 1500 Pieces

Gioconda, Prado Museum

 It's a copy painted by one of the scholars of the genius in the same year. It belongs to the Prado, Madrid since the mid 1660ies. No idea why the background was covered with black colour, but no one realized the value of this Mona Lisa which was on display in the Prado - no one even thought it might be a perfect copy painted in Da Vincis atelier. Then, in 2012, the painting was cleaned and the craftsmaster recognized that the background looks close to the Mona Lisa in France. The Mona Lisa of the Prado is now on display and shows all the wonderful details (embroideries, the landscape, details of the face) that are lost on the Louvre-Mona Lisa due to the ages.

Development process of: La Gioconda - 1500 pcs. - completed

 I always knew that I had to assemble "La Gioconda" one day. 

Then I decided to choose the twin of the Da Vinci - Mona Lisa 

which is on display at the Louvre, Paris, of course.

It's a copy painted by one of the scholars of the genius in the same year. It belongs to the Prado, Madrid since the mid 1660ies. No idea why the background was covered with black colour, but no one realized the value of this Mona Lisa which was on display in the Prado - no one even thought it might be a perfect copy painted in Da Vincis atelier. Then, in 2012, the painting was cleaned and the craftsmaster recognized that the background looks close to the Mona Lisa in France. The Mona Lisa of the Prado is now on display and shows all the wonderful details (embroideries, the landscape, details of the face) that are lost on the Louvre-Mona Lisa due to the ages.

So, here we go with a wonderful, bright-colour-reproduction of the Prado-"La Gioconda" 

1500 Pieces - started 25th April 2015

this stunning face:

the robe and hands:

The trial-and-error on the black parts of the robe was really challenging!
