This whole story is not a money story but a matter of conviction. Hekking was truly convinced that his version was the good one. And from there he entered a media game: in 1954 he summoned the regional press in Nice to tell them that he was challenging the Louvre to prove that his work was the original.2. He says that after the 1911 painting was stolen by an Italian thief, the painting that was returned to the Louvre by the police was not the original.3. We think that a collector can buy a replica like this because that way he will have this universal image, which is also from the 17th century. And he is also going to appropriate his history and thus have his own Mona Lisa.
