The Aftermath: The Theft of the Mona Lisa
The Alarmist - A podcast by The Alarmist
Categories:
New Guest Expert! On this week’s Aftermath, Rebecca speaks with historian Dr. Francesca Fiorani about the legacy of the Mona Lisa and its tumultuous time in hiding after its theft in 1911. A professor of Art History at the University of Virginia, Francesca speaks to the lack of security at the time and the audacity it took to steal such a high profile work of art with the intention of reselling it. She also reminds us of the way in which the Mona Lisa is truly meant to be experienced as a work of art. Afterward, Producer Clayton Early and Fact Checker Chris Smith break things down in our post interview discussion for our Patreon Subscribers.
