#OnThisDay in 1911 French playwright and poet Guillaume Apollinaire was arrested on suspicion of stealing the Mona Lisa. He was released a week later after implicating Picasso in the theft. Apollinaire was a popular member of the Parisian artistic community and became one of the foremost French poets of the early 20th century following the publication of Alcools in 1913. #HistoryGetsLIT
vivastory The Mona Lisa theft was wild! There should be a Netflix documentary on it🤣 The museum guard was literally asleep on the job 2y
TheKidUpstairs @vivastory I'm surprised there's not one! I think there's a never ending audience for heist movies (myself included - Smooth and well crafted, or bumbling amateur thief, I'll watch them all) 2y
