谈及油画，人们往往首先联想到的是《蒙娜丽莎》。这幅作品曾长期珍藏在法国皇室的枫丹白露宫中，普通民众难得一睹其真容。直至卢浮宫落成后，《蒙娜丽莎》才移至卢浮宫展出。尽管它一直深受艺术圈的喜爱，但并未被作为镇馆之宝来广泛宣传。然而，真正让《蒙娜丽莎》声名鹊起的是一起失窃事件，这起案件甚至被誉为“完美的犯罪”。
It's a hot Summer's evening in Paris.
For weeks a record-breaking heat wave has been cooking the city leaving the streets empty and the Louvre quieter than ever.
No one dares to go outside but for one man, it's time to strike.
Throughout the night he pulls off the heist of the century Plucking the Mona Lisa from the Louvre and disappearing into the city.
This set off a worldwide investigation leading French police down a 2-year rabbit hole of false leads and famous arrests before a mysterious letter eventually gave the thief away.
We modeled the entire thing to show you how a single man stole the Mona Lisa how he almost got away with it and the elaborate plan behind the heist that was eventually revealed decades later.
As the sun went down that Sunday evening the last few tourists were trickling out of the Louvre but just before it closed, a man entered the museum dressed in the Louvre's official white uniform blending in as an employee, he quickly found his way to a small storage closet squeezed his way in, and waited out the entire night.
The Louvre was closed the next day so very few employees were going to be patrolling the museum.
At precisely 7:15 the next morning the thief emerged into an almost empty Louvre With no one in sight, he quickly made his way into the Salon Carré and there it was.
At the time, the Mona Lisa didn't have its own room and it wasn't nearly as famous as it is today but the thief was about to change that.
