Mona Lisa (1503) Paris, Louvre
The exact identity of the model for this painting is not known, but it is traditionally identified as the portrait of Monna Lisa del Giocondo that was mentioned by Vasari, and begun in Florence around the year 1503. Leonardo never consigned the work, which he kept as one of his most cherished posessions.
