And visitor who pretended to need a wheelchair so he could stand right in front of the famous Mona Lisa painting of Leonardo da Vinci at the Louvre Museum, attacked the painting by throwing a cake at it on Sunday.
In video circulating on social networks you can see the exact moment when security forces try to clean the muddy cake in the famous Mona Lisa painting of one of the consecrated artists of history, Leonardo da Vinci.
How did he manage to attack the Mona Lisa with a cake?
The painting that would have received a generous amount of cake, was attacked by the visitor who covered his head with a wig, presumably after pretending that he required a wheelchair, he managed to locate himself in an area reserved for people with reduced mobility and once there, he stood up and threw a cake at him to one of the most recognized works worldwide, The Mona Lisa, to the amazement of visitors and security forces of the cultural venue.
In the images that have gone viral you can see the bewilderment of all those present during the attack perpetrated on one of the most famous works of art in the world.
The moment when the security elements of the Louvre Museum try to clean the cake visibly muddy in the painting that was protected thanks to the glass with which it is exposed to visitors and that, apparently, was not damaged due to the glass, it will remain as a memory of a bad time when this historic artwork was attacked with a pie.
So far it is unknown what the attacker’s motive would have been, however it is known that the man was secured by the emergency bodies of the also famous Louvre Museum in Paris, France.
