You have to see it to believe it.

A furniture restorer attempted to clean up a copy of baroque artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo’s “The Immaculate Conception of Los Venerables” for an anonymous collector in Valencia, Spain. Unfortunately, the beatific face of the Virgin Mary was disfigured in the process — and now professional restorers and conservation experts are demanding tighter laws covering restoration work. iframe.

The botched job is reminiscent of the “Beast Jesus” debacle of 2012. That’s when another amateur restorer, 82-year-old Cecilia Gimenez, attempted to touch up an almost century-old fresco of Jesus wearing a crown of thorns for her Borja, Spain church. Her touch-up of “Ecce Homo,” aka “Behold the Man,” didn’t go well. It was so bad, in fact, that local authorities first suspected someone had vandalized the church.

Other infamous restoration hatchet jobs of late have included a 500-year-old carved-wood sculpture of Saint George at the Church of San Miguel de Estella in Navarre, Spain two years ago. The restoration resulted in a cartoon-like Saint George with a pink face and garish red and gray suit of armor.
