  1. The most famous Spanish painter of the 21st century.

    What a loss for Spanish culture.

    Thoughts and prayers from this side of the border

  2. I can remember the day the news came out. I must have had a shitty week without laughing, but I couldn’t stop laughing all morning. Not at her, but at the absurdity of the situation. So I will always remember her with a smile.

  3. This genuinely makes me sad. She was just a well meaning old lady who turned a forgotten painting rotting in a church into a worldwide sensation. No one would care about the original painting if it wasn’t for her.

    This lady genuinely represented the Spanish spirit: do something with all your good intentions, make a chapuza, somehow the chapuza turns into a great, mold-breaking creation that brings joy to the world.

  4. Nooo…… 🙁

    And i remember reading that she had plans to continue but took a break when she returned she was in this clusterfuck

  5. Spanish people famously cannot paint faces. Look at Picasso or Salvador Dali. This lady actually did a really good job considering the disability she was living with.

  6. I still have Beast Jesus as my profile picture on quite a few websites, including MS and some other work-related accounts. It’s staying that way.

  7. So in order of how the painting works, (from left to right) we have the finished retouched work, the damaged original and the *”holy mother of God WTF did you do!”* that brought world-wide attention to that lost artwork and the local restorer.
