It’s the most controversial and shocking new interpretation of Leonardo’s work since The Da Vinci Code: It’s The Da Vinci Toad!
Expert art historian Teabing Saunière* commented that “This novel new vision of Leonardo’s art easily equals Dan Brown’s novel in terms of historical accuracy. When you look closely at the Mona Lisa, you can clearly see a mostly dry looking, airy landscape, perfectly suited for toads. And what of Mona Lisa’s enigmatic smirk? Leonardo even mentions toads in his own notebooks! Based on this evidence, I think we can conclude that the Mona Lisa was really based on a toad.”
* Not a real person, of course. ‘The Da Vinci Toad’ is really just a shirt / hat created as a parody of the popular book & movie.
