Who actually painted the Mona Lisa?
1 Answer
Leonardo da Vinci actually painted the Mona Lisa. Although works of fiction, including novels and films, have led some people to falsely believe that the work was secretly created by someone else, there is no historical evidence to support this. Interestingly, there is a very similar painting in the collection of the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain. Called La Gioconda, it was most likely painted by one of da Vinci's apprentices and completed while the master artist worked on the Mona Lisa. On 1stDibs, explore a large collection of fine art.
