Mona Lisa licked into shape
Updated on 17 April 2009
Leonardo da Vinci fans were in for a shock outside a theatre as an artwork depicting the Mona Lisa as an ice-cream cow went on display.
While the original masterpiece remains virtually untarnished in more than 500 years, the latest impression on display near the National Theatre in London was at risk of melting within five minutes of direct sunlight.
The "Moo-na Lisa", by food artist Prudence Emma Staite, was created using biscuits, chocolate and ice-cream as part of a promotion by Ben and Jerry's.
