Mona Lisa and Co

That is not my favorite Leonardo painting; besides that, it's quite small: barely fifty centimeters high. At the Louvre, it used to be practically inaccessible, so dense was the crowd trying to admire it. Since then, they've moved it, and the new room is larger, so the throng is less oppressive. At the Prado (Madrid), they apparently found an earlier version of the work, much brighter. Converting this canvas to stereoscopy wasn't easy, as it seems Da Vinci had already considered 3D when composing it. It's a shame, by the way, that Mona Lisa enthusiasts are less familiar with the brilliant inventor's remarkable drawings and sketches!

What follows is a series of montages foreshadowing the museums of the future: beautiful reproductions of paintings displayed just about everywhere—in offices, homes, train stations, doctors' offices, gyms, and so on. Art (especially painting) for everyone and everywhere, and no longer confined to museums, which will be reserved for exceptional outings.
