When we were at the Louvre, I almost skipped going to the room with the Mona Lisa. I had read about how small the painting is and god knows we have seen reproductions aplenty. But at the last minute, I dashed up the stairs and into the room, while Ken waited outside. I’m so glad I did. I laughed out loud at the desperate snapping of digital cameras and cell phones. Now I know the meaning of that smile–she’s amused by the paparazzi.
