The Mona Lisa, painted by Leonardo da Vinci, has dimensions of 77 cm × 53 cm (30 in × 21 in). This makes it a relatively small painting compared to many other famous works of art. The painting is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it is displayed in a climate-controlled, bulletproof glass case to protect it from damage. The small size of the Mona Lisa allows viewers to appreciate the intricate details and the subtle techniques used by da Vinci, such as sfumato, which creates a soft transition between colors and tones.
