  5. As an Artist… Conservation of paintings & Artefacts A painting thought to be the earliest replica of Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa has been discovered at Madrid's Prado Museum. The restored painting (right) offers more detail than the original (left)

  6. Why is this important? • The original painting (in the Louvre in Paris) is obscured by several layers of old, cracked varnish. Cleaning and restoration is thought to be too risky because the painting is fragile. • There is still some restoration to complete on the new painting but, once it is finished, it will be exhibited at the Louvre in March, allowing visitors to compare the two works.
