According to reports, a man donned a wig and posed as an elderly woman in a wheelchair before entering the Louvre art museum in Paris, France. Once he neared the priceless work of art, he reportedly threw cake at the painting and attempted to smash the bulletproof glass that protects it from just such an attack.

Then proceeds to smear cake on the glass, and throws roses everywhere before being tackled by security.”

The alleged perpetrator reportedly smeared cake on the glass in an effort to raise awareness about the destruction of planet earth, witnesses claimed.
“A guy has thrown a cake at the Mona Lisa to raise awareness about the destruction of the planet,” one person explained in a tweet.
The painting was stolen in 1911 by an Italian handyman named Vincenzo Peruggia. He was not caught until two years later — and some experts believe that the theft was what truly put the famously enigmatic smile on the map.
“If a different one of Leonardo’s works had been stolen, then that would have been the most famous work in the world – not the Mona Lisa,” said Noah Charney, art history professor and author.
“There was nothing that really distinguished it per se, other than it was a very good work by a very famous artist – that’s until it was stolen. The theft is what really skyrocketed its appeal and made it a household name,” he said.
The painting has been the target of attempted vandalism in the past as well, according to a report from Marca.com.
“A man threw sulfuric acid at it in the 1950s, which had an effect on the painting, and a Bolivian student hit it with a stone. A woman in a wheelchair sprayed red paint on her wheelchair while she was at an exhibition in Tokyo in 1974, expressing her dissatisfaction with the lack of access ramps,” the outlet reported.
Additionally, in 2009, a Russian tourist threw tea at the painting.
Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
