Another botched art restoration in Spain leads to calls for regulation

Conservation experts in Spain have called for a tightening of the laws covering restoration work after a copy of a famous painting by the baroque artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo became the latest in a long line of artworks to suffer a damaging and disfiguring repair.
A private art collector in Valencia was reportedly charged €1,200 by a furniture restorer to have the picture of the Immaculate Conception cleaned. However, the job did not go as planned and the face of the Virgin Mary was left unrecognisable despite two attempts to restore it to its original state.
The case has inevitably resulted in comparisons with the infamous “Monkey Christ” incident eight years ago, when a devout parishioner’s attempt to restore a painting of the scourged Christ on the wall of a church on the outskirts of the north-eastern Spanish town of Borja made headlines around the world.

Why in the frick would you hire someone who restores furniture to restore a painting?

That wasn't a botched restoration. That was a protest. All is fine. No worries.

That is a beautiful original.

Is there stronger language to describe the “cleaning?”. Looking at the original I feel like there needs to be stronger language used here, like totally and completely destroyed. That’s bad

I doubt a girl from the eastern mediteranian looked so northern euro.

Canaanites/Phoenicians were pretty crackery.

Yea, the article is confusing with the language. Hell of a copy though.
Makes you wonder what kind of private collector would only spend €1,200 on a cleaning, but it’s not an original. I would like to know what they paid for it.

Copies can be valuable themselves if done by a well known artist.
