The painting, created in the 16thcentury, is a magnet (磁铁) for millions of tourists who visit it at the Louvre in Paris every year. But now Italians (意大利人) want the masterpiece (名作) back.
According to ANSA, a national committee and the province of Florence have already collected 150,000 signatures (签名). They called for the return of the great painting in 2013 to “the Uffizi museum where the great painting was displayed early in the 20thcentury.”
The committee’s president said he asked the French minister of culture for the painting to be given back. He told ANSA that its return would be meaningful.
But British newspaperThe Independentreported that the Louvre Museum has paid no attention to the committee.
The painting came into France’s ownership (所有权) during the rule of King Francois. Someone bought it from one of Da Vinci’s pupils. Da Vinci had worked in France, where he died in 1519 at the age of 67.
