In this video:
Leonardo da Vinci started work on the Mona Lisa around 1503, thought to be a commissioned painting of Lisa Gherardini, the third wife of silk merchant Freancesco del Giocondo. As to why da Vinci never delivered it, it has been speculated that he received a much more lucrative commission shortly thereafter and thus abandoned the painting at the time. Another hypothesis is that he perhaps made two versions of the painting, keeping one and delivering the other. Whatever the case, da Vinci continued working on the Mona Lisa (“Mona” more or less meaning “Madam”) up to around 1517. While today it is generally considered the most famous painting in the world, it wasn’t until French art critics began holding it up as a model of Renaissance painting techniques in the mid-19th century that it started to gain traction as anything but one of many great works by da Vinci. In fact, in the 18th century, King Louis XV actually unceremoniously had the painting removed from its place of prominence at Versailles and placed out of the way in the keeper of the royal buildings’ office.

Being awake at 2:40 am local time has it's benefits. Like a new Highlight History video.
Ironically its 2:40 am right now, here in the US Midwest. 2 weeks after you posted this. Maybe 2:40 a.m. is the magic hour for this new channel.
Holy crap I landed on this video at 2:42 AM IST.
Local time where?
Brilliant video and brilliant channel! It sucks that's this channel doesn't get as much love as your main, it's video are just as good and some even better!
How many channels is this now? I'm falling behind on watching all this content.
Rob a prostitute? Come on dude, this isn’t GTA.....
I have a friend who is a descendant Lisa Gheradini . Her maiden name Is Gheradini. She's looks just like her . The same lovely face, olive skin ,long dark hair, ample but supple breast. When she laughs her big smile brightens the room. Sweet girl!
Ok. That wierd....
I know a girl that does mouth stuff for $25 and makes whoopie for $45. She has ample yet supple breast too. Unfortunately she gains weight everytime she gets arrested and meth has wrecked her smile.
I love all your channels, Simon! Seriously informative and awesome.
Love this new channel Simon! 🥰
Awesome video - I like the slight change in focus from people to an actual event.
Glad to see Simon on this page....I automatically subbed. You do a good job hosting these shows pal! :)
Apparently if you scan the Mona Lisa with ultraviolet light you can read "this is a fake" written on the back in felt tip.
There were 6 others with the same idiosyncrasy, if memory serves
Grilled Salmon?! Naughty punster. LOL
Have to say that Simon deserves credit for keeping it together so well. He just dropped the pun in to the sentence with out even a flicker before adding the spilled beans a couple of words later. It would have been so easy to make a meal out of the whole thing and given the whole thing away.😉 Come on man! You know that had to be done.
I can't believe there are four channels of nothing but Simon talking about things lol.
Only four? So you're new to the Whistler?
@Verty ???

@@splitfries69 Today I found out, TopTenz, Biographics, Geographics, Highlight History (and Simon Whistler, his selftitled vlog channel. He hasn't updated there in ages, though)

I had never heard of this story before. Great video! Thank you. 😉
Im already a fan of the host,subscribed and hit the bell as soon as he started talking.
As always, Simon doing a fine job with his story telling 👍🏻. I think a good one to cover on this channel is the Orson Wells 1938 radio broadcast of The War of the Worlds and the unexpected results of it.
He did cover it on this channel (link below), basically revealing that there WAS no mass panic - in fact there was no panic at all, just a few very local reactions that were blown up by the press, aided and abetted by Orson Welles. Hardly anyone heard the broadcast anyway, as Fibber McGee and Molly was on. There were repeated announcements throughout the broadcast that it was a dramatization only. No story here, but I'm still seeing it on channels like Fascinating Horror, which usually does a better job of research. BTW, NPR (National Public Radio) did an article thoroughly debunking the myth. ruclips.net/video/V4uL7gP94rI/видео.html
Very interesting and something I never knew about, thanks Simon!
Fascinating as usual!
All these years and I had no idea the Mona Lisa was painted on slabs of wood. Simon blows my mind yet again.
Now all Simon needs is a pipe (tobacco, not crack) to go with that chair.
Bubble, not tobacco.
@@Silkendrum lol
Wow Simon, when do you sleep? Love your channels. Saw this on Today I found out. Not disappointed to come to this channel
Thanks for this!
Could you imagine if Peruggia was killed during WW1, or in a random accident/illness. There's a good chance that the Mona Lisa would still be lost as he likely told few people that he had it. That is if he told anyone at all. The butterfly effect never ceases to amaze me.
hearing a british person say jerry makes me think somehow the germans were involved xD
Like the new look the chair is great
That chair!! Yeah yeah yeah, great channel, nice subject, exceptional colors...but really in love with you looking comfortable and James Lipton like in that chair!
When I went to see the Mona Lisa I was shocked how small the painting is! I had always assumed it was much larger than it turned out to be.
I think that the exact same thing has been basically the first thought of nearly every person who's ever been to see it.
How often its been reproduced, especially the repro's that are posters, along with the hype & fame have totally skewed everyones thinking on the paintings size.
Even after seeing people view it on a TV show & knowing the dimensions, I was caught out & couldn't quite believe the fact its basically a large postage stamp.😏👌📫
The enigmatic Mona Lisa, known as La Gioconda in italian and La Joconde in french. 💙
how many channels does Simon present???
Fascinating! Great story!
I had never heard this story. I had heard the Mona Lisa had once been stolen but had never heard the details. Very interesting and for some reason the story made me laugh. The whole thing was rather ludicrous especially about the size of dear Mona compared to the size of the supposed lone thief. I have no idea why he lied about his accomplishes. Thanks Simon and team.
Shared to my facebook! Do Gow-Gates the man who apprenticed as a dentist, pioneered the anesthetic technique, and was shunned by his countries dentists for not having ever graduated.
That photo in the newspaper clipping looks different are you sure someone didn't switch it ?
Thank you
Beer!!!! It's 451 in Dayton y and Im drinking beer Simon come to Ohio for the museum 😁
Nice! I live in the Cleveland area 😁
I'm in Richmond!!!! History geeks unite!?
The second story sounds much more like real life than the fantasy of the first.
I hit the bell icon to receive a ting in my whatever - my phone is switched off.
Hey, it's the password to Donovan Hock's vault!
Am I the only one that finds it a bit strange to refer to Leonardo Da Vinci as just Da Vinci?
Leonardo had no surname in the modern sense - da Vinci simply meaning "of Vinci".
His full birth name was Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci, meaning "Leonardo, (son) of ser Piero from Vinci.
Yeah!!! You finally learnt to pronounce DaVinci correctly :D
Got any goods on Duchamp?
When the police grilled salmon...
Stealing it was a good PR move and maybe an inside job.
You should do a video on Lewis Hutchinson
What a mess that was of them!
3:20
Franz Kafka. Hmm, that name seems familiar somehow. ;)
12:44 That was a very unobservant plumber. So Picasso didn't actually steal the Mona Lisa. He was only arrested for it.
Katka was a handsome man.
5:24 "absolutely god-tired"
HOILY SHIT SIMON HAS LEGS!!!
You should do a bio Pablo Picasso
WARNING :This comment contains extreme & carelessly used gratuitous pun abuse.
Well after the Gendarmes had "grilled Salmon and he'd spilled the beans" they as good as had the whole thing served up on a plate but somehow managed to let the whole thing go cold making a meal out of the whole thing. The Tea leaves didn't exactly cook up a fancy caper though, opting to go for the peeled back to the bone app-roach and basically poaching the prime choice premium port-rait to then make some copies and cream of enough dough that no one would Wine about their portion.
Yes, yes I know but really after Simon delivered such a smooth pun without even the slightest smirk I just couldn't resist cooking this up. 👏👏👏😢😞😒🔥🍳🐠🔥🍴👅😷😱🍜😫🙈🙉🙊
Fun fact - Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole,

16:10 - Bonus fact
Everyone knows that the real painting is hanging in the mayor’s office in Crown Point, Indiana.
Omg, Simon! Toy even butchered Da Vinci's name?!
Bonus bonus fact, THE Mona Lisa does not have eyebrows.
I guess she got tired of people trying to guess what color her pubes were.
I read somewhere that she had both eyebrows and eyelashes but have fade
I don't get the appeal of the Mona Lisa. I've seen it in the Louvre they have much nicer paintings than this. But at least now I know why it's so famous and why it's originally called la Joconde in French. Wonder why so many countries call it the Mona Lisa. Wish the video would explain that too
I'm not even Italian and I still cringe everytime he says GIovanni 😑
"Fransesco del GIancondo" is what got me.
He has P. P. on his smock
So Picasso didn't steal it?
"absolutely god-tired"
Sometimes, Simon, I suspect you're secretly only pretending to be an Englishman. LOL
It was all a political ruse, as most things are, either political or business. lol jk
So that's what the bell does. And it explains why people with smartphones are so annoying with the beeps and tunes going off every 30 seconds in the office. It's the reason why I took early retirement - I was gonna kill someone.
Bro, focus on one channel!
Picasso's works were childish vomits of color, now I learn he dealt with stolen art. What a scumbag.
