Spain's Prado Museum said it has discovered that its copy of a "Mona Lisa" was almost certainly painted by one of Leonardo da Vinci's apprentices alongside the master himself as he did the original.
According to museum officials, the stunning find of what the Prado now says is probably the earliest known copy of La Gioconda will give art lovers and experts an idea of what the Mona Lisa looked like back in the 16th century.
Miguel Falomir, director of Italian Paintings, Museo Del Prado, said, "This painting can help us show the original painting from other points of view, and also help to document the practices in Leonardo's studio."
The copy has been part of the Prado collection for years and displayed occasionally but no one paid much attention to it because around the woman in the Mona Lisa was a stark black background, not the pretty landscape seen in the original.
The Prado's Director of Italian paintings, Miguel Falomir, said the museum's best guess is that the copy was done by a da Vinci apprentice named Francesco Melzi, because of the style observed in it.
Prado's directors say the Louvre supports the Spanish museum's new evaluation of the painting. The Prado plans to put it on display later this month before it travels to France for the da Vinci show.
