Cecilia Giménez, the woman behind the 'Monkey Christ' restoration, dies at 94
Cecilia Giménez, the Spanish woman famous for her well-intentioned but widely mocked restoration of the 'Ecce Homo' fresco, has died at age 94. Her attempt to restore the deteriorated painting of Jesus Christ in Borja, Spain, resulted in a cartoonish version that became an internet sensation and turned her small town into a tourist attraction. Despite the controversy, she was celebrated as a passionate lover of painting.
