LEONARDO da VINCI

Mona Lisa  


No.21

This is probably the most famous painting of all time. The artist, who was born in 1452, began painting the picture in 1503 or 1504 and completed it shortly before he died in 1519. The subject is thought to be Lisa Gherardini, the wife of Francesco del Giocondo. The painting was acquired by King Francis I of France and is now in the Louvre, Paris where 6 million people see it every year
