This lunchtime, after Mass, His Hermeneuticalness was showing some young parishioners images of the restored fresco which hit the news a few days ago. Jacinta remarked that it reminded her of the Mr. Bean sketch... and then, on seeing all our blank faces, she apologised for being "too young."
I hadn't seen the sketch, but thought I would probably find it on YouTube. Sure enough...
Very funny. Apparently, the internet has gone viral with copycat restorers having a go at some of the world's masterpieces.
ReplyDeleteThe makeover of Leonardo's Last Supper cracked me up.
If the holy father wants the Sistine Chapel redecorated in time for the next consistory I've a few spare cans of Dulux Vymura and non-drip gloss!
