LOL! Yeah, that's about it..
On the other hand, thank you for posting this picture. I actually just spent 15 minutes going down the Ecce Homo rabbit hole. What a story, this disaster of a restoration turned into an absolute boon for the town.
Same!
I had no idea the woman actually was in the middle of her restoration, left for a two week holiday, and came back to a verifiable shit storm.
Edit: oh and she had permission to attempt the restoration!
She recently passed away too. Its interesting to see that the town get more popular as a result of it and she became a mini-celebrity despite the outcry of hate for the new painting by the international community.
All publicity is good publicity
was in the middle of her restoration
I mean, no restoration that I've seen is done like that, by repainting over large swathes of the original.
It's like that scene from Mr. Bean. Or was it Johnny English?
Pretty sure it was that Mr Bean movie where he goes to America. I think the premise was Bean was accompanying a painting from England (they sent him to get rid of him for a while) and at some point he gets something on the painting, tries to clean it, and paint comes off, too. Then he fixes it and his host either starts crying or trying to attack him.
I wonder how nvidia's PR department is feeling about the popularity of this meme...
Apparently they're going for the "You're all wrong" defense.
Strong "don't you have phones" vibes.
Lol
Do you think they're telling developers to make a slider in new games' graphics settings?
DLSS5
Stop, you're starting to make it sound appealing.
Background characters disappear at low settings, reappear but hotter^1 at higher settings. Nude at DLSS5 Premium setting.
The mockery here is cruel. It took them like 3 hours to finish the shading on the upper lip.
You just activated neurons in my brain that hadn’t fired in 20 years
This is perfect, OP.
For those unleashed uninitiated, it's called ecce homo, I believe. There's a great background at Wikipedia as usual
Jokes aside, I still can't believe the disaster in that image. I'm pretty sure I could have done a better job with that painting, and I'm far from qualified for that job.
What's wild is that they've decided to keep "monkey jesus" for its cultural significance. The painting could be professionally restored but it will remain that way forever
It's widely agreed upon that the original fresco was not particularly valuable or artistically remarkable. It's not like somebody messed up the Mona Lisa or a Rembrandt. If I ever happen to be in the area, I'm definitely going to see the thing in person. It's become quite a tourist magnet, and the town is happy about it.
It was also a work in progress. This was just meant to be colour blocking before details were added.
Ohh that makes a lot more sense
