An insane young male visitor masked as an old lady in a wheelchair threw a piece of cake at Leonardo Da Vicini's Mona Lisa painting at Paris' Louvre Museum.
The boy stood up from his chair and acted out his outrage at what is presumable the most famous work of art, which dates back to 1517.
The attack was defined as “vandalism.” Nevertheless, since the painting is protected by bullet-proof glass, the cake never reached its target.

The man said in French that “Think about it. Artists tell you: think of the Earth. That’s why I did this.” “Think of the Earth, people are destroying the Earth.”
The Mona Lisa has suffered different attacks over the years. Two of them were in 1956, one with acid and another with a stone.
In 1974, a woman tossed a kind of red spray when it was on exhibition at the National Museum in Tokyo, and in August 2009, a tourist threw a cup of tea at it.
