Description

The Mona Lisa, painted by Leonardo da Vinci in the early 1500s, is considered the most famous painting in the world. The painting depicts a young woman with an intriguing smile and is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris. Millions of people visit the Louvre each year, and it is estimated that 80% of them visit for the Mona Lisa itself. An exemplification of the Italian Renaissance, the painting became globally known after it was stolen twice, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. While extremely valuable, this painting is now the property of France and has been in the Louvre since 1797. This moveable heritage addresses Quality Education 4.7 and Climate Action 13.
