oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago，” the museum said. visitors have noticed changes but repairing the worlds most famous painting is not easy. experts are not sure about the materials the italian artist used and their current chemical state.nearly 6 million people go to see the mona lisa every year, many attracted by the mystery of her smile. “it is very interesting that

picking up detail, but less suited to looking at shadows. da vinci painted the smile in shadows.” however, the actual history of the mona lisa is just as mysterious as the smile. da vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was eventually sold to frances king francis i in 1519.in 1911, the painting was stolen from the louvre by a former employee, who took it out of the museum, hidden under his coat. he said he planned to return it to italy. the painting was sent back to france two years later. during world war ii, french hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of german forces.36we can infer from the text that _.athe mona lisa is proved to be able to last another 500 yearsbmona lisas beauty is fading gradually with 500 years passing
