At one point in the early 20th century, an Italian man stole her out of the Louvre to bring her back to Italy where he thought she belonged.

After Leonardo da Vinci's death the Mona Lisa was cut down by having part of the panel at both sides removed. Originally there were columns on both sides of the Mona Lisa, as we know from early copies. The edges of the bases can still be seen. The Mona Lisa painting first resided in Fontainebleau, and later resided in the Palace of Versailles. After the French Revolution, it was moved to the Louvre. Napoleon I had it moved to his bedroom in the Tuileries Palace; later the painting was returned to the Louvre. During the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 to 1871, it was moved from the Louvre to a hiding place elsewhere in France. The painting was not well-known until the mid-19th century, when artists of the emerging Symbolist movement began to appreciate it, and associated it with their ideas about feminine mystique. Critic Walter Pater, in his 1867 essay on Leonardo da Vinci, expressed this view by describing the figure in the Mona Lisa painting as a kind of mythic embodiment of eternal femininity, who is "older than the rocks among which she sits" and who "has been dead many times and learned the secrets of the grave".
