Congratulations Allyson! You hit a home run with this podcast. I also felt the same frustration when trying to view the Mona Lisa at the Louvre – between the small size of the painting, thick bullet proof glass, and hundreds of tourists, all jockeying for position, I wasn’t able to give the painting it’s correct due. You provided a very interesting history of the painting, and taught me a lot. I especially liked the information regarding the theft and vandalism of the painting. New information for me. The music was a wonderful accompaniment. I look forward to listening to future podcasts.
New to the podcast. Best visual description of the Mona Lisa I have heard. I need to pay more attention to backgrounds.
