A famous painting of the Immaculate Conception is no longer recognizable after a botched restoration attempt by amateurs in Spain.
It’s more like the not-so-Immaculate Conception now — a botched restoration of a famous Baroque painting has left the artwork unrecognizable, and its private collector stunned.
Here’s the deal… a private art collector in Spain shelled out $1,355 to get a famous painting of the Immaculate Conception — by Baroque artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo — cleaned up by a furniture restorer. Unfortunately, the job was a total botch!!!
The amateur restorer made 2 attempts to fix the art, according to Spain’s Europa Press, but as you can see… it only got worse and worse.
