Yes...and no... LOL!! Gotta admit though, it does look like a scene from Mr. Bean.

I keep relating this to how people picks up a dslr and assumes taking a great photos is easy.... Just like how picking up a brush, and a can of paint can SURELY restore this painting.

i am pretty sure that the priest who ordered the 80yr old lady to 'fix' it up didn't know that this particular fresco is a prized art... it was only discovered by a person who knew about the piece WAY after the 'restoration' was done!
