Behold The Monkey



Behold The Man is the original title for this 20th century fresco (wall painting) of Christ in an obscure church in an obscure town in Spain. Over the years the image deteriorated and was restored by the original artist from man – to monkey! Because of these viral images this northern Spanish town of Borja is obscure no more. Now, Behold The Monkey becomes the 21st century fiasco! This isn’t blasphemy, but an apt title for a painting restoration running askew. Plans to undo the redo is underway but ironically, many petitioned online to keep the post-restoration image. Huh?
