The Mona Lisa has sparked countless theories--from the well-established to the far-fetched.

But a set of 16th- and 17th-century copies, scattered in collections from Russia to Spain, complicate the mystery of the world's most famous portrait.

Join me to unravel what these fascinating copies have to teach us about Leonardo, his art, and the portrait of lady who has become an icon of art history.
