Experts at the Louvre museum in Paris on Thursday revealed that Leonardo da Vinci may have also painted a topless version — called Joconde Nue, or Monna Vanna — of the famed masterpiece.
A scientific study of the charcoal work found that it could be Da Vinci’s preparatory drawing for a naked version of La Gioconda.
The Monna Vanna — which has been held since 1862 at the Condé museum in Chantilly — had previously been attributed to the Florentine master’s studio.

Uh-oh. Hefner had a co-conspirator.

But did he put her head on a man or a woman’s body? Mona might have been feeling like a Monty that day.

There’s a theory floating around out there that young women’s fashion in those days exposed one breast, because that is the way young women are portrayed in so many paintings of the era. I think there would be mention of it in writings of the time if that were the case, however.

Never mind. This turns out to be problem of grammar.
It was a hot day in Vienna, and Da Vinci
painted the Mona Lisa, topless.

Da Vinci might have painted topless version of Mona Lisa He should be referred to as Leonardo da Vinci, or simply Leonardo. He didn't have a last name in the modern sense. Vinci is a place name.
