Early copy of "Mona Lisa" discovered in Madrid →
In case you haven’t heard, the earliest copy ever found of Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa” was discovered by the Prado Museum in Madrid earlier this week. From the Financial Times:
Art authorities at both the Louvre and the Prado have accepted that the picture is not merely a copy but was painted by a key pupil in the same studio. Its composition, they say, developed alongside Da Vinci’s original painting.
Though the copy fails to replicate the original Lisa’s lively and eluding smile, it is still very beautiful and well worth a look. The Art Newspaper, which originally reported the find, has a slideshow here.
