- Attention Deficit Creator Disorder: Leonardo da Vinci as well as other artists from The Renaissance were especially prone to this. The Mona Lisa was apparently done in fits and starts. While employed by the Duke of Milan, Leonardo had plans for a huge bronze statue of a horse and rider that never happened. During this time he was also working on and off on The Last Supper, which wound up taking about three years. Although the horse did finally get built. The horse statue wasn't his fault, though: Milan ended up in a war when he was in the designing stages, and the bronze meant for the statue was used to make cannons, instead.
- Colbert Bump: The painting really became known as a masterpiece to the general public after it was the victim of a brazen art heist in 1911. The resulting media frenzy put the painting in the headlines for months, making it a household name.
