Cake Attack on Mona Lisa Painting

The Mona Lisa painting, one of the most important paintings in history on display at the Louvre Museum in France, was on the trends of social media when a tourist attacked with a cake the other day.


According to the news of Sözcü newspaper; Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa painting, which is exhibited in the Louvre Museum in Paris and is considered one of the most protected works in the world, was attacked with a cake.

The Mona Lisa painting, which was covered with pastry cream, became a hot topic in a short time. According to the testimony of witnesses present at the museum, a man in a wheelchair and wearing a wig carried out the attack. Suddenly, the man jumped out of his wheelchair and threw the cake at the Mona Lisa. While those responsible for the security of the museum quickly removed the man, other visitors were seen recording those moments. The painting, made by Leonardo da Vinci between 1503 and 1519, was not damaged by the attack due to the safety glass in front of it. However, the attack on the painting, which was in one of the most secure and 'inaccessible' rooms of the museum and was always full of tourists, became the hot topic. In some videos shared on social media, it was seen that Louvre security guards took action to remove the attacker from the building and clean the window. Throughout history, the Mona Lisa painting has faced various attacks. In the 1950s, a man threw sulfuric acid on the painting, which caused the painting to wear out. Later, a Bolivian student hit it with a stone. In 1974, a Japanese woman sprayed the painting with red paint, while in the summer of 2009 a Russian tourist threw a cup of tea at it.
