    I don’t understand why people take pictures of the mona Lisa. Professional photos of it exist online.

      The point is to show to others that you stood in front of something famous, the painting itself is of no value to these people

        I also like to take pictures of art from alternate angles, which works better for sculpture than paintings.

        Not always. Most photos I take are really just intended for future me. A few of them have famous things I care about.
