The Mona Lisa painting(La Gioconda or La Joconde) waspainted between 1503 and 1506.It is presently housed in the Louvre Museum, Paris.The model for the painting,Lisa Gherardini, was the wife of Francesco del Giocondo. She died around 1550.Some speculate that the model was Leonardo's mother Caterinaor, or that Leonardo used his own likeness. In these cases the model would have died earlier in the 15th century.
The painting is owned by the French government, reported to have hung in Napolean's bedroom for a while, since 1804 it has been in the Louvre, Paris, France. Estimates place the current value around $500 million.
There are two versions: one of them at the Louvre. The other at the National Gallery in London. The Louvre painting was created in 1490 and the other one was completed around 1506. It was painted in Milan.
Artist, inventor, and original Renaissance man, Leonardo da Vinci, began painting his portrait of an Italian nobleman's wife in 1503 and completed it some years later, probably around 1507. The painting was originally a commissioned work, but da Vinci didn't sell it to the man who requested it (possibly because he hadn't finished it yet!). Instead, he kept it and still had it in his possession when he arrived in France at the court of King Fran�ois I, around 1516. The French monarch eventually purchased "Mona Lisa" from da Vinci.The painting became part of the French royal art collection. For several centuries, "Mona Lisa" was kept at palaces around France, including Amboise, Fontainbleau, Versailles, and the Tuileries. When the French Revolution struck in the late 18th century, the king was beheaded, and most of his palaces and possessions became property of the newly formed state. In 1793, the French government created a public art museum and used the old Louvre palace as its home. The "Mona Lisa" was displayed in this new museum.This famous painting has remained in the Louvre as property of the French government ever since. But in 1911, it was stolen right off the wall by an Italian who wanted to return it to Italy, the painting's country of origin. Two years later, the "Mona Lisa" was found and returned to the Louvre. It has made only two journeys since then -- to the United States in 1963 and to Japan in 1974, both for hugely popular displays.

Rigel has an apparent magnitude of around 0.12, making it one of the brightest stars in the sky. Its absolute magnitude, which measures intrinsic brightness, is around -7.0, indicating its high luminosity.
A Bogey Louvre, or Bogie Louvre, has nothing to do with the Louvre in Paris. A bogie refers to a class of train, wagon, or trolley with a chassis contaning wheels. The Louvre, as refered to in "Whistle up the chimney" (Storybook) is the wooden lining on the sides of the carriage, in the style of French louvres, which would allow air to circulate through the carriage. The bogie Louvre refered to in the book was also most likely a JLX 33820bogie Louvre van built by Tulloch Ltd. in 1969 and used to carry general freight around the NSW rail system and inter-state.
