Mona Lisa
By Leonardo da Vinci
Author Award for December 2024There is perhaps no need to introduce what is the most visited painting in the world, with an estimated 10 million viewers per year. The "Mona Lisa," which is called "La Gioconda" in da Vinci's native language, is said to have become so inordinately popular due to its theft from the Louvre in 1911 by an Italian nationalist who believed the painting should be kept in Italy. Police even questioned Spanish artist Pablo Picasso, though he had nothing to do with the heist.
If you were unaware of who the painting depicts, that would be Lisa del Giocondo, an Italian noblewoman and wife of a cloth and silk merchant. Some art historians believe she was either pregnant or had recently had a child when sitting for da Vinci.
