infante and begum

Description: Mona Lisa now sits regally in her new showcase, a temperature-controlled, completely airtight and meticulously locked enclosure. Mounted on a free-standing wall about two-thirds into the room, she hangs opposite a royal masterpiece, the monumental Marriage at Cana by Veronese (l528-l588): the LouvreˇŻs largest painting, measuring 6.77 by 9.94 metres. Some fifty works from the Golden Century of Venetian painting (16th century) line the side walls and the back of the free-standing wall: pieces by illustrious artists such as Titian, Tintoretto, Bassano, Veronese and Lorenzo Lotto.
