In the art world, this is blasphemy at the highest level…someone is trying to defile the Mona Lisa.
Of course, this happened at the Louvre Museum in Paris. A man in a wheelchair, disguised as an old lady, got up from the wheelchair, took off his wig, and threw a piece of cake towards the door. Leonardo da Vinci masterpiece.

The reason is unknown, but it was one of the most ridiculous things about the weekend. pic.twitter.com/pnPQLVGTKG

Of course, the painting was protected by glass, and god knows what else, so no damage was done, but it was definitely the scene.
The man yelled at the crowd while throwing the desert, reminding them of Earth. It is creamed so the smudges are noticeable. He also threw roses in the gallery.
He screamed, “Think about the earth. Someone is destroying the earth. Think about it. The artist tells you, think about the earth. That’s why I do it.” Well, of course he figured out a way to convey his Information.
Lourve staff quickly removed the stain from the glass. As for Vandal, he was reportedly taken away for psychiatric treatment.
This 16th-century Renaissance painting has been targeted several times. It was stolen by a Lourve employee in 1911. It was badly damaged in an acid attack in the 1950s and has since been fixed behind bulletproof glass.
