Man, smears cake on Mona Lisa - Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece the Mona Lisa has been targeted by an individual after he smeared cake over it “in the name of saving the planet”. According to several videos circulating on social networks, the man threw a piece of cake on the work of art at the Louvre Museum on Sunday. The leaked images show the glass of the early 16th-century work partially covered in cream before being cleaned by museum guards. The man was reportedly dressed as an old lady and jumped out of a wheel chair and attempted to smash the bullet proof glass of the Mona Lisa. Then proceeded to smear cake on the glass, and throw roses everywhere before being tackled by security.
