Cecilia Giménez, who died this Monday at the age of 94 in the residence in that town where she lived with her son, who had an intellectual disability. Cecilia, a fan of painting, wanted her town without imagining that her result would make her world famous and would end up attracting thousands of visitors to the Sanctuary of Mercy in this Zaragoza town.
From costumes to documentaries and an opera in New York, they emerged inspired by this fiasco, which ended up being very profitable for the municipality, but which also plunged the involuntary artist into depression, overwhelmed by the global reaction to her work.
It was the newspaper Heraldo de Aragón that catapulted this story by publishing how this painting had turned out, although no one predicted the result. What began as a spontaneous repair of a work of art in poor condition that decorated one of the walls of the Sanctuary, a small church located in a 16th century inn, ended up becoming a real disaster.
