I was similarly confused at first. But it looks like the Louvre has two versions, the original by Davinci and this other copy by an unknown artist.

- pbhjpbhj 6y agoI knew that, but, I see where the error is now. The OP posts saying ~'why does _the_ Mona Lisa image say this' and then the responder doesn't explicitly correct them: the linked image is not _the_ one but one of the copies, a copy that's also in the Louvre collection. Aside, Wikipedia says it's been "on permanent display" in the Louvre since Louis XIV; not quite right, perhaps they meant part of the permanent collection. I'm interested that Wikipedia claims it had no special renown until pretty recently, yet there are several high quality copies. Is that consistent?
