Argh.

Cops are investigating the defacement of a 6,000-year-old cave painting in southern Spain. According to authorities, the ancient evidence of the human drive to create was damaged when a local man poured water on it. Why? He was trying to gussy up the painting to take a photo for his Facebook page.

The paintings are located in the Sierra Sur de Jaén mountain in Spain’s Jaén Province. They’re some of the oldest in the world and the UN has recognized their location as a World Heritage Site alongside Stonehenge and the Great Wall of China.
According to a report in the Spanish newspaper El País, the police are investigating a 39-year-old man from the neighboring city of Los Villares in connection with the crime. They kicked off the hunt in May when pictures of the water-logged cave paintings surfaced online.

People love to take pictures of the paintings, which is a normal instinct. What’s not normal is pouring water over them to make sure they glisten and gleam when photographed. After taking the pictures, the man uploaded them to Facebook and tagged his location. It wasn’t hard for authorities to track him down.

Le génie du mal (wiki)

Le génie du mal (or The Genius of Evil or The Spirit of Evil), known informally in English as Lucifer or The Lucifer of Liège is a religious sculpture executed in white marble and installed in 1848 by the Belgian artist Guillaume Geefs. Francophone art historians often refer to the figure as an ange déchu, a "fallen angel".

Geefs' work replaces an earlier sculpture created for the space by his younger brother Joseph Geefs, L'ange du mal, which was removed from the cathedral because of its distracting allure and "unhealthy beauty
