Last night Da Vinci's Mona Lisa was stolen from the Louvre, the premiere art gallery in Paris, France.

Today, the astonished curators are wondering why any thief would be foolish enough to steel the painting, as the world famous picture could never be re-sold.

Now that it has vanished the Police must solve a crime as enigmatic as the Mona Lisa's smile itself.

I have read an article that the Mona Lisa's painting was an attempt by Da Vinci to create a three-dimensional aspect in painting.
