Johnathan Borhampton on The Unveiling of 'The Mona Lisa' at the Louvre

  • Summary

  • The Louvre Museum is an iconic historic monument to the French spirit of art and culture, but it is perhaps most famous as the home of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa. Jonathan Borhampton was at the unveiling of the painting when it was first moved to its current home. In this interview from 1903, he tells the Sunday Times-Sentinel of London what it was like to be in the presence of such greatness, as well as how he deals with the depression of not standing in front of a famous painting when he's at home.
