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]

[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]
