"Monna Vanna," also known as the "Nude Mona Lisa," is a painting often attributed to Gian Giacomo Caprotti, better known as Salai, who was a pupil and assistant to the renowned Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci. The artwork, which dates back to the early 16th century, is a captivating example of High Renaissance portraiture and has been the subject of scholarly debate regarding its authorship and connection to Leonardo's iconic "Mona Lisa."

The painting depicts a semi-nude female subject, seated in a pose reminiscent of the "Mona Lisa," but with notable differences in attire and the level of undress. "Monna Vanna" is characterized by its sensuous and alluring qualities, which contrast with the more reserved and enigmatic nature of Leonardo's famous portrait. The subject's direct gaze and the detailed rendering of her hands and the rich textures of the fabric she interacts with are elements that echo the style of Leonardo, suggesting his influence on Salai's work.

While traditionally attributed to Salai, some scholars have proposed that the painting may have been a collaborative effort between the pupil and his master, or even a work by Leonardo himself. The painting's provenance and the exact nature of Salai's contribution to Leonardo's workshop further complicate its history. "Monna Vanna" is held in the collection of the Condé Museum, located in the Château de Chantilly, France.

The painting's allure extends beyond its aesthetic qualities, as it provides insight into the practices of Renaissance workshops, where pupils often learned by copying or emulating their master's works. "Monna Vanna" serves as a testament to the close relationship between Salai and Leonardo, and to the former's development as an artist under the tutelage of one of history's most celebrated painters.
