\nIn 1550, art historian Giorgio Vasari noted in his book on Renaissance artwork that, \"Leonardo undertook to execute, for Francesco del Giocondo, the portrait of Mona Lisa, his wife.\" But there was dispute about Mona Lisa's true identity...\nIn 1550, art historian Giorgio Vasari noted in his book on Renaissance artwork that, \"Leonardo undertook to execute, for Francesco del Giocondo, the portrait of Mona Lisa, his wife.\" But there was dispute about Mona Lisa's true identity until 2005, when a note was found in the margins of a book at Heidelberg University that confirmed the identity of the woman and the date of the portrait. Why did da Vinci paint a portrait of the wife of a bourgeoisie merchant? Learn about Lisa Gherardini and see how her face likely looked.

Mona Lisa part 2 - a series about the identity, creation, and legacy of Leonardo da Vinci's most famous painting.\n
