Read more about the Prado Mona Lisa (here)
The fact that paintings age and can become almost indistinguishable is so interesting to me! Just look at the copy of Mona Lisa, most likely painted by a student of Leonardo da Vinci’s or an apprentice working closely and copying it as best they could. I can only imagine all the beautiful subtleties of Leonardo's paintings that we won't be able to look upon, but this copy gives us a little insight! I wonder if they will ever decide to clean/restore the original.
