A passing lane (North American English) or overtaking lane (British, Irish and Australian English) is the lane on a multi-lane highway or motorway closest to the center of the road (the central reservation). In some countries, lanes are described as being on the 'inside' or the 'outside' of a road - which one the passing lane is varies.
When Italian handyman Vincenzo Peruggia stole the Mona Lisa from the Louvre in 1911, he never could have guessed her absence would be the very thing that made her the most recognizable painting on the planet.
Earlier this month, the Art Newspaper reported that the artist who created the Prado's copy of the Mona Lisa was probably Da Vinci's assistant, the young artist known as SalaÃ¬, who is also believed to have been the master's lover. RELATED:
