    Mona Lisa
    Mona Lisa (also known as La Gioconda) is a 16th century portrait painted in oil on a poplar panel by Leonardo da Vinci during the Italian Renaissance. The work is owned by the French government and hangs in the Musée du Louvre in Paris, France with the title Portrait of Lisa Gherardini, wife of Francesco del Giocondo.

    I'm assuming you're asking why the French have it when da Vinci was Italian?

    It is because da Vinci spent his last years in France, and he completed the Mona Lisa in France. When he died, the nation took it.
