‘Ecce Homo’, painted by Spanish painter Elias Garcia Martinez for a church in the Spanish town of Borja in 1930, is a local painting that shows Jesus wearing a crown made of thorns, a representation we often see in traditional Catholic art. It was a famous piece. The work gained worldwide fame when it was 'restored’ by a woman living in the town in 2012.
Authorities in the town first thought the incident was done on purpose. It was later learned that the person who made this work was Cecilia Giménez, one of the faithful visitors of the church. Giménez, in interviews with local channels after the incident, said that he did the restoration with the permission of the priest and that he wanted to preserve the painting that was damaged by the humid weather. Giménez left the painting he had been brushing to dry and took a two-week vacation. When She returned, everyone in the world knew about the restoration she had done.

Se quel guerrier Io fossi! se il mio sogno
S’avverasse!… Un esercito di prodi
Da me guidato… e la vittoria… e il plauso
( )
Tu di mia vita sei lo splendor.
Il tuo bel cielo vorrei redarti,
Le dolci brezze del patrio suol;
Un regal serta sul crin posarti,
Ergerti un trono vicino al sol.
“Ecce Homo”, by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio.
