With the release of the sequel film to 'Joker' fast approaching, leading actress Lady Gaga has released a video promoting the film and her upcoming album 'Harlequin' which sees her using lipstick to paint a smile on the Mona Lisa's protective glass.
The response from fans and critics has been mixed with some seeing the artistic reasons behind it, and others reminding us of the protesters who targeted cultural venues to cause damage to world-famous art. The Mona Lisa being one of them.
In recent years, protesters used cake in 2022 and cans of soup in 2024 to attack the Mona Lisa in the Louvre. French reporters at Le Figaro have questioned the museum's decision to allow this scene to be carried out in the promotional video.
What do you think?
