It had been believed to have been painted between 1503 and 1506; however, Leonardo may have continued working on it as late as 1517.

It was acquired by King Francis I of France and is now the property of the French Republic itself, on permanent display at the Louvre Museum in Paris since 1797. The "Mona Lisa" is one of the most valuable paintings in the world. It holds the Guinness World Record for the highest known insurance valuation in history at US$100 million in 1962 (equivalent to in ).
