Blaker moved the painting to his studio in Isleworth, a west London suburb after which it is now unofficially named. Convinced that it was an earlier portrait of a younger Lisa del Giocondo, the subject of the Louvre's"Mona Lisa," Blaker's stepfather John Eyre published research declaring it to be the work of Leonardo, who was known to produce multiple versions of the same painting.
Art collector Henry F. Pulitzer, with a pre-publication copy of his 1966 book 'Where Is The Mona Lisa?'Pulitzer moved the work into storage in Switzerland in 1975, and, upon his death four years later, it was left to his partner Elizabeth Meyer. When Meyer herself died in 2008, the"Isleworth Mona Lisa" was acquired by the international consortium that currently owns it -- and the Mona Lisa Foundation was established that same year to research its origins.
"As owners of the painting, their is to let this painting be shown to the public, because they don't want to keep it for another 40 or 50 years in Swiss bank vaults," he said, adding:"When you own this kind of you have to be a custodian."It's not a matter of money. It's just a matter of patience, of something that has to be done. It has a value not just for private but for humanity.
"We note that this legal action has only been taken now, although the painting has been on public exhibition internationally over the past few years," Feldman said, while his organization's lawyer, Parducci, added that the timing and nature of Protti's claims were"very curious and contradictory."

I thought it was really a self portrait by da Vinci.
Leonardo Da Vinci should testify in court and clear this whole thing up.
