EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Who could blame La Joconde for making a little tour of the world?", takes us on a journey through art history and intrigue. The image depicts Leonardo da Vinci's iconic masterpiece, La Gioconda (or the Mona Lisa), as it embarks on an unexpected adventure. In 1911, this enigmatic portrait was stolen from its home in the Louvre Museum, leaving authorities puzzled and art enthusiasts devastated. For two years, its whereabouts remained shrouded in mystery until Vincenzo Peruggia was apprehended while attempting to sell it to the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. This postcard from the early 20th century captures the essence of that audacious theft and subsequent recovery. A steam locomotive serves as a symbol of travel and exploration, carrying La Joconde across continents. As she gazes out at us with her enigmatic smile, we can't help but wonder about her experiences during this extraordinary world tour. The presence of a dove perched atop her head adds another layer of symbolism to this intriguing composition. Doves are often associated with peace and freedom, perhaps suggesting that even after being stolen and recovered, La Joconde remains an eternal symbol of artistic beauty transcending borders. Through this artwork by French School from the 20th century, we are reminded not only of Leonardo da Vinci's genius but also how art has the power to captivate hearts around the globe.
