# Classic Edible Art The Giant Bread Mona Lisa Mosaic is Made From Over 10,000 Pieces of Bread By Michael Hines | Published 2011-04-30 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bread-mona-lisa-mosaic References: [odditycentral](http://www.odditycentral.com/art/toast-mona-lisa-mosaic-is-a-labour-of-loaf.html) & [extremehousewife.blogspot](http://extremehousewife.blogspot.com/2011/04/morisanchu-mona-lisa-mosaic.html) Mosaic artist Laura Hadland is at it again, this time making a giant Bread Mona Lisa Mosaic in the city of Matera, Italy. The Bread Mona Lisa Mosaic measured 29 feet wide and 35 feet long and was constructed using 10,080 [pieces of bread](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bread-slicing-machine). Oh, the sandwiches that could have been. The Bread Mona Lisa Mosaic was made using plain bread, toasted bread and my personal favorite, bread with [dark and milk chocolate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ed-ruscha-x-andsons) poured on top of it. The mosaic was built for the Japanese television show Morisanchu, a show featuring a comedic trio of women. While I have never caught an episode of the show, I am interested in seeing it now, as we share a common love of bread with chocolate on it. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Bread Art:** Opportunity for artists and designers to explore new forms of edible art using bread as a medium. - **Food Mosaics:** Potential for creating visually appealing mosaics using various types of food, presenting innovative ways to display and appreciate culinary art. - **Culinary Entertainment:** Emerging trend of incorporating food as a central element in television shows and other forms of entertainment, providing a unique and engaging experience for viewers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can explore the intersection of food and art, creating new opportunities for collaborations and exhibitions. - **Food and Beverages:** Restaurants, bakeries, and food producers can leverage food mosaics as a creative marketing strategy to attract customers and showcase their products in a visually enticing way. - **Broadcasting and Entertainment:** Television networks and production companies can explore the incorporation of food-related content, such as culinary mosaics, to capture audience attention and differentiate their programming. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Iconic Artwork Toy Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-art-mona-lisa-set.md) - [Reimagined Puzzled Artful Paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portrait-of-a-woman-in-a-hat.md) - [Immersive Fine Art Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-joconde.md) - [Iconic Painting-Inspired Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/girl-with-a-pearl-earring-1.md) - [Lebanese Food-Inspired Bakery Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/common-breads.md) - [Bread-Encrusted Gemstone Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rising-collection.md) - [Parisian Landmark Chocolate Replicas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/notre-dame-cathedral.md) - [Record-Breaking Gummy Mosaics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gummy-candy-mosaic.md) - [Flaky Croissant Breads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croissant-bread.md)
