Best Answer

Because Leonardo da vinci spent the last years of his life in France. He was among the 'spoils of war' taken back by art-loving Francois I after his Italian campaigns. As he never considered a painting actually finished, he took a number of them with him, including La Joconde/La Gioconda/Mona Lisa, which he was still holding onto at the time of his death.
