Recognizing his potential, his father sent him to study under a renowned sculptor, propelling his career forward. Leonardo’s masterpiece, the Mona Lisa, remains one of the most iconic paintings in history, housed in the Louvre Museum, Paris. Despite extensive research, the painting retains an aura of mystery, as Leonardo continually made alterations, believing it was never truly finished. Its allure draws millions of visitors to the Louvre each year.
