He has painted one of the famous paintings in world history, The Mona Lisa. He also painted ‘The Last Supper’ which sold for 23.3 Million at a Sotheby’s Auction. The painting is an oil painting.
In case you're wondering, The Mona Lisa is valued at around US$850 Million in 2019. You would find the Mona Lisa displayed (Permanently) at the Louvre in Paris. The Mona Lisa is an Oil Painting.
Believe it or not, the Mona Lisa actually never got finished. Leonardo Da Vinci started the Mona Lisa in 1503 but never got to finish it.
Would you go and see the Mona Lisa?

Kia ora Ella, my name is Naomi and I am a researcher at The University of Auckland, Woolf Fisher Research Centre. I was very interested in your blog post because I also admire art and the work of painters particularly. I did not know that the Mona Lisa was an unfinished piece, nor that it is valued in the hundreds of millions! That's extraordinary! I have not traveled to Paris yet, although I have been to Europe, but if I did, the Louvre would be a place I would definitely visit. How about you? Look forward to seeing some of your drawings or paintings on your blog site. Ngā mihi maioha!

ReplyDeleteHi Ella, I never knew that Mona Lisa was a piece of unfinished art, but still is one of the most famous paintings in history. Do you have any more favourite paintings that were made by Leonardo Da Vinci? Do you know what part of the painting Mona Lisa is unfinished? And lastly is Mona Lisa your favourite piece of art?
ReplyDeleteHello Ella, I love how interested you are in art! These paintings are amazing. I can not believe that the Mona Lisa is worth $850 million!
