Real-world information
The Mona Lisa is a portrait by Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci, depicting Italian novelwoman Lisa del Giocondo. The painting is generally believed to have been made from 1503 to 1506, although some historians believe da Vinci continued working on it until 1516 or 1517. It has been on display at the Louvre in Paris since 1797.
Initially considered one of da Vinci's minor works, the painting achieved worldwide attention after being stolen in 1911 by Italian nationalist and Louvre employee Vincenzo Peruggia, who accused France of stealing the painting and consequently sought to repatriate it to Italy (in actuality, da Vinci gifted the Mona Lisa to Francis I, the king of France, as thanks for hiring him as a court painter). Analysts in subsequent years additionally accused Peruggia of conspiring with Argentine con artist Eduardo de Valfierno and art forger Yves Chaudron to sell off multiple fake copies of the Mona Lisa as the original. Following Peruggia's arrest and the painting's return to the Louvre, the Mona Lisa saw heightened attention from art critics and laypeople alike, resulting in its modern reputation as the most well-known work of art in the world.
