Questions About Painting Ancient Ruins
  • 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 10, 2025
    The most famous painting that was ruined by a restorer was Ecce Homo by Elías García Martínez. In 2012, the task of restoring the fresco in the Sanctuary of Mercy church in Borja, Spain, was left in the hands of an 81-year-old untrained artist who repainted the work, making the piece completely unrecognizable. Unfortunately, the painting is not the only piece to be severely damaged during restoration, pointing to the need to carefully vet restorers before hiring them. On 1stDibs, explore a wide range of fine art.
