Helpful Old Lady Ruins 200-Year-Old Portrait

[Blunderboy]

She didn't paint it using bodily fluids. That's why it's so crap.

I agree! Would look much better in blood form.

You know I was being sarcastic, right?

 

[Blunderboy]

I'd buy it.

I'm so tempted to report you for a low content post.

I dont even'....

the FACE 0_0

its completly unrecognisable...how did she get the to that point?

You make an art restoration check

...

You roll a 1.

 

[Beldaros]

Is anybody else curious what happened to the lady?

 

[Elf Defiler Korgan]

Stoned by a hidden cabal of art critics.

Her body was never found.

Ha. Best post of the entire thread.

So she stole a painting and vandalized it? I hope sh gets whatever the max sentence is for her crime in Spain. And I do not care that she had good motives for it or that she is elderly. Theft no matter the reason (well unless its to save someone's life and it works) should never be tolerated no matter who does it.

You read one article, posted in a forum, and condemn a stranger to "whatever the max sentence is"? Wow, dude. There's things like perspective, bias, knowing the whole story, not being a huge meanie lol.

Cheers. Years of dming mean I am always assessing the world according to a d20 system.

As for her fate and punishment. Best to be clear it is a crime, plenty of these paintings around. Easy to be overzealous and call for her sacrifice to the art gods (overseen by the hidden art critic cabal obviously).

The dichotomy of such stupidity is that it's equal measure crushingly sad and side-splittingly hilarious.

 

[Elf Defiler Korgan]

Agreed two people above. I think this giant fuck-up has the potential to bring humanity together. We can all learn something from this.

It should also tour the world, so that the well meaning can understand, don't mess with restoring art if you have no idea what you are doing.

I would say that this will quadruple the value of the painting in 20 years.

Why did this woman have access to this thing? I know art security is far from how the movies suggest, but this must have taken a while and no one stopped her?

It's not like someone welded a huge copper dong to the Statue of Liberty or something else the rest of the world might care about.

Mental image... can't unsee.

OT: Well at least she meant well... though I have to say the eyes kind of remind me of someone trying to attempt a Picasso.

I'm not a religious man but I think a little bit of my soul just curled up and died

As someone who feels the same, but loves Art...I feel the same
It makes me cringe with almost literal pain when I see this D:

That face is going to become a meme I just know it.
