The painting is owned by the French government, reported to have hung in Napolean's bedroom for a while, since 1804 it has been in the Louvre, Paris, France. Estimates place the current value around $500 million.
To the King of France.
To the king of France.
The sum was not disclosed.
As far as we know, all of them (about 30), except 'Mona Lisa', which he chose to keep.
He is believed to have made about 30 paintings. He kept one of them, so he had sold the others.
The Mona Lisa is the most famous painting in the world, painted by Leonardo da Vinci. You can't buy the Mona Lisa because it is on display in the Louvre Museum in Paris France and is considered priceless.
Vincenzo Peruggia's motive for stealing the Mona Lisa from the Louvre was to return the painting to Italy because he hoped the Italian government would give him a reward. Peruggia wanted to return the painting to its native land because he believed that all the Italian art in the Louvre had been stolen by Napoleon -- including the Mona Lisa. Peruggia selected the Mona Lisa because she was small and easy to carry. Unfortunately for Peruggia, the Mona Lisa had not been stolen by Napoleon at all. It came to France with Leonardo da Vinci when he went there to work at the court of King Francis I. King Francis either purchased the Mona Lisa from da Vinci or from one of his heirs.
A painting is worth the sum somebody is willing to pay for it. Leonardo's paintings are in museums and not for sale. So we will never know.
