re: Seriously, what makes the Mona Lisa such a big deal?

One of the best things post COVID lockdowns was lack of crowds at major tourist attractions. I have pics of my kids right in front of it with no crowd. I've never seen a timer but they will move you along after a bit. The pic above is an odd perspective. Half the room isnt trying to look at ML but the pic gives the impression you are stuck behind that crowd to get a glimpse. Also, ML looks much larger in that pic than it actually is from across the room.
