Condé Museum at Chantilly will exhibit the portrait together with lab exams throughout the summer
“Nude Mona Lisa,” a charcoal drawing held in the collection of the Condé Museum in Chantilly, France, since 1862, may be an “emblematic and forgotten artwork” by Leonardo da Vinci himself, the museum said Monday.
An exhibition of the drawing and several replicas of it, along with lab exams of its linkage to da Vinci, will take place from June 1 to Oct. 6, to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the artist’s death. “Designed after the Mona Lisa, this masterpiece was the physical symbol both of a play between pictorial genres and of a polysemy characteristic of Leonardo’s fertile mind,” the museum said in a news release.Among the lab analyses that show the charcoal drawing might be by da Vinci was that it was drawn from the top left toward the bottom right, Mathieu Deldicque, curator at the Condé Museum, told the Agence France-Presse, which first reported the news.
François Clouet was believed to draw inspiration from the drawing, “Nude Mona Lisa,” for his painting Lady in Her Bath, which is in the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Located about 30 miles north of Paris within the Château de Chantilly—home of one of France’s oldest and most distinguished noble families, Montmorency—Condé Museum has one of the most important collections of old master paintings in the country.
