Woman throws cup at the Mona Lisa
Thankfully, the painting was unscathed, because the glass smashed on the bullet-proof glass that was surrounding the painting.
It happened on August 02, and the woman was arrested. "It looks like it was done by someone who was unhinged and wanted to draw attention to herself," a Louvre spokesman was quoted as saying by the AFP news agency. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8196538.stm |

I know. What? Did Mona Lisa look at her wrong, or something?
I always liked that smirk of hers. |

The woman sounds nuts, but honestly... IMO, the Mona Lisa is ugly. So, I kinda laughed when I read that. Not that I would throw a cup at it, but I could see why someone would.

 just saying cos I was at a discussion of artists about the rights connected to their works. even if you bought it, you cannot do whatever you want with a work (cutting up, destroying it etc.), artists feel bad about it and at least in Europe it's forbidden (moral rights)

I read this somewhere else, can't remember now where and the article mentioned that it sounded like Stendhal Syndrome http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stendhal_syndrome
Slightly OT but fascinating! Maybe she wasn't to blame she was just completely overwhelmed by the beauty of it... |

I'm actually a bit surprised that she even got a glass in there.
