Call me a cynic, but I can't help but suspect that maybe someone from the town council thought the donated money would be better off in his own pocket than being used to hire a professional, and recruited a local volunteer for the job. It would explain how she managed to do this without being stopped.Our correspondent says that to make matters worse, the local centre that works to preserve artworks had just received a donation from the painter's granddaughter which they had planned to use to restore the original fresco.

I would think she would definitely ask for her money back.
I bet you could get away with a lot of things if you look legitimate.

The fresco is now a tourist attraction, cordoned off with its own security guard, and tourists having to wait in a long queue (sorry, line) to see it. Picture here. There is a hilarious reproduction of the Last Supper going round the internet with all the faces modified to reflect the new fashion.

Saw that on news night before last. Good grief, despite my own lack of painting/drawing skills I probably could have done better. I'm wondering why she didn't begin questioning her ability to truly handle the task, and stop when it became apparent she couldn't.

Maybe they could claim that Picasso retouched it during one of his bad periods?

I quite like it. As I said before it is very Francis Bacon.

Bacon? More like a ham sandwich!

Trivial coincidence, I had monkey-bread for dessert last night.
