The Mona Lisa, by daVinci, is 2’6” by 1’9” (72.6cms by 53.3cms)
X-ray technology has shown there are 3 different versions of the Mona Lisa under the visible one.
Leonardo DaVinci began painting the Mona Lisa in 1503. He was still working on the painting when he emigrated to France in 1516 and is believed to have finished it three years later, just before he died. The painting has remained in France ever since and is owned by the state. It once hung in Napoleon's bedroom.
