In this video, Dhruv Rathee dives deep into the captivating tale of the Mona Lisa. Set in the bustling city of Paris, an audacious theft occurs at the Louvre Museum. The mastermind, Vincenzo Peruggia, along with accomplices Michele Lancelotti and Vincenzo, manage to steal Leonardo da Vinci's iconic painting, the Mona Lisa. Astonishingly, the theft has remained unnoticed for nearly 30 hours. Eventually, the world is alerted to the crime, and even the legendary artist Pablo Picasso is questioned! The painting remains missing for 16 months, and its return to the Louvre only adds to its global fame. We then delve into the woman's identity depicted in the painting, Lisa Gherardini, and the various theories surrounding her. The painting's artistic traits, the science behind Mona Lisa's elusive smile, and the discovery of another possible version of the painting are also discussed. Join us as we unravel the mysteries behind one of the world's most celebrated artworks and its intriguing history.

    Mona Lisa se jyada Dhruv bhai ki Smile jyada Mysterious hai 😏
  • I finally feel satisfied that the genius of Leonardo da Vinci is being recognised. He was not only a painter, but is also considered the greatest intellect in human history. I would suggest the book 'Mastery' from Robert Greene who has covered a great part of his history and how he developed his intellect. Dhruv Rathee, I think we all would really love it if you made the video on the life of Da Vinci. And maybe even start a series on the lives of such minds.

    Who has come here after watching D.B Cooper's video?
  • @Cayenne_56
    Here are some recommendations for your next amazing videos :- 1) Solar flares 2025 2) NASA Artemis 2 mission 3) Elisa Lam Mysterious death 4) Alcatraz escape 'The 'IMPOSSIBLE' escape' 5) Nazca lines 6) Stone henge (which is still unsolved) 7) Kuldhara village disappearance (whole village just vanished out of nowhere) Hope you'll make videos on any of these topics in future❤❤❤😊 Love from Maharashtra ❤
  • The Mona Lisa, to me, is the greatest emotional painting ever done. The way the smile flickers makes it a work of both art and science, because Leonardo understood optics, and the muscles of the lips, and how light strikes the eye - all of it goes into making the Mona Lisa's smile so mysterious and elusive.

    I am following ur channel since 2 yrs believe me I have never seen any YouTube channel to be so much consistent and also providing such rich and magnificent content Hats off to u and ur team. As a student this channel helps me a lot to enhance my knowledge thank u for such wonderful videos.
  • Recently I subscribed your channel and o boy, I have done one of the best things I have ever done... Your videos are historically so accurate, it's amazing... And your presentation is also superb... Happy to be your new subscriber...
  • @azeemmhod3887
    Hey Dhruv! I've been following your educational videos for a while now and I'm continually impressed by your ability to shed light on fascinating and often overlooked topics. I recently came across the Gunaa Cave in Kodaikanal, and its rich history and mysterious aura instantly caught my attention. I believe a video exploring the cave's significance, its legends, and the cultural and geological aspects surrounding it would be both informative and captivating for your audience. Your insightful analysis and research skills would undoubtedly do justice to unraveling the mysteries of this intriguing landmark. I hope you'll consider adding it to your list of video topics! Keep up the fantastic work!
  • @zishanshaikh1751
    Last point was the most important point...when I visited Paris...our guide told us that french people don't like Mona Lisa as it overshadows the great art pieces in the Museum and it is only popular because it was stolen
  • @adityasurve8106
    I'm a beloved fan of the subject of Art. I have watched many videos on the subject of the Mona Lisa. But, this one is truly satisfying. No mystery, no fiction, no conspiracy theories, only facts of history. This episode is deeply studied, masterclass analysed and keenly presented. Once again hats off to the team Dhruv Rathee. Keep it up. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    02:18 The Mona Lisa is the most famous painting in the world. 04:36 The Mona Lisa's names come from her married name and the word for cheerful. 06:54 The Mona Lisa painting was possibly commissioned by Leonardo's father and has historical significance in France. 09:12 Vincenzo Perugia stole the Mona Lisa in an attempt to bring it back to Italy from France. 11:30 The Mona Lisa's mysterious smile is created through a technique called Fumato. 13:48 Da Vinci's obsession with Mona Lisa's smile and his research on optics. 16:06 Experts theorize that Leonardo da Vinci worked on two different versions of the Mona Lisa. 18:17 After the theft, Mona Lisa's popularity increased and it became the world's most famous painting. 💛🧡

    I love and life your observation of painting, So many theories are on this Monalisa, I like your explanation about painting,I am very thankful to know about Rafael who was Naburer of Monalisa and he should be sketching of her or paint it' s maybe Actually Rafael also an Artist and he also studied by other science like Lionardo Da Vinci, You exhibit another Sketch of Rafael and that's very similar to Monalisa 's Painting, What is truth I don't know but your video is very powerful and important for me 🙏😊👌
