How does this keep happening?
Would be funny if the same lady was behind this.
"How does this keep happening?"
"She's the minister's niece..."
She didn’t do the Ronaldo one, someone else did. It would be hilarious if she had done all 3, but I find it equally hilarious that they’ve allowed 3 different people to crap the bed this badly…
Edit: I guess technically the Ronaldo sculpture started out ugly & the correction worked, so maybe it’s not in the same category?
Apparently it's a Spanish thing. From the article someone posted below (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/amateur-restorer-botches-carving-spain-180976271/)
Spanish law currently allows amateurs to repair historic artworks—a fact that has led many conservation experts to argue for tighter regulations in the industry.
Are the owners of the art just contracting the cheapest possible option?
Not even cheapest, they recruit friends and family.
It'd be extremely hilarious if we didn't irrevocably destroy a piece of history every time it happens.
AI design!
AI definitely would have done better. This looks like a child drew a smiley face on a lump of clay by poking their fingers in it.
