No one has ever stopped people from trying to purchase the Mona Lisa. Over centuries several attempts have been made to acquire it from France’s royal family; however none of these purchases has ever been successful. In 19th century owners turned down an offer from Louis-Philippe himself for one million francs ($1,000,000) 1️⃣. Other potential purchasers included art collector Joseph Duveen and billionaire banker Edmond Safra who was willing to spend up to $100 million for it; however all such offers were turned down and remain within the Louvre collection today.
That isn’t to say that the Mona Lisa isn’t available to the public in some form or another. You can purchase several reproductions lithographs and prints of the painting which range in estimate from under $100 to over $1000. These pieces are exact copies of the original and are likely to get of good quality compared to mass-produced prints available elsewhere . They are not however the same as the original .
It is also possible to purchase pieces of art that are inspired by the Mona Lisa 🎨. Many artists have been inspired by da Vinci’s masterpiece creating their own versions and interpretations of the painting . Such pieces are available for purchase and can range from a few hundred to thousands of dollars. While these pieces are not the same as the original they can be a great representation of the artwork.
Finally if none of these options appeals to you there is another way to experience the Mona Lisa in all its glory, and that is to actually visit the Louvre in Paris and see the painting in person. Although it is likely to become crowded and you will not have the ability to purchase the painting the experience of standing in front of the original is an unforgettable one.
