Why do people go to the Louvre? They go to see the Mona Lisa. Why do they go to see the Mona Lisa? Because they already know what she looks like.” – William Noel The French emperor once had Mona Lisa hanging in his bedroom in the Tuileries Palace for about four years, beginning in 1800. It’s said his fascination with the painting inspired his affection for a pretty Italian woman named Teresa Guadagni, who was actually a descendant of Lisa Gherardini. 4.

The 1911 theft of the Mona Lisa and its subsequent return was reported worldwide, leading to a massive increase in public recognition of the painting. During the 20th century it was an object for mass reproduction, merchandising, lampooning and speculation, and was claimed to have been reproduced in "300 paintings and 2,000 advertisements". [141] The Mona Lisa was regarded as "just another Leonardo until early last century, when the scandal of the painting's theft from the Louvre and subsequent return kept a spotlight on it over several years."

Arguably the most famous painting in the world, this lady has secrets that even the best detective couldn’t unravel. This Italian masterpiece was painted by the legendary Leonardo da Vinci around the early 16th century, and she has become a timeless celebrity who never ages.The Mona Lisa has survived for more than 500 years, and an international commission convened in 1952 noted that "the picture is in a remarkable state of preservation." [75] It has never been fully restored, [115] so the current condition is partly due to a variety of conservation treatments the painting has undergone. A detailed analysis in 1933 by Madame de Gironde revealed that earlier restorers had "acted with a great deal of restraint." [75] Nevertheless, applications of varnish made to the painting had darkened even by the end of the 16th century, and an aggressive 1809 cleaning and revarnishing removed some of the uppermost portion of the paint layer, resulting in a washed-out appearance to the face of the figure. Despite the treatments, the Mona Lisa has been well cared for throughout its history, and although the panel's warping caused the curators "some worry", [116] the 2004–05 conservation team was optimistic about the future of the work.

Of Leonardo da Vinci's works, the Mona Lisa is the only portrait whose authenticity has never been seriously questioned, [55] and one of four works – the others being Saint Jerome in the Wilderness, Adoration of the Magi and The Last Supper – whose attribution has avoided controversy. [56] He had begun working on a portrait of Lisa del Giocondo, the model of the Mona Lisa, by October 1503. [25] [26] It is believed by some that the Mona Lisa was begun in 1503 or 1504 in Florence. [57] Although the Louvre states that it was "doubtless painted between 1503 and 1506", [8] art historian Martin Kemp says that there are some difficulties in confirming the dates with certainty. [22] Alessandro Vezzosi believes that the painting is characteristic of Leonardo's style in the final years of his life, post-1513. [58] Other academics argue that, given the historical documentation, Leonardo would have painted the work from 1513. [59] According to Vasari, "after he had lingered over it four years, [he] left it unfinished". [18] In 1516, Leonardo was invited by King Francis I to work at the Clos Lucé near the Château d'Amboise; it is believed that he took the Mona Lisa with him and continued to work on it after he moved to France. [32] Art historian Carmen C. Bambach has concluded that Leonardo probably continued refining the work until 1516 or 1517. [60] Leonardo's right hand was paralytic c. 1517, [61] which may indicate why he left the Mona Lisa unfinished.
