The woman who ruined a prized Jesus Christ fresco in Spain is now demanding royalties after her botched restoration became a hit with tourists.
Lawyers for Cecilia Gimenez, who is in her 80s, say any “economic compensation” would go to charities.
She made headlines after her do-it-yourself restoration in a church left the 19th Century fresco of Christ resembling a hairy monkey.
But thousands of people have since visited the church near Zaragoza.
The airline Ryanair is now even offering deals to the north-eastern Spanish city, encouraging tourists to see the fresco in the Sanctuary of Mercy Church in Borja.
‘Best intentions’
“She just wants (the church) to conform with the law,” said Enrigue Trebolle, Ms Gimenez’s lawyer.”
