The Mona Lisa painting became part of the Louvre’s treasure trove of art in 1797, but fell to Napoleon in 1800, who took it to his residence palace and hung it on the wall of his private bedroom.

Mona Lisa was here for 4 years. The Mona Lisa was finally erected in the Louvre Museum in the late 19th century, making it the world’s most famous painting since the French Revolution.

Of course, Da Vinci himself created the Mona Lisa over several years. He is said to have started painting about 1503 AD, and when he died in 1915, it was in his studio. He has probably worked on it intermittently over the years, adding several coats of thin oily glaze at different times. The place where the thinner glazes are seen in the work is from the late Leonardo period.
