Mona Lisa 30 Minute Expert

In today's episode, Zack has 30 minutes to become an "expert" on... Mona Lisa! Who IS she, am I right?? Zack definitively answers this question... psych! Of course he doesn't, but he does posit some pretty fun theories. Whether Mona Lisa is Lisa Giacondo, the artist known as Salai, or Da Vinci himself, she is quite bewitching. There are a few fun surprises in Mona Lisa - her hands may have been painted twice! She has letters in her eyes! What a gal. And she may in fact owe her extreme level of fame to an Italian art thief who kept her out of the public eye for two years. Way to build intrigue, dude. She may be small (and she may be pregnant) but Lisa has a big place in our hearts, whoever she may be.
Highlights Include:
- An art heist that involves Picasso!
- Sigmund Freud's opinion of who Mona Lisa is
- The hottest hairstyle for 1500's ladies of the evening
