“Art is never finished, only abandoned.”
-Leonardo da Vinci
Mona Lisa
Mona Lisa is a painting by Leonardo da Vinci, which he probably made between 1503 and 1506; however, Leonardo may have continued working on it as late as 1517. It is painted in oil on a white Lombardy poplar panel. It was acquired by King Francis I of France and is now the property of the French Republic. It has been on permanent display at the Louvre in Paris since 1797.
His name was not really “Leonardo da Vinci”
Leonardo’s full name at birth was Lionardo di ser Piero da Vinci, which means “Leonardo, (son) of ser Piero from Vinci.” To his contemporaries he was known just as Leonardo or “Il Florentine” – since he lived near Florence.
