Insights Level 5 Tests
Im very interested in art, especially
paintings from the Renaissance
period. My favorite painting is
Leonardo da Vincis Mona Lisa. Its
probably the most famous painting in
the world. Its a portrait of a woman,
but her name and identity are
unknown. She has an unusual
expression on her face. I like the fact
that you cant tell if she is smiling or
not. I cant help wondering whats she
thinking and if she is sad or happy.
Im also interested in the history
behind the painting. Leonardo da
Vinci painted it in the early sixteenth
century. Then, in 1516, he took it to
France and sold it to King Francis I for
4,000 gold coins. It remained in the
possession of the French royal family
until after the French Revolution. In
the 1800s, the Louvre museum in
Paris obtained the painting, and it has
been there ever since. However, in
1911, somebody actually succeeded
in stealing the painting from the
museum. At first, no one noticed that
the painting was missing, until a
regular visitor named Louis Broud, a
painter, noticed that it wasnt there.
The museum staff thought that the
official museum photographer was
taking pictures of the painting in his
studio. After a few days, they realized
he didnt have it! The police
questioned many people, including
the artist Pablo Picasso, but they
couldnt find it.
More than two years later, the
painting appeared in Florence in Italy,
when an Italian, Vincenzo Perugia,
tried to sell it to the Uffizi gallery for
$100,000. The police arrested him,
and Perugia confessed that he stole
the painting because of patriotism. He
thought that such a famous painting
by a famous Italian painter belonged
in Italy, not France.

Today, the painting is seen by around

lovers everywhere, including me!
