Was Pablo Picasso involved in the theft of the Mona Lisa?
In short: Explore the historical mystery surrounding the world's most famous painting and the era when Leonardo da Vinci worked on it for years.
The video examines the history of the Mona Lisa, a work Leonardo da Vinci began around 1503. Believed to be a portrait of Lisa Gherardini, the wife of silk merchant Francesco del Giocondo, the painting's origins remain subject to debate. Da Vinci may have worked on the piece until roughly 1517, though it is unclear if he ever officially delivered it, as he might have been distracted by more profitable commissions or perhaps even produced multiple versions.
