“Botched Art Restoration in Spain Renders Smiling Statue Unrecognizable. A disfigured carving in Palencia is the latest in a growing list of bungled conservation attempts by amateurs ”

Spain is no stranger to botched art restorations. In 2012, a local parishionerʼs disfiguring update to Elías García Martínezʼs Ecce Homo went viral under the moniker Monkey Jesus; in 2018, a woman in the village of Rañadorio was sharply criticized()(この部分は著作権法上の理由から掲載することができません。)

th

-century shrine in bright shades of chartreuse, pink and blue.

Given these and other instances of failed restorations, news of a public sculptureʼs recent transformation into a misshapen lump was unwelcome but unsurprising, reports Spanish newspaper ABC.

Prior to the bizarre reimagining, the sculpture̶part of a bank façade in the city of Palencia̶depicted a smiling woman surrounded by cattle and livestock. Because the building was completed in 1923, the figureʼs downturned features were understandably weathered, but they remained recognizable, according to online news site Público.

Now, the carving is essentially ruined, with some observers saying that it more closely resembles Donald Trump or Mr. Potato Head than a female figure.

Local painter Antonio Guzmán Capel, who uploaded photos of the artistic travesty to Facebook after spotting it last week, decried the restoration, writing, “It looks like a cartoon character.”

Capel went on to accuse the “restorer” of wrongdoing.

“Iʼm sure whoever did it got paid for it,” he added, per a translation by the Independentʼs Kate Ng. “But the bigger crime was committed by the person who commissioned it and then tried to carry on as though nothing was wrong.”

Capel tells CNNʼs Jack Guy that he has yet to identify who commissioned or carried out the work.

“I donʼt understand why they allow it,” he says. “It doesnʼt seem normal to me.”

Professional restorers echoed Capelʼs assessment, taking to social media to denounce the amateur attempt.

“THIS #IsNotARestoration,” wrote Spainʼs Professional Association of Conservators and Restorers (ACRE) on Twitter, adding, “Itʼs a NON-professional intervention.”

In addition to the aforementioned “restorations,” amateur artists in Spain have bungled a copy of a 17

th

-century painting of the Virgin Mary and a 500-year-old statue of St. George. Last June, the wooden sculpture̶which ended up looking more like the cartoon character Tintin than a legendary dragon slayer after a well-meaning paint job went south̶underwent a $34,000 “unrestoration” aimed at regaining a semblance of its original appearance.

Spanish law currently allows amateurs to repair historic artworks̶a fact that has led many conservation experts to argue for tighter regulations in the industry.

“Can you imagine just anyone being allowed to operate on other people? Or someone being allowed to sell medicine without a pharmacistʼs license? Or someone whoʼs not an architect being allowed to put up a building?” said Fernando Carrera, former president of ACRE, to the Guardianʼs Sam Jones in June.

Despite facing backlash, some communities known for botched restorations have actually managed to capitalize on these slipshod repairs. The Santuario de Misericordia in Borja̶home of Monkey Jesus̶became a tourist attraction following an elderly churchgoerʼs transformation of its 1930s painting of Christ. As Jones reported for the Guardian in 2018, visitors can purchase bottles, pens, mugs, T-shirts, fridge magnets and keyrings featuring the infamous image. (2)

“It was a media phenomenon, but itʼs also been a social phenomenon when it comes to helping people,” Borjaʼs mayor, Eduardo Arilla, told the Guardian. “If it hadnʼt happened, maybe Borja would have become famous for something else, like its wine. But we wouldnʼt be as well-known as we are now.” (3)
