From Absolute History.

In 1911, the world was rocked by the "unimaginable" news: the Mona Lisa had been stolen from the Louvre. For over two years, the masterpiece was truly gone, leaving the "greatest detectives in the world" clueless and leading to the interrogation of famous figures like Pablo Picasso. In this documentary, we retrace the footsteps of Vincenzo Peruggia, the house painter who walked out of the museum with Da Vinci’s treasure wrapped in his smock. Through exclusive interviews with Peruggia’s 84-year-old daughter, Celestina, and access to long-lost psychiatric reports and personal letters, we strip away the myths.
