Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa was always revered but never more than after its notorious theft from the Louvre. The thief, Vincenzo Peruggia, worked as a handyman at the museum. On Aug. 21, 1911, he wrapped the painting in a blanket and walked out of the museum during the early morning. It's hard to believe, but the theft wasn't discovered for several hours. The painting was missing for two years before its return to the museum.
