About this listen
On October 19, 2025, the world was shocked to learn of a brazen daylight heist of precious jewels from the Louvre. But this was not the first ambitious heist carried off in broad daylight at the Louvre.
In fact, in 1911, another heist took place - and this time the stolen property was none other than the world-famous "Mona Lisa" by Leonardo Da Vinci.
Join the Gilded Gentleman for the tale of this robbery— an inside job! —and the international search for both the painting and the thief.
This episode originally ran in February 2023, but recent events demanded its return in a newly re-edited, re-mastered edition.
