I guess this would be it,
the Mona Lisa, I took this photograph of it when we visited Paris with Steve and Kai in June 2022, well here are 10 things abut the painting that you may or may not know about the painting, and here is one more, it is going to be moved! “We’ve been
thinking about it for a long time, but this time everyone is in agreement,”
Vincent Delieuvin, the Louvre’s chief curator of 16th-century Italian
painting told the French newspaper Le Figaro. “It’s a large
room, and the Mona Lisa is at the back, behind its security glass, so at first
glance it looks like a postage stamp,” Delieuvin said that the impact
of social media and mass tourism demands a greater effort, as they have
multiplied the artwork’s celebrity far beyond anything imagined after
its theft in 1911, a new entrance and room in a underground chamber will be constructed, “The mood in the
museum is now ripe,” des Cars said. “We have to embrace the painting’s status
as a global icon, which is beyond our control.” The budget for the Louvre’s
overhaul is estimated at €500 million, according to Le Figaro, the full article is at ART News.com.
