Oh no! Where will we ever find another old painting depicting baby Jesus and shepards?

What's that you say? All of them?

Well, the "Monkey Christ" was made with paints that you couldn't reverse without destroying what is underneath, and this restoration was done with paints you can, I don't actually see the problem here, other than some guy on a website looking for clicks.

If bad restorers don't get the paintings, the eco-terrorists armed with canned tomato sauce will.

Nothing wrong with the restoration.

Guy has an agenda.

Even gets a dig in at the PRB.

This is a "restoration" job that should never have happened. Whoever did it was just looking for money. There's no way to restore it without farking it up, and that should have been obvious from the beginning. Monkey Jesus is far worse.

I get the impression that the author just learned the word "gormless" and wanted to use it in an article.  ...multiple times.

this 'restoration' wouldn't look amiss in the Monty Python opening/closing credits.

Not quite on par with Monkey Christ, but this statue of Lucille Ball feels like a pretty faithful contribution to the oeuvre.
