The Anarchist Plot To Steal The Mona Lisa
From The Transmetropolitan Review
Few people know that the French anarchists of the 1890s funded their movement through burglary, and even fewer know that anarchists stole the Mona Lisa from the Louvre in 1911. However, fans of the hit Netflix show Lupin have already ingested the legacy of those anarchist burglars, for the titular Lupin was based on the legendary anarchist burglar Alexandre Marius Jacob, head of the infamous gang of Nightworkers, whose daring thefts resonate even today in 2026.
