The case that skyrocketed the Mona Lisa's value involves Vincenzo Peruggia, a daring museum worker. In 1911, he snatched the masterpiece, believing he was reclaiming Italian art. Two years later, the painting was recovered, turning the Mona Lisa into a global sensation. The audacious theft not only fueled public fascination but also propelled the painting's value to stratospheric heights. Peruggia's misguided patriotism inadvertently transformed the Mona Lisa into an iconic symbol of high-stakes art heists. Other masterpieces also have a tale to tell 🎨💎 Credit: Krlmhl / Reddit Palana / Reddit Galactic_Gooner / Reddit unknown / Reddit socialmichu / Reddit snarfo2 / Reddit Sushikam5ut / Reddit Monotonyanomaly / Reddit Krokodrillo / Reddit A Tale of Two Cities: By Stanley Maxwell Zuckerberg, CC BY-SA 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=4307845 ancient flute: By Panegyrics of Granovetter – https://flic.kr/p/2jDqMmS, CC BY-SA 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=116123268 Animation is created by Bright Side. #brightside —————————————————————————————- Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ Listen to Bright Side on: Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD34jRLrMrJux4VxV Apple Podcast – https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/idhttps-podcasts-apple-com-podcast-bright-side/id1554898078 —————————————————————————————- Our Social Media: Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/brightside/ Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/brightside.official/ Tik Tok – https://www.tiktok.com/@brightside.official?lang=en Snapchat – https://www.snapchat.com/p/c6a1e38a-bff1-4a40-9731-2c8234ccb19f/1866144599336960 Stock materials (photos, footages and other): https://www.depositphotos.com https://www.shutterstock.com https://www.eastnews.ru —————————————————————————————- For more videos and articles visit: http://www.brightside.me
