Mona Lisa (also known as La Gioconda or La Joconde) is a 16th century oil painting done by Leonardo Di Vinci during the Italian Renaissance. The work is owned by the Government of France and is on the wall in the Louvre in Paris, France. It is perhaps the most famous and iconic painting in the world.The painting is a half-length portrait and depicts a woman whose facial expression is often described as enigmatic. The ambiguity of the sitter's expression, the monumental pose of the half-figure composition, and the subtle modeling of forms and atmospheric illusion-ism were novel qualities that have contributed to the painting's continuing fascination.

The Mona Lisa painting is located in the Louvre museum in Paris, France. The most famous painting ever. (:

The intended audience for the painting was the husband and family of the woman portrayed. Leonardo was commissioned by her husband to paint the portrait. Began in 1503, he continued to work on it through 1506 and carried it with him until his death in 1519.

We do not have exact dates. It was done between 1503 and 1506.

It seems to have been exhibited a couple of times. Scrutinized by experts who unanimously denied the possibility of a Leonardo work. Most probably an 18th century work by an anonymous painter. So it lost interest and I suppose Mr Vernon still has it.

Leonardo Da Vinci began painting the Mona Lisa in 1503 or 1504 in Florence, Italy. After he had lingered over it for four years he left it unfinished. He is thought to have continued to work on Mona Lisa for three years after he moved to France and to have finished it shortly before he died in 1519.

No it was Leonardo Da Vince. Michelangelo did not draw the Mona Lisa. It was drawn by Leonardo Da Vinci. And it was not drawn but painted in oil.

Vencenzo Peruggia, a Louvre employee, stole the famous painting in 1911.

No. The copyright laws were not invented at that time. Which is why everyone prints the Mona Lisa on Birthday cards, postcards and sings songs about it. The song "Mona Lisa by Tony Bennett" has a copyright on it. Because Bennett wrote and performed it and made it famous. However, just because the underlying work is "old" and not copyrighted does not mean you can take anyone else's copy and use it! Each "new" copy of the Mona Lisa painting could have "creative" differences that merit separate protection. For example, you can't copyright the Grand Canyon, but everyone who takes a picture of it owns the copyright of that picture.

It varies, of course: subject, size, etc
