Cecilia Giménez edit

[include disambig for Cecilia Jimenez)

Cecilia Giménez is an amateur artist who rose to fame after her 2012 good faith attempt to restore the fresco, Ecce Homo.

Biography edit

Ecce Homo edit

Giménez claimed her restoration work was not finished, resulting in the painting's appearance. In 2015, she said, "I left it to dry and went on holiday for two weeks, thinking I would finish the restoration when I returned [...] The way people reacted still hurts me, because I wasn’t finished with the restoration."[1] The church later forbade her from finishing the restoration.[2]

The restoration and subsequent fame brought attention and money to church, raising around €2000 from tourists coming to visit Ecce Homo within the first four days after the restoration.[3][4] Giménez sought[5][6] and eventually received royalties for her work, receiving 49% of profits.[7] She said she planed to use the profits to raise money for charities supporting muscular atrophy research, a condition that effects one of her sons.[8]

Giménez received significant media attention, which caused her to fall into depression.[2]

After Ecce Homo edit

Following the restoration, Giménez sold her original painting, "The Bodegas of Borja," on eBay for over €1000.[9] The proceeds were donated to charity.[10] She staged her original art at a show in 2013.[1][11] She was commissioned to paint original artwork for a winery near the church that displays Ecce Homo.[12]

In 2014, she appeared in a music video for Zaragozan musician Ángel Petisme's “El ministerio de la felicidad” (“The Ministry of Happiness”).[13] The song features Petisme as the fresco's Jesus thanking the artist for restoring it.[14][15]

Giménez now lives in a retirement home and is being treated for dementia.[16]

In popular culture edit

Giménez has been portrayed by Kate McKinnon on Saturday Night Live.[17] In 2016, she and the restoration were the subject of a TV documentary, Fresco Fiasco.[18]

Behold! The Monkey Jesus, a play by Joe Wiltshire Smith starring Mary Tillett as Giménez, premiered in 2023.[19] An opera about Giménez's restoration, Behold the Man, La Ópera de Cecilia, premiered in Las Vegas in fall 2023 to mark the start of Opera Las Vegas’ 25th anniversary season.[20][16] Andrew Flack, who wrote the opera's libretto, met with Giménez in 2013 and received her blessing to create the opera.[21]
