'Botched' amateur restoration of 15th century sculptures leaves Virgin Mary with eyeliner and pink lipstick and Baby Jesus looking like www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6142399/Botched-restoration-15th-century-sculptures-leaves-Virgin-Mary-eyeliner-lipstick.htmlA Spanish shop owner has been accused of an 'aberration' after an amateur restoration of three 15th century sculptures which included eyeliner and pink lipstick for the Virgin Mary.The three sculptures at the centre of the latest row - housed in the village chapel in Ranadoiro - are estimated to date from the 15th and 16th centuries. One represents the Virgin Mary with Baby Jesus and Saint Anne, the mother of Mary. The other two represent Saint Peter and the Virgin Mary with Baby Jesus. I had the priest's permission. I painted them in the colours that took my fancy, that was all.' Mr Saro said he wanted try to return the sculptures to their original appearance but the paint used on them could make it impossible.
