Mona Lisa's Farewell: A Historical Moment of Vandalism and Theft at the Louvre, Paris This evocative image captures the moment of shock and loss as the Mona Lisa, the world-renowned masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci, is stolen from the Louvre Museum in Paris on August 21, 1911. The Mona Lisa, painted in the 16th century, has captivated audiences for centuries with her enigmatic smile and mysterious expression. In the early 20th century, the painting was displayed in a new glass case to protect it from damage and deter thieves. However, on this fateful day, an Italian handyman named Vincenzo Peruggia, believing the painting to be Italian national treasure, managed to remove it from the wall and conceal it in a hollowed-out bench. The theft went undetected for over two years, during which time the painting traveled to Florence, Italy, before being returned to the Louvre in 1913. This photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library, is a poignant reminder of the historical significance of this event. The empty frame and the somber expressions of the museum staff serve as a testament to the value and importance of the Mona Lisa as an irreplaceable work of art. The image also highlights the vulnerability of cultural heritage and the ongoing efforts to protect and preserve it for future generations. The Mona Lisa's theft and subsequent return to the Louvre remains one of the most famous art heists in history, and continues to be a source of fascination and intrigue for scholars, art enthusiasts, and the general public alike.
