that one of the “mona lisa” is one i can truly appreciate. when we were at the louvre for a two hour forced march during our one night in paris, my wife and i were absolutely stunned at the enormous and surly mob scene in front of that famous painting. we were roped off from it to a radius of 20-30 feet and the protective covering over the painting had all of the optical characteristics of an elementary school window during cold and flu season. the enormous canvas opposite to it was fascinating simply by the size difference between it and the “mona lisa.” probably the most disappointing element in our trip to paris.
