Listen "Ecce Homo to Ecce Mono: The Glorious Failure of Monkey Jesus"
Episode Synopsis
Alex and Ben dive headfirst into the art world's most beloved disaster! Join us as we unravel the hilarious and heartwarming story of Cecilia Giménez, the 80-year-old amateur whose "restoration" of the Ecce Homo fresco in Borja, Spain, transformed Jesus into the internet-famous "Monkey Jesus" (or "Potato Jesus!"). Discover how good intentions and house paint led to an international meme, an unexpected tourist boom that saved a town, and even an opera! It's a tale of spectacular failure, accidental genius, and how sometimes, it really pays to suck at art.🎧 Listen now:https://open.spotify.com/episode/0DDCwbHGcAhAkxgf70rsBS?si=P2V60IBwTMCkQV8GZ6DjAA🎙️ Want to create podcasts like this?
