A "famous feud" at the Metropolitan Museum In New York, between da Vinci's Mona Lisa, then on loan, and Rembrandt's Aristotle, ignoring for a moment the bust Of Homer and instead contemplating murder.

The war was won by La Gioconda: 1,077,521 people waited In a line three blocks long just to get to see her. The average monthy draw Of the entire museum was usually less than half a million. This 1963 work is part Of the permanent collection Of the Metropolitan Museum.
