Domaine de Chantilly exhibits Leonardo da Vinci's 'Nude Mona Lisa'

For the 500th anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci’s the Domaine de Chantilly, this great artist’s genius is being celebrated with a new exhibition dedicated to one of the highlights of the Musée Condé’s collection, the little known and enigmatic Nude Mona Lisa. The Musée Condé at Chantilly owns a large cartoon (a full size drawing that has been pricked to transfer a composition onto a panel) showing a nude half-length woman in a pose that is largely the same as the world famous Mona Lisa at the Louvre: known as the Nude Mona Lisa, this masterpiece raises endless questions. Thanks to highly ambitious international loans, the exhibition which runs from 1 June to 6 October 2019 attempts to solve the mystery of this true icon.
