What Renaissance is
When and how "Mona Lisa" was painted
"Mona Lisa" is a work by Leonardo da Vinci, made in c. 1503–1519 — more than 523 years ago — using oil on panel, associated with Renaissance.
The original of "Mona Lisa" is on display today at the Museu do Louvre, in Paris (França), and the image on this page is a public-domain photographic reproduction of that same painting, not a photo of the venue.
Why "Mona Lisa" is considered significant
"Mona Lisa" regularly appears on lists of the world's most famous paintings for representing Renaissance of the 16th century well, and for having influenced generations of artists after Leonardo da Vinci.
This site covers only this one work by Leonardo da Vinci; the artist's own page has the full biographical context.
