Walter Pater, who died in 1894, gave the Mona Lisa (referring to it as La Gioconda) some paragraphs in his The Renaissance: Studies in Art and Poetry. (https://gutenberg.org/cache/epub/2398/pg2398.txt https://gutenberg.org/cache/epub/2398/pg2398.txt) I believe that W.B. Yeats used them, or an excerpt from them in an Oxford anthology of modern English verse (well after 1911, to be sure).
