, because after divine inspiration from what appears to be Mr. Bean, the elderly Gimenez justified her work by stating "Everybody who came into the church could see I was painting."
