It seems that, after a few days I posted my article on Leonardo’s Monna Lisa, the Louvre has changed the content of the web page that describes the painting, removing their statement about it (that I cited in the article):
“It was eventually returned to Italy by Leonardo’s student and heir Salai. It is not known how the painting came to be in François I’s collection”.
Just a coincidence?
Anyway, you can see the former page on the archive’s web cache:
This is the web archive’s complete cache of the Gioconda’s web page:
These are the snapshots of the above web page (original and actual):
Original Louvre’s web page, with the statement about the unknown origin of Monna Lisa.
Updated Louvre’s web page (at the time of this article) without the statement about the unknown origin of Monna Lisa.
