An activist targeted Leonardo Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa on Monday, throwing cake at the portrait inside the Louvre Museum in Paris.

There are people who are destroying the Earth. Think about it. Artists tell you: think of the Earth. That’s why I did this.

The Paris prosecutor’s office said Monday that the man, 36, was detained following Sunday’s incident and sent to a police psychiatric unit, and that it had opened an investigation into the damage of cultural artifacts.The painting was stolen in 1911 by a museum employee, an event which increased its international fame.

Mona Lisa attacked with cake by man disguised as older woman in wheelchairThe Mona Lisa cake attack left a conspicuous white creamy smear on the glass but the famous work by Leonardo da Vinci wasn't damaged. “White creamy smear” also accurately describes the attacker. Oh well they don’t let regular people get anywhere close to the real painting if it even still exist I'm impressed he got that close. I've been in that room and it's so crowded you can hardly get close enough to it to see it.
