Ep. 36 - Behold the Monkey

The fruits of the Second Annual Year-End Patreon Listener Challenge
has us staring directly into the cold dead eyes of the beast! How
could this restoration of a forgotten 19th century Spanish fresco
have gotten so grotesquely botched, and what does it tell us about
the challenges of art restoration, religious iconography, and
iconoclasm? And more importantly, Jesus, why you look like a shark?
