Mona Lisa’s smile hints at embarrassment
that all these people bother coming so far to see her,
when really she was nothing special.

At a Halloween party this year, everyone arrived in costume except for a woman who wore the pedestrian all black clothing with this Mona Lisa purse on her shoulder. She began to apologize profusely for not having had time to think of a fun outfit. I assured her, “Don’t put your purse down and if anyone asks what your costume is, say ‘I’m the Louvre, of course!'”
Can you imagine how much fun Jeff Koons had collaborating with the ever evolving Louis Vuitton for its Masters Collection? It features the King of Pop’s favorites in renaissance art from the landscapes of Monet and Van Gogh to the literally cheeky Reclining Girl by Boucher. Which one might your Santa have on the list?
Titian’s Mars, Venus and Cupid 1550
Van Gogh
Monet’s Water Lilies 1916
Boucher’s Reclining Girl 1752
