This reads like a wildly confident statement about art.

While at the same time not mentioning the actual name of "the artist that painted Mona Lisa" (Leonardo Da Vinci), nor knowing that the name of his master is very well known, and even the influence of artists that he seemed to despise (eg Michaelangelo) are very well documented as well.

Maaybe this narrow view of (art) history needs to be fine-tuned on more data :-)
