Leonardo da Vinci in Paris
Leonardo in Paris
The Louvre holds the largest concentration of Leonardo's paintings in the world — five works, including the Mona Lisa, the Virgin of the Rocks, St John the Baptist, and the Virgin and Child with St Anne. With fewer than twenty universally accepted Leonardo paintings in existence, this is an extraordinary concentration in one place.
The Mona Lisa's room is crowded and the painting is behind glass at a distance. It is worth spending time with the other Leonardos in the Grande Galerie before joining the Mona Lisa crowd: the Virgin of the Rocks and the St John the Baptist are less famous but no less strange, and you can stand close to them.
Planning your visit
Visit on a weekday morning and go to the Denon wing first. Spend time with the Virgin of the Rocks before joining the crowd in the Mona Lisa room.

The world's largest art museum, home to over 35,000 works from antiquity to the 19th century, housed in a former royal palace on the Seine. Allow at least half a day; the Denon Wing holds most of the painting masterpieces.
About the artist
Leonardo da Vinci
Italian · High Renaissance · 1452–1519
Leonardo da Vinci was the defining genius of the High Renaissance — painter, scientist, engineer, and anatomist in equal measure. Fewer than twenty paintings are universally accepted as his, making each original encounter exceptionally rare. He worked in Florence and Milan, and spent his final years in France at the invitation of King Francis I.

Planning your visit to Paris
Pre-book entry to the Louvre and Musée d'Orsay, especially in summer — queues without a ticket can exceed an hour. Many Paris museums offer free entry on the first Sunday of each month. A day transport pass (carnet) is better value than buying individual Métro tickets.
