Why is The Mona Lisa So Expensive?

Two years later, the painting was recovered, turning the Mona Lisa into a global sensation. The audacious theft not only fueled public fascination but also propelled the painting's value to stratospheric heights. Peruggia's misguided patriotism inadvertently transformed the Mona Lisa into an iconic symbol of high-stakes art heists.
