The Many Incarnations of the Mona Lisa - From Dali to Banksy

Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa is arguably the world's most famous and renowned work of art and as such, it has been celebrated - as well as ridiculed - by just about everyone including world famous artists such as Salvador Dali, Andy Warhol, Rene Magritte, Fernando Botero, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Banksy and others.

A reader who signed in as "Anonymous" left the links for the three awesome Banksy images in a comment. Also, the clever and fun version of the Mona Lisa painted with peanut butter and jelly by Vik Muniz was a contribution from another (the same?) Anonymous. Thank you so much anonymous contributors!

Check out the various genial, fun and sometimes downright hilarious renditions of the world famous Gioconda.
