FfFfFfFF 58,410 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 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. Fernando Carrera, a professor at the Galician School for the Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage, said such cases highlighted the need for work to be carried out only by properly trained restorers. Another part of the problem, he added, was that “some politicians just don’t give a toss about heritage”, meaning that Spain did not have the financial resources to safeguard all the treasures of its past. “We need to focus society’s attention on this so that it chooses representatives who put heritage on the agenda,” he said. https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2020/jun/22/experts-call-for-regulation-after-latest-botched-art-restoration-in-spain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daylight Jokers 14,958 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 It went from looking like a Da Vinci painting to a Picasso one real quick. I- Spoiler And I'm not saying Picasso is bad. It's just that he's known for his abstract paintings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
