		Following years of preparation and planning, museum officials have finally moved the painting down the hall to the Salle des Etats, where Mona hung from 1966 to 2001.
		The move was made for several reasons, not the least of which is that the Salle des Etats is larger than the Grand Gallery and can more easily accommodate the 6 million-plus visitors who traipse through the museum annually to see the painting.

		The world can now see Mona Lisa's smile in a new light as she goes on display in a renovated, airy room in the Louvre, which has brought out the true colors of the 500-year-old painting, experts said on Tuesday.
		Clever design by architect Lorenzo Piqueras makes the painting appear bigger than it really is, while natural light aided by state-of-the-art invisible lighting brings the colors closer to what Da Vinci (1452-1519) probably intended.
		"I have the impression that this is closer to what I see when the painting is not behind glass," said Scaillierez, at a press viewing of the new Salle des Etats before it goes on general view on Wednesday.

		The architecture of the Renaissance is dominated by a group of architects who were engaged as much by theory as by building.
		The rediscovery of De architectura, the one surviving treatise by the ancient Roman architect Vitruvius, established a model for understanding principles of architecture in a way that was markedly different from the medieval past.
		Filippo Brunelleschi, Leon Battista Alberti, Donato Bramante, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Andrea Palladio are just a few of the most familiar architects whose buildings changed cityscapes and countryside throughout Italy in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, and continued to exert an influence on the architecture of Europe through the twentieth century.
