I did not know the Mona Lisa story. Thank you!
A tiny point regarding the Mona Lisa:
It isn’t on a canvas, rather it is painted on a poplar panel.
(Also worth noting: There are early sketches of the finished painting --done by
other, later artists-- that indicate that the original painting was square-shaped.
The standard assumption is that the picture was trimmed down to fit a frame
by a latter owner.)
