Experts confirm da Vinci painted another Mona Lisa

Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci did paint an earlier and much younger version of his masterpiece Mona Lisa, experts have confirmed.

Art experts claim that Isleworth Mona Lisa, unearthed last year, which shows a significantly younger subject, may be several years older than its more famous counterpart. Mona Lisa, which has been on display in the Louvre in Paris for three centuries, has long been regarded as the only one painted by the Italian artist, the Daily Mail reported. However, according to a Swiss-based art foundation, recent tests have shown that the Isleworth Mona Lisa is almost certainly the genius da Vinci’s work.
