Reply to comment by waxera in TIL there is another copy of the Mona Lisa in existence. It was presumably painted by a student of Leonardo da Vinci by gomi-panda

Agreed. Even by quick comparison, the one in the Prado is better done, with better materials.

You can go see this one without fanfare. Every time I’ve seen it, it’s just there on the wall, no crowds, in fact I’m the only one appreciating it in that moment.

10/10, highly recommend.

It was actually surprising to see it at the Prado.

"Isn't that the Mona Lisa?"

Yeah, that was exactly my response the first time.

Round the corner and it’s just there on the wall with a bunch of other painting.

…..uh? What’s going on? Why is this hanging here and why is no one else around it?

I think it’s more recently moved a slightly more prominent place.
