Who said anything about breaking in? Someone could pay for admission, take a picture and post it on-line for people to view for free with out having to pay for a ticket to view said painting.
Now if the Louvre owned the painting, they could provide high res photos of the painting on-line for those who are not able to get to Paris to view the painting in person for a fraction of the admission cost.
Yes they are missing out on a financial stream as not everyone who has an interest in art is going to be able to get to Paris while the painting is on view.
They would make more money this way instead of just from gate admissions.
