There are few career paths where a professional mishap leads to great success, but Cecilia Giménez found one. The Spanish artist, who died this week at the age of 94, rose to fame and notoriety in the 2010s for her delightful “restoration” of “Ecce Homo,” a fresco of Jesus in a Zaragoza church. The face that launched a million memes, affectionately known as “Beast Jesus,” may not have inspired religious ecstasy, but it birthed a cultural icon. 

Today, isaislearninghowtouseacamera commemorates Giménez’s life and improbable legacy, which you can find at our link in bio.
