41-year-old art vandal Hugo Villegas throws a brick at Leonardo Da Vinci’s ‘Mona Lisa’ in Musée du Louvre, Ier, Paris, Île-de-France, France.

A psychiatric report on Villegas by Dr. Gouriou on 14 January 1957 found that the man was insane, heard strange voices, and had intended to murder the Argentinean dictator Juan Perón but went instead for the less well protected Mona Lisa.
