Things look fine when recognising Mona Lisa upside down. After turning it the right way up, our brains perceive that Mona Lisa looks terrible. Why was it so difficult to recognise the altered Mona Lisa when the paintings were upside down? Your mind is not familar with the way an upside down face should look like and therefore didn't noticed the oddness of the painting.
