Mona Lisa attacked - again

I can't imagine why a person would attempt to damage such a famous and special painting. The Russian lady most have been mad. I went to see the Mana Lisa in the building in Paris. I imagine the lady wanted public attention. I wonder why people want to be bad and damage other's property. They should keep their hands to themselves.

I can't imagine why someone would do that. I think they would have to be pretty troubled, mentally. Maybe you are right and they are only seeking to be 'famous' for a little while, but I dont' think a normal person would like that kind of attention. I can't imagine why anyone would want to destroy a priceless work of art like that, it is a crime. It's hard to understand for sure.

When a person goes about on a rampage for destroying a public property or a great piece of art, i believe, its a prevailing sense of saddism that motivates them. What other reason does she have to be so violent? And how stupid do they have to be to think that the painting wont be protected against such vandalism!! Destroying a great work of art would never accomplish anything and i really wonder what these people would be thinking when they go about it!!! Sometimes, it might be the media attention that they crave for.. After all, there is no such thing as bad publicity!!!

I already read it from yahoo and hopefully the painting of Monalisa from Louvre museum is properly protected by the hard mirror which is covering it. The female woman maybe is quite jealous of her Mona lisa smile that she would like it to be destroyed. It is a great painting by Leonardo da Vinci. That is not the first time that painting was attacked and I think the person who do this is mentally ill or very jealous of the painting that it becomes famous. Or,maybe they have misinterpret the beauty of the painting have a curse to the onlooker and may be associated with some evil grin. It is really a strange things but person who do it tend to act diferently from the people who fall in line and adore its beauty. ALl I could say they are a bit lunatics and have mental problems..

I don't understand why people tend to do some of the things they do. People are way to complex. In some cases people have potential mental issues or something of the sort. Again, people are so complex that it is very hard to determine why they are destructive.

I think its a real example of foolishness by whosoever attempted it because ruining such a brilliant art is the topmost example of stupidity and knowing that it has a glass on it and stil doing it is like adding cherry to the cake, hehehehehe........!!!

as I read your discussion I was trying to figure out whysomeone would deliberately try to harm a great painting. Could it be they are jealous and Angry because they lack the talent to make a great painting like that? do they want attention at any cause. this really confuses me. I love great art and great music and can but Admire those talented people who can do these great things. what a pity these would be destroyers are bent on that stupid attempts to destroy something precious and priceless.

I do not get why people would want to damage such a beautiful painting like the Mona Lisa. There is no point in doing this as they will always get caught. If they hate the Mona Lisa for some reason, keep it to themselves unless they are mental or something.

I think people just dont really think about what exactly their doing. She knew it was protected when she stood in front of it and threw the cup. Did she think she had some magic power that would make it break? I think not. Simply a publicity stunt.. A rude one at that

Thanks for sharing. In my opinion such persons are mad, insane. It is good no harm was done. She never knew it was bulet proof glass!!Cheers. Professor. .
