Studio d'Xavier has added a photo to the pool:
After his successful theft of the Mona Lisa in 1911, Vincenzo Peruggia went on to collect other objects d'art, including an ultra rare Pez dispenser patterned after Les Demoiselles d'Avignon and a Jack in the Box found at the scene of the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre attributed to Marcel Duchamp.
As a conservator of fine art, Vincenzo refilled the Picasso Pez dispenser with archival grade candies, and he cleaned the blood from Duchamp's piece with H2O2. The lack of archival grade Sharpies prevented Peruggia from replacing the eyebrows on La Gioconda. Although he served time for the theft of Da Vinci's painting, Vincenzo's favorite was always the Mona Lisa. Historians believe this was due to the difficulty of fabricating a cubist or a Jack costume.
