I just watched a doc that mentioned Paris as the city of the Mona Lisa and wondered what is it that makes that painting so special after all these years. Btw, im in Asia and Ive seen the painting countless times through references. I cant remember the first time I heard/saw the painting but it must’ve been when I was a toddler. How can an image get so famous?

As Phantom Limb from the show *The Venture Bros.* so eloquently said while trying to sell a Rembrandt painting:
“The Mona Lisa isn’t a better paintinf, it’s just a more famous painting. And it was only *made* famous because it was stolen!”
That’s literally it. Someone once stole the Mona Lisa.
