It is believed that the most famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci, "Mona Lisa", represents such a great cultural value that it does not even have a price. That is, it is the only truly priceless object in the world. What can I say! Even copy this painting, created in China, is worth more than tens of millions of dollars. After all, it was made from … precious stones!
La Gioconda is, without a doubt, the most famous painting in the world and one of the most copied. Moreover, copies of this work by Leonardo da Vinci are created not only by traditional artistic methods (paints, graphics, prints), but from many other, sometimes quite extraordinary ways. An example is the Mona Lisa, created from 3,500 cups of coffee or with a semi-automatic pistol that shoots nails. But it is unlikely that such paintings can be sold for a large sum.
And here is a copy of the Mona Lisa, created by Chinese craftsmen, if it is sold, but for a price clearly exceeding one hundred million dollars. Moreover, analysts believe that it will exceed 135 million - the amount given for the most expensive painting in the world at the moment - "Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I" by artist Gustav Klimt. In general, Vekselberg is resting here with the fake Faberge eggs he bought for millions of dollars.
After all, the described painting is a copy created from a huge number of multi-colored precious stones. And their total weight is more than 100 thousand carats. And they were collected by the customer of the picture and its creators over the past thirty years.
Surprisingly, despite the enormous potential cost of this unusual copy of the Mona Lisa, it is now on display in one of the shopping centers in the Chinese city of Shenyang. However, there is no point in stealing it, just as there is no point in stealing the Mona Lisa itself. Although the protection of this picture is, for sure, very serious.
