October 18, 1911: A Daily Scene of Chaos and Controversy at the Louvre This illustration from Puck magazine captures a daily scene of chaos and controversy that unfolded at the Musée du Louvre on October 18, 1911. The image shows a group of patrons blatantly removing paintings and art objects from the museum walls, with the intention of stealing them. The audacity of their actions is evident as they walk past unsuspecting museum guards, seemingly unfazed by the potential consequences. The year 1911 was a significant one for the art world, as it marked the beginning of the infamous theft of the Mona Lisa painting by an unknown artist, later identified as Leonardo da Vinci's greatest masterpiece. This audacious crime, which took place on August 21, 1911, cast a shadow over the museum and the art world at large. However, this illustration from Puck magazine predates the Mona Lisa theft by over two months. It is believed to be a satirical commentary on the lax security measures in place at the Louvre at the time, and the ease with which one could potentially steal artworks. The image serves as a reminder of the precarious nature of art preservation and the importance of museum security. Despite the best efforts of the museum authorities, the theft of the Mona Lisa remained unsolved for over two years, until the painting was recovered in Italy in 1913. This incident brought worldwide attention to the importance of art security and the need for improved measures to protect cultural heritage.
