名畫仿品遭毀容式修復

An art collector in Spain was shocked after the face of the Virgin Mary in a copy of a 17th century painting he paid to have restored was left unrecognizable.

西班牙一名藝術品收藏家花錢請人修復一幅17世紀名畫的複製品，但修復後的畫作令他震驚不已，畫中聖母瑪利亞的面龐已難以辨認。

The private collector is said to have paid a furniture restorer 1,200 euros to carry out work on the copy of "The Immaculate Conception of Los Venerables" by the baroque artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo.

據說，這位私人收藏家向一名傢俱修復工支付了1200歐元（約合人民幣9552元）來修復《埃斯克利亞的清靜受胎》的複製品，這幅畫的作者是巴洛克藝術家巴羅洛梅·埃斯特巴·穆立羅。

The restorer's first effort was a disaster, leaving Mary's face disfigured, and the subsequent attempt to correct it just made it worse.

修復工的第一次修復已是一場災難，導致聖母的臉被“毀容”，之後他的補救行動讓這幅畫更加慘不忍睹。

The botched job has caused such outrage that art conservation experts in Spain have called on the government to enforce stricter laws for restoration work to preserve the country's history.

這次拙劣的毀容式修復引發人們極大的憤慨，以至於西班牙的藝術保護專家們呼籲政府在文物修復方面出臺更嚴格的法律，以保護該國曆史。
