"When Was the Mona Lisa Made?"

The Creation of the Mona Lisa

The Mona Lisa, one of the most famous paintings in the world, was created by the Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci. The exact date of when the Mona Lisa was made has been a subject of debate among art historians and scholars.

Historical Evidence

Answer: 1503

Explanation:

It is believed by some that the Mona Lisa was started in 1503 or 1504 in Florence, Italy. Although the Louvre claims that it was "doubtless painted between 1503 and 1506", art historian Martin Kemp begs to differ and says "that there are some difficulties in confirming the dates with certainty".
