The Pneumatic Mona Lisa

Pneumatic Mona Lisa

Leonardo da Vinci spent 16 years working on the Mona Lisa. Of course, now the painting is world-renowned, but a little-known fact is that da Vinci abandoned the piece numerous times, only to come back years later to finish the painting shortly before his death in 1519.

Well, we humbly submit that the video you are about to view captures the making of a DIY tour de force that's almost on par with da Vinci's masterpiece. This art will blow you away. We are referring to the completion of the lovely lady's famous likeness in just over a minute — by using a nail gun.

The video has triggered volleys of scorn from critics who snicker that this "masterpiece" of hot-dipped galvanized metal is nothing more than camera trickery. Is it art or is it asinine? You be the judge.

Nail it! Either way, it's fascinating to watch.
