How's this for an Art Attack?

[Minty]

I love these real life Mr Bean moments.

The famous fresco "Ecce Homo" (Behold The Man) by Elias Garcia Martinez has taken pride of place in the Sanctuary of Mercy Church near Zaragoza for over a century. But as you can see in the middle copy, it has been suffering from the effects of the environment & was needing to be restored.




The church got a big grant and a donation from the painter's granddaughter to get the restoration job done, only for some daft old bat to decide she could do the job herself so the church could pocket the cash using paint she bought from the local shops.

Her handiwork can be seen on the right hand side, described by one horrified art critic as "a crayon sketch of a very hairy monkey in an ill-fitting tunic".

If she plays The Sims 3, her painting skill level must be 2 - "Canvas Cretin"!
