I dive into the history surrounding the Mona Lisa heist. Believe it or not, the Mona Lisa was not always the world's most famous painting. In fact, it was overlooked for years until it was stolen.
Over 6 MILLION people visit The Louvre to see the Mona Lisa each year. Why is she so popular? Is it that smile, those eyes, or the smokey painting technique Da Vinci used?
So why is it valued at over $650 million US dollars now? To find the answer, you have to dig into the most famous art heist the world has ever seen.

”Broke the glass took off the frame and hid the painting under his clothes” I think I had a heart attack a painting that is 400 years old is sooooooo fragile thank God the painting didn't rip
The painting has been deliberately attacked a few times also. Hence the extra security nowadays
It's painted on wood, so Mona Lisa would never rip.
Is it really stealing it if you effectively just walk up and take it without any hassle
Haha! Excellent point! It amazes me just how vulnerable museums were for so many years. Thanks for watching and for the feedback!
If it's not yours its stealing
Duh. Just like it is taking candy from a shelf
Fantastic! I teach a Renaissance Art unit to my middle school art students. Your video fits perfectly into our discussion about the Mona Lisa. Thank you for always posting such quality content.
Super appreciated this comment today! So glad to hear my episodes are helping you out in the classroom! The more students watch and subscribe to the channel, the easier it becomes for me to find the necessary funding. So, thank you so much for showing them!
Hi Sue! I'm working on some grant applications and wondered if I could include your feedback/quote? If so, mind sharing where you teach? Super appreciate it as we are working on securing more funding for episodes and interactive teaching resources.
suescookin YEET MEN YEET
We tend not to appreciate things until we lose them. Then if by some miracle we get them back our appreciation goes through the roof. After seeing this video I now see the Mona Lisa in a whole new light. The Light of Appreciation.
Cannot agree with you more! Great to know the story behind this painting. Thanks for the feedback and for watching and subscribing!
So true
I’m doing “the theft of the Mona Lisa” as my DPA topic
That is awesome! Would love to know how it turned out! Glad to help, and thanks for watching.
Imagine one day you're just painting for fun then centuries later people are committing crimes for it
They broke the glass took off the frame and rolled it up put it under his clothes wow surprised they didn’t ruin the painting an wow just wow it wouldn’t be here today lol she’s holds the record for most money that has insurance on it in the art market I believe now a days she’s worth over 2 - 3 billion but I don’t even think she’s allowed to be sold nor never will even if someone like Elon musk wanted it for 20 billion lol the only way they could get money from it is if it gets ruined and insurance will pay them for it
Yes, it is crazy how they did it! Interestingly, oil paintings like this were and often are still rolled up when transported, so not a huge surprise there. It still boggles my mind how much this painting is worth, and yes, even though they would or could never sell it. Crazy. Thanks for the great feedback and for your support!
It is often the story around the artwork rather than the art itself that makes it famous.
If they made a movie they could "embellish" it by saying that Perugia received an offer from an underworld buyer but when it came time to close the deal Perugia cried his eyes out and found that he had come to love painting so much he could not part with it. He then decided he would keep it!!! Lol!!!!
Lol I cracked up when he said Pablo Picasso
Great video, I've always said the Mona Lisa is overrated, largely due to the info told in this video. Thanks!
Thanks! And, yes, you’re definitely right that the Mona Lisa is overrated. Someone will hate me for that comment, but hey, I just backed it up with historical fact;)
@@artrageousnate The facts are there!
This definitely got to be a Mandela effect because I remember reading in school they said it got stolen and they got like some type of replica and it was never found but hey
Moral of the story: stealing is very bad
Il quadro fu comprato regolarmente da un nobile francese da Leonardo da Vinci ecco perché la Monnalisa il quadro è sempre stato in Francia da quando fu comprato da un nobile francese , verità , la falsa leggenda in Italia che l epoca in cui c era impero napoleonico anche in una parte d Italia , fu preso rubato da Napoleone e le sue truppe è una falsa notizia leggenda che spinse V. Perugia a rubarla al museo di Parigi , per lui era riprendere il quadro del genio italiano Leonardo da Vinci ..preso ingiustamente da Napoleone che non è non vero ...fake news ..
Appreciate the feedback! Yes, you are right. Napoleon never stole the Mona Lisa, and I never mentioned that he did. Of course, Napoleon did steal a TON of other works, which I do have an episode on one of them you should check out! I think most people forget that Da Vinci lived in France sponsored by the French government for the better part of his older years. I was just at his home a couple years ago.
I think Perugia was just frustrated about other works that the Louvre had, which were either of Italian origin or stolen. For him, it seemed like more of a stunt for attention than anything else.
Either way, the theft most definitely skyrocketed the Mona Lisa into fame, which I think is funny as an art history buff. Just think how many people and ideas are now only famous simply because enough people on Instagram, RUclips, etc says they are. Food for thought!
Monalisa paintings has nothing extra ordinary or magical laugh shroud with mystery. It's just a propaganda tactic to catch more tourists around the world and earn huge. It's simply an ordinary paintings comparable to most others paintings on display.
Indeed, which is pretty much what I'm alluding to in the episode. However, it was painted by a famous painter none-the-less, which helped the accession to world popularity for sure.
I feel like there are many works of art and artists that were essentially creating "ordinary" paintings that somehow found their way to fame through all sorts of strange ways. For example, Van Gogh's work was considered pretty terrible while he was alive. It took his sister-in-law to see the value and prove to the world that Van Gogh's work was worth appreciating.
Anyway, super appreciate the feedback, and I LOVE discussions like this!
Who else thought the mona lisa was bigger?
Yes, my first thought when seeing the relative size. Funny how our minds made that assumption.
Does Mona Lisa have any direct descendants?
Wow, that is a great question! There isn't a lot of info out there, but her name was Lisa del Giocondo. She apparently had five kids, but not a lot is known of them or even their names. She led a pretty normal, middle class life apparently. Thanks for watching and the feedback!
perugia cracked his knee to break the frame and glass;)
Meanwhile, someone smeared this painting with cake today
Haha! Yes they did! About the dumbest reason for vandalizing a painting (or the glass in front of it) that I’ve ever heard of.
So they smashed the glass and hid the painting under their clothes, that doesn't sound like one of the most fascinating heighsts in the world.
Hmm, not sure if you are being sarcastic, but if so, I agree it's not the most Hollywood-esque heist. However, when you realize that stealing this painting is what actually caused it to become so popular world-wide, that IS fascinating! Thanks for watching and subscribing!
another really good video. I never knew. Thank you
Can someone steal my art? I need it to become a world treasure.
Hahaha! Good point/idea!
This video is amazing! Congratulations for this content. I'm sad not so many people have seen it!
So appreciate this feedback! And yes, I guess people think learning something cannot be fun, thus, it’s harder to get the views:/ But, I’ll keep on making content! Thanks again for the support!🙌🙌
Amazing fact! I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing with us (:
Super appreciate the feedback! I didn't know about it until recently, so of course, I had to make an episode out of it. Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Nice video
Mayur Arun Thanks!
Nate, I use your Art of the Selfie video with my 4th grade students for a Digital Self-Portrait project. And I just put a link for your Salvadore Dali on a presentation for my 5th graders. I'm disappointed I can't share this one! The nude sculpture, and the alcohol and weapons stuff wouldn't fly with our parents. Oh well - 2 out of 3 isn't bad, lol! I learned a bunch though, thank you
Thanks so much for getting in touch! I love knowing my episodes are being used in the classroom, which is exactly what they were intended for! So sorry about this episode for your classroom. I'm currently in Cyprus, but once I get back home I can edit out a kids version and upload it! I do have an episode I filmed at the Louvre with the REAL Mona Lisa, which is definitely student friendly!
I can't thank you enough for your support, and for being an educator. Please send me an email if you have any specific ideas for episodes that would be helpful, or if you ever want to do a Zoom chat with students! Thanks!
@@artrageousnate Hi Nate. I love your videos! Would love to share an edited version of this one with my elementary art students (they are very intrigued by the Mona Lisa!) Do you have an edited version? I shared the student friendly Louvre video, but couldn't find an edited version of this. TIA!
@@kellykoble9293 Hi Kelly! Thanks for putting this back on my radar. I'll work on it this week, and hopefully post an elementary friendly version shortly!
Thanks so much for the support, and would love to learn more about which episodes you use, demographics, your classroom needs, etc. We are always writing grants around here! My email is nate@artrageouswithnate.com if you have time to connect!
Just wanted to let you know I'm editing a new version now! I'll try to get up asap!
Meh I’m smoking a clove cigarette and honestly that painting is way overrated. That girl in the pic is also hella basic.
Anyone here after watching oceans 11
jaffar farman I really have to know how this happened? I do love Oceans 11 though!
Da Vinki??
Mona Lisa definitely is a masterpiece..
So no one cared til she was gone
Isn't this common knowledge?
Not so much! I've been to the Louvre several times and stood in the room where the Mona Lisa is hanging telling people about this story. I'd say one of of 100 know about this. Not sure why, since it's such a fascinating story! Thanks for the feedback!
Bravo.
Thanks, Brian!
Wow
Crazy story, right? Super appreciate the feedback, and thanks for watching!
Did Raphael steal the painting
Not that I'm aware of, but I will double check. Thanks for the feedback!
Cool maker of this video
Super appreciate the feedback! It was one of my favorite episodes I've ever animated. I loved the story, so it had to be an episode. Thanks again!
Can France give us our things back? 😴
Haha! I hear ya! It really is so strange how the art world has come acquire pieces. Trust me, when it comes to Napoleon, he stole so much art and artifacts it's mind boggling! Not sure what the answer is, but I know it's a topic people get passionate about! Thanks for the feedback and for watching!
Artrageous with Nate no problem, but is there mostly French art in France’s museums?
🤯
Melvin took it
Awesome! Had no clue
Thanks, Vic!
Artrageous with Nate DINNER TIME
💫💫💫💫💫💫
wowowowowowoowowowowowoowowow i didnt know thats coooooooooool tank you for makin dat vidio
Skippy dinglechalke Haha! I was super surprised the first time I heard about this story as well! Glad you liked it! Thanks for the feedback and for subscribing!🙌
how come critics can judge other's work without being master of it?
I wonder the same
Why is that even an issue? A excellent football manager doesn't have to have been an excellent footballer. Furthermore, an accomplished artist might not be good with words in describing a piece of art. So, we have the art critic.
This guy looks like the villain in paul blart 2 who literally stole a painting
i saw this
That's fantastic! I wish everyone could.
I don't see her a beautiful picture
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Was mona lisa a man ?
No
But why is it not in an Italian gallery?
That is exactly what Perugia said! One of the main reasons why he and his brothers targeted the Mona Lisa was that he felt it should be returned to Italy. The reality is when DaVinci was older the king of France hired him to design ideas like war machines. So, DaVinci moved to France in a small castle (I've been there, and it's awesome!) where he also continued working on the Mona Lisa.
After the French revolution it was moved to the Louvre. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching, subscribing, and the feedback!
It was until Napolean conquered Italy and took many of their Rennaissance masterpieces. Napolean actually had the Mona Lisa hung his bedroom for a while before it ended up in the Louve.
It was completed when Da Vinci was living in France
Imagine Getting Pinned lol
Where Taal erupted
Your videos are good, but why is there nudity in a lot of them? I know it's art, but I am unable to show your videos to my elementary age students. It's too bad!
Pamela Longley hi Pamela! Glad to know you enjoy them! Honestly, out of nearly 100 episodes, I can’t even think of more than one that might have nudity, and to clarify, the nudity is often abstract (Warhol sketch,) and is a painting or sculpture.
When I was a classroom teacher, before we studied renaissance art I would send home a letter to all parents basically explaining the difference between pornography and art. It’s nearly impossible to avoid all of it especially during the renaissance period!
I do, however, often take out nudity. For example, many of Frida Kahlo‘s paintings include nudity, and I feature any time I showed a paining I did so without showing anything.
Either way, thanks for being an art educator!
Lol snowflake
