[[Earth]]'s most famous [[wikipedia:painting|painting]], the '''Mona Lisa''', was painted (multiple times) by [[Leonardo da Vinci]].
{{dab page|Lisa (disambiguation)}}
The '''''Mona Lisa''''', also known as '''''La Gioconda''''', ([[TV]]: {{cs|City of Death (TV story)|City of Death}}; [[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Doomsday Chronometer (audio story)|The Doomsday Chronometer}}) was [[Earth]]'s most famous [[painting]]. It was painted (multiple times) by [[Leonardo da Vinci]].


==History==
== History ==
In [[1505]], posing as a [[Human]] known as Captain Tancredi, [[Scaroth]] of the [[Jagaroth]] commissioned da Vinci to paint six copies of the ''Mona Lisa''. ([[DW]]: ''[[City of Death]]'') Da Vinci had to borrow oil paint from [[Giuseppe di Cattivo]], his neighbour, in order to finish the paintings, but this paint was in fact part of a sentient meteorite that d'Cattivo had recovered. ([[SJA]]: ''[[Mona Lisa's Revenge]]'')  While [[Fourth Doctor|the Doctor]] did not destroy the six "forgeries" (if, in fact, they could be considered forgeries, since they were all painted by Da Vinci), he did ensure that future X-ray machines would be able to discover their provenance by writing "THIS IS A FAKE" on the blank boards each of the fakes would be painted on. ([[DW]]: ''[[City of Death]]'')
=== Creation ===
[[Leonardo da Vinci]] started painting the piece in [[1503]]. It was originally a commission. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Art Attack (comic story)|Art Attack}}) According to one account his model for the painting was [[Clara Oswald]]; the [[Twelfth Doctor]] remarked that while the resemblance was poor, da Vinci had captured her smirk. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Swords of Kali (comic story)|The Swords of Kali}}) According to another account, the model was a [[Mona Lisa's model|contemporary of da Vinci]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Mona Lisa's Revenge (TV story)|Mona Lisa's Revenge}})

[[File:Cityofdeathmolalisacanvass.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor writes "THIS IS A FAKE" on the boards [[Leonardo da Vinci]] would use to paint six copies. ([[TV]]: {{cs|City of Death (TV story)|City of Death}})]]
In [[1505]], da Vinci was still working on the piece. Later that year, [[Scaroth]] of the [[Jagaroth]], posing as a [[human]] known as [[Captain]] Tancredi, commissioned da Vinci to paint at least six copies of the ''Mona Lisa''. While the [[Fourth Doctor]] did not destroy the six "forgeries" (if they could indeed be considered forgeries, since they were all painted by da Vinci), he did ensure that future [[X-ray]] machines would be able to discover their provenance by writing "THIS IS A FAKE" on the blank boards each copy would be painted on, and leaving a note for da Vinci in mirrored writing apologising for the state of the canvases and telling him to just paint over the words. ([[TV]]: {{cs|City of Death (TV story)|City of Death}})


At some point, one of the six paintings came to hang in the [[Louvre]] gallery in [[Paris]], [[France]].
Da Vinci had to borrow oil paints from his neighbour, [[Giuseppe di Cattivo]], to finish the seven paintings, not knowing the paints were made from a sentient meteorite di Cattivo had recovered. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Mona Lisa's Revenge (TV story)|Mona Lisa's Revenge}})


In [[1979]], Scaroth, posing as Count Scarlioni, stole the one known copy and sold the rest so as to raise money to fund his [[time travel]] research. ([[DW]]: ''[[City of Death]]'')
=== Fate of the painting ===
Da Vinci carried the original painting around with him for many years, despite it being a commission. He eventually had to sell it to [[Francis I|King Francis]] in [[1516]], which "broke his heart" according to the [[Ninth Doctor]]. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Art Attack (comic story)|Art Attack}}) Before it was sold, [[Helen Sinclair]] saw it in his [[studio]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Doomsday Chronometer (audio story)|The Doomsday Chronometer}})


By [[2007]], one of the fakes ended up at [[Leamington Spa]] [[Leamington Spa Lifeboat Museum|Lifeboat Museum]], and was placed along with several [[alien artefact]]s and other oddities in a secure section of the museum. ([[WEB]]: ''[http://www.leamingtonspalifeboatmuseum.co.uk/ Leamington Spa Lifeboat Museum website]'')
In [[1770]], the "original" ''Mona Lisa'' was in the [[Palace of Versailles]], ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Masquerade (audio story)|Masquerade}}) and was put on display in the [[Louvre]] gallery in [[Paris]] in [[1797]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Time Lord Letters (novel)|The Time Lord Letters}}) The six "fakes" were sealed away in a secret [[cellar]] room below a Parisian house until [[1979]].


At least three of the other copies were held by [[UNIT]] in the [[Underbase]] in [[Sydney]], [[Australia]]. ([[DWM]]: ''[[The Age of Ice]]'')
In 1979 Scaroth, posing as a human named Count Scarlioni, stole the displayed copy from the Louvre, intending to sell all seven paintings to raise funds for his [[time travel]] research. Before he could do so, a [[fire]] seemingly destroyed all but one of the "fakes", and it was this ''Mona Lisa'' that was returned to the Louvre. Later, [[Duggan]] bought a postcard of the ''Mona Lisa'' from a gift shop at the top of the [[Eiffel Tower]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|City of Death (TV story)|City of Death}}) One other copy was later confirmed to have been recovered, ending up in storage at the [[Leamington Spa Lifeboat Museum]]. ([[GAME]]: {{cs|Security Bot (video game)|Security Bot}}) The [[Seventh Doctor]] had a copy of the ''Mona Lisa'' in his art gallery on board the TARDIS, and [[The Monk]] stole one for his collection during the [[2150s Dalek invasion of Earth|second Dalek invasion]] of Earth in the [[2190s]]; ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Lucie Miller (audio story)|Lucie Miller}}) it is unclear whether either of these were one of the two confirmed extant copies, or they were different versions that survived the fire. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Dust Breeding (audio story)|Dust Breeding}})


As late as [[December]] [[2009]], the "original" was still displayed in the [[Louvre]] in [[Paris]]. ([[DWAM]]: ''[[A Date to Remember]]'')
[[Jenny Nettles]] once reported that the ''Mona Lisa'' was a fake. [[Sarah Jane Smith]] scoffed at this. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Kaleidoscope (audio story)|Kaleidoscope}}) However, it was subsequently revealed that the painting was indeed a fake on [[27 August]] [[2100]], leaving the art world in turmoil. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Time Traveller's Diary (novel)|Time Traveller's Diary}})


By [[2010]], one copy of the Mona Lisa made its way to the [[International Gallery]] in [[London]]. Because d'Cattivo's work, [[The Abomination]], also painted with the sentient meteor, was nearby, Mona Lisa was able to reanimate in the form of Mia Bella and made her way out of the frame, replacing herself with [[Phyllis Trupp]]. She animated a [[Sontaran blaster]] from a painting by [[Clyde Langer]] and, along with her number one fan, [[Lionel Harding]], went about to find The Abomination. She put various policemen and [[Sarah Jane Smith]] into paintings, while she animated [[The Dark Rider]] to take care of Clyde, [[Luke Smith]] and [[Rani Chandra]]. By the time Mona Lisa found The Abomination, she realised that, in order to set him free, she needed d'Cattivo's [[Chinese Puzzle Box]], which Harding destroyed. Clyde was then forced to draw another Puzzle Box, which she animated. Just as The Abomination rose, Luke used her energy to animate Clyde's drawing of [[K-9 Mark IV|K-9]], who killed the Abomination, therefore returning Mona Lisa to her rightful place, inside her frame, where she would remain forever. ([[SJA]]: ''[[Mona Lisa's Revenge]]'')
A few years prior to [[2005]], the [[Ninth Doctor]] saw the ''Mona Lisa'' at the Louvre and noted that he preferred the original. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Have You Seen The Aliens Terms and Conditions (feature)|Have You Seen The Aliens Terms and Conditions}})

The Mona Lisa, also known as La Gioconda, (TV: City of Death [+]Loading...["City of Death (TV story)","City of Death"]; AUDIO: The Doomsday Chronometer [+]Loading...["The Doomsday Chronometer (audio story)","The Doomsday Chronometer"]) was Earth's most famous painting. It was painted (multiple times) by Leonardo da Vinci.

History[[edit] | [edit source]]

Leonardo da Vinci started painting the piece in 1503. It was originally a commission.

The Doctor writes "THIS IS A FAKE" on the boards Leonardo da Vinci would use to paint six copies. (TV: City of Death [+]Loading...["City of Death (TV story)","City of Death"])

In 1505, da Vinci was still working on the piece. Later that year, Scaroth of the Jagaroth, posing as a human known as Captain Tancredi, commissioned da Vinci to paint at least six copies of the Mona Lisa. While the Fourth Doctor did not destroy the six "forgeries" (if they could indeed be considered forgeries, since they were all painted by da Vinci), he did ensure that future X-ray machines would be able to discover their provenance by writing "THIS IS A FAKE" on the blank boards each copy would be painted on, and leaving a note for da Vinci in mirrored writing apologising for the state of the canvases and telling him to just paint over the words.
