Personally.....I believe they should pay the woman some royalties-

Go and watch Orson Welle's,"F for Fake" then revisit this so-called-and-so-claimed travesty of restoration and decide the intrinsic value of the woman's act.

What she did was inadvertent high-art on par with other great "masters" which to the untrained eye (or trained for that matter) are obvious brush-cleanings or Gesso-jobs.

This woman's act is for me a statement of the reality of just how full of themselves "experts" have become.
Simple fact for me is, is that the fresco has been reborn in this dynamic soup unfolding called the human experience and granny's attitude about the whole thing is not only hilarious but utterly commendable!!

I must have seen this fresco a million times in the few weeks since this news broke, and it makes me laugh so fucking hard every single time. Seriously that is the funniest goddamn attempt-at-face ever, even without comparison to the original. With the original next to it? Oh man..

instead of being grateful that no one is mad, she is trying to get rewarded for screwing up so bad people pay to see her mistake... dont donate your labor and effort to a church and then try to get something out of it... she must not be that religious.

the family of the artist was going to fund an actual restoration, which is the real kicker. this painting wasnt hers to screw up so maybe she should shut her mouth about getting paid! she has no rights to the painting
