1. A spoiled fresco
The most sensational case of an unsuccessful restoration occurred in Spain. 80-year-old Cecilia Jimenez volunteered to restore the mural with the image of Jesus in a local cathedral. But for some reason, it did not look like the original at all. Perhaps the elderly woman’s eyesight failed her.

You can argue endlessly whether Cecilia is to blame or not. On the one hand, the fresco was spoiled. On the other, the cathedral became known worldwide, and Cecilia is now called the new Goya.
