this version of the mona lisa was bought in 1914 by the artist and critic hugh blaker, who lived in isleworth, in west london. Unlike the louvre’s mona lisa, around 1503-19, the painting is done on canvas (the original is on panel), it has columns on the sides of the picture and the landscape is very simple. Blacker reported that the picture had come from a somerset aristocratic collection. In 1962, the painting was bought by the uk-based art collector henry pulitzer, who exhibited it very briefly in phoenix, arizona, in a commercial gallery. [1]. Object Type: painting. Genre: portrait.
