“Leonard da Vinci had painted the Mona Lisa.
But Vincenzo Perugia had turned it into The Mona Lisa.”
Nicholas Day, The Mona Lisa Vanishes: A Legendary Painter, a Shocking Heist, and the Birth of a Global Celebrity

“In a conspiracy theory, belief matters more than facts. Belief in a conspiracy inevitably leads you away from the facts.”
Nicholas Day, The Mona Lisa Vanishes: A Legendary Painter, a Shocking Heist, and the Birth of a Global Celebrity

“If the Mona Lisa is the most famous face in art history, Les Demoiselles is a hatchet thrown at it. It's not a pretty painting. Its brutal and uncomfortable.”
Nicholas Day, The Mona Lisa Vanishes: A Legendary Painter, a Shocking Heist, and the Birth of a Global Celebrity
