Looks like some of my Minecraft builds but at least it’s restored
It looks like cheap/bad work restoration
An establishment of fine arts should have probably been restored more… artistically.
Looks terrible. Reminds me of a romanian house.
I hope after is the top one.
It is ok. Could do something fancy, like use dark blue for windows frame, but it will do.
The dull and bland side façades look so out of place compared to the neoclassical front.
Omg I hope it’s rather after and before
Wow it’s…terrible
Give it a few years a lot of rain and it might look good again
Great that they repaired the damage but what an awful paint job, doesn’t look authentic at all.
Wow, that is impressively bad.
It’s just too much 😭 The blue is so random
Why oh why would you paint it THAT way?
Looks like one of those suburbian houses someone from the Balkans would build in the west.
great reminder that “restoration” is still controversial among historians. if a building has been continually restored over time then the ship of theseus argument generally holds up, but most Greek restorations were done during the last 200 years to improve tourism and the sense of Greek nationalism built on classical antiquity. both of those guiding virtues make doing history or archeology on these sites much harder and the work that’s been done on buildings like the Acropolis to “restore” it to its former glory has a very controversial history among academics. not to say that all restorations have been equally controversial, some later ones have been designed to be totally reversible, but most have not been like this. “restoration” is about vanity not history
So which one is from restoration?
I don’t know why. I prefer the not restored version… the new building looks like ordered from AliExpress.
It’s before and after, *aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa*
I am so confused by all these comments lol. From what I can see, this building is a hundred years old, and, it’s just been renovated? Like, new buildings don’t come with patina so why would a renovated one? Is everyone seeing something I’m not seeing? None of the details were lost? Nothing was modernised? I don’t get it.
What the fuck? They butchered it
I quite like it. Gives a very happy vibe with the colours.
Why does it look so 2025?
Nice building, majestic
I’m going to buck the trend here and say I quite like it!
The “fresh paint-vs-original-stone” argument feels similar to the Victorian idea that classical statues had to be sand blasted white to be considered “pure” instead of their original bright colouration. Both have their merits imo.
