No. No. No. Fuck you. Some fuck who ruined a priceless piece of artwork does not get off that easy, or even at all. Someone who is now dead puts time, effort, and their soul into making a beautiful painting of something that inspires them, and some asshole ruins it for no reason whatsoever. If there was any hope for humanity, she would have been flayed alive and thrown to the wolves. But instead, the retards on the internet howl and screech with laughter at this tragic fuckup in the series of events that have come to describe the myriad ways our world is falling down the drain, and then someone else has the audacity to even suggest that this person is in any way defendable. Fuck this gay earth.

[Anonymous No.2941226]

Clean your panties out guy. The fresco was falling apart because of you know what.... time. It does this to frescoes and 81 year old women. You're so upset because time changes things and deteriorates work and fucking shit happens. Let me give you some truth-sauce. The fresco was shitty. It was in the middle of nowhere. It was going to disappear in a few years. The old lady really loved it. No one gave a shit about the fresco before she fucked it up. Maybe you should be less righteous and more compassionate and understanding of how shit really works in the world. Now millions of people who never would have seen or cared for that crappy fresco have seen it and it will be more famous than ever.

Artist wins.
The internet wins.

Not. See, I agree that the fresco was nothing of value. But what we see here is something pretty common in Spain. The "medics? medics have no idea. I can do this with a hand tied on my back" attitude. It's a country full of ignorant 'smart' people that thinks that they know better than anyona what to do in each situation. And as you can see, when they finally do something it turns to shit.

Se may had good intentions, and doesn't deserve to become a laughstock. But a fucking meda? Hell no.

I'm not giving two shits now about it. I'm not angry not amused by it. Let's say that this story is a little example of how things are in Spain sometimes. Full of people who thinks that they can fix anything in two evenings.

I'd argue that the attitude that you describe is far better than the "I can't fix it, so I won't do anything about it. Maybe I can pay someone else to do the job for me" attitude of the rest of the western world.

Still, the calixtine codice story sounds interesting. Care to tell us a bit more about it? In return I'll tell you why the Mona Lisa is considered the best/most popular/most expensive painting in the the world.

Ignore that dude.

Short story: an electricist steal an calixtine codex from the XII century and nobody notices. Months later it's discovered in his house inside a plastic bag and they know that is not a fake because it had a notation saying so in it put by one of the priests. Pencil, on an XXII century codex. And they revealed the recovery later so the president could have photograph returning it.

There is more to it, and a lof of juicy details. Look around the internet, it may have appeared in some english media.

Thanks, it was worth hanging on this thread to read it.

As for the Mona Lisa story, it was stolen in 1911, (even Pablo Picasso was questioned as a possible suspect). For two years, it was a media sensation--precisely when newspapers were coming into their own. And for two years it was front page news. That's why it's considered the best (and arguably the most valuable) painting, it's the token media image for art and everyone in the world knows about it.

Apparently the guy had it for a year and never even moved it from the same neighborhood as the church. Seems like a master criminal.

[Anonymous No.2941504]

Am I the only one who thinks the original Jesus looked a little derpy itself?

Lol, "destroyed" and "ruined" in a world with digital photographs of the unrestored work and analog photos of the original. Not to mention the fact that it was, instead of an original portraiture, or a work of creative imagination... just another photorealistic depiction of Renaissance Jesus, the historically inaccurate educational tool for a church trying to teach Christianity to people who either could not read, or could not access the Bible in their language.
You'll pardon me if I save my concern for when a Manet or Van Gogh gets the living Shoop treatment.

"I declare
That later on,

We live on in the work we leave behind. That artist's contribution was his legacy, his immortality. She has effectively killed him. The irony here, however, is that she's made the fresco more memorable than ever.

How is that even relevant to this? It's not the only piece of his work. It's not even original. Do you have any freaking Idea how many Jesus paintings there are in the freaking world?
It's as over saturated as hell. This isn't the Mona Lisa, this isn't Starry Sky, this is just another Renaissance knock-off, it's the painting equivalent of fan-fiction.
