Persia

Recommended Posts

For exactly a century, mystery has wrapped the most famous art crime in history -- the theft of the Mona Lisa.

What many to consider the greatest portrait of all time, painted by Leonardo da Vinci from 1503 to 1507, disappeared from the Louvre on August 21, 1911. It was stolen by Vincenzo Peruggia (1881-1925), an Italian immigrant who lived in Paris with the masterpiece for over two years.
