What was thought to be a copy has turned out to be a unique version by one of Da Vinci's students.
The version of Mona Lisa at the Prado in Madrid was long thought to simply be a regular copy of the famous painting, that was until it was discovered that it had actually been painted by one of the artist's at Leonardo Da Vinci's workshop from around the same time as Da Vinci had painted the original.
Deputy conservator, Gabriele Finaldi, said: "It's as if we were standing in the workshop itself, and at the next easel. You can see that the artist was working step by step with Leonardo. When Leonardo made a change, he made a change. "
