A small Spanish town is trying to figure out what to do with a 20th-century painting of Christ that has been disfigured by a local artist who was trying to restore it.
Juan Maria Ojeda, an official in Borja town, said 80-year-old Celia Gimenez decided to touch up the fresco of Christ wearing a crown of thorns in the Misericordia church.
He said no one realised how badly disfigured the painting was until she rang town hall to say what she had done.
The fate of the painting, completed in 1930, has made national news in Spain.
The fresco is of the genre known as Ecce Homo style (Behold the Man). But now some Twitter users are dubbing it Ecce Mono (Behold the Monkey).
