What's wrong with it ?

Who made this and at what cost it looks like a piece from some Egyptians the texture is perfect.

So, in an age of computers, high technology and digital information, someone produces a truly feckin' awful sculpture like this.

While, long ago, Michelangelo worked with his eyes and a rudimentary hammer and chisel to produce something close to perfection...though it wasn't actually a portrait of Ronaldo.

Remember that - it was a well-meaning old lady's restoration project...tourism to the region in Italy increased greatly to see the painting.

The sculptor behind a statue of Cristiano Ronaldo that left football fans scratching their heads has said his work is just "a matter of taste". Should be a politician!

Both Ronaldos have a wonky eye.

Must be genetic.
