Question: How long did it take Lenardo Davinci to pain Mona Lisa!?
I think he starded in 1505!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think about 4 years or more!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It may have taken him 4 years- but there is some discussion that he never finished it!

Mona (poor Mona) has no eyebrows and no fingernails!. If you look at close-ups, you can see that the fingernails are outlined, but never finished!.

The person who paid for the painting never got it- Leonardo carried it with him until the end of his life, when it became the property of the King of France, and it is still in France today!.

Oh- Mona used to have a necklace that Leonardo painted over- x-rays show that!.

And he wasn't obnoxious!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

This site agrees that it was about 4 years, but that he started it in 1503!.

He was pretty obnoxious!. It probably did not take him very long at all to become a pain!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
