ROTFLOL!

I don't think that they were much into blowing things up in those days
-- very few war paintings.  If you're into Blood, Guts, and Gore (tm),
you'll want to try the plethora of Martyrdom paintings, or the
"Biblical Revenge" paintings -- aka Judith and the Head of Holofernes

I saw the Mona Lisa this past summer.  The crowds were very distracting 
to being able to see her and appreciate her.


My Sister-in-law had seen her on previous visits and said she was more 
fascinated with the large painting at the other end of the room with 
all it's details.  No one was looking at that painting, so I was able 
to spend far more time, "up close and personal" with that painting than 
the Mona Lisa. If I could have had the same viewing opportunity, I 
would most likely have enjoyed the Mona Lisa much more.

Have you seen it in person?




I have, and I didn't think it was worth fighting the crush of people 
standing around it. Also it was so dark as to make it hard to see.  
The time spent working my way towards the painting and fighting my way 
out again would have been much better spent in any number of 
relatively empty galleries.
