    Jean-Baptiste Launay, more popularly known as Jisbar, a leading French pop-street artist, has created a reinterpretation of Leonardo Da Vinci’s famed ‘Mona Lisa’ dedicating it to Italian motorcycle brand Ducati. The painting will be auctioned on Thursday, July 16, with the proceeds going to #RaceAgainstCOVID, a fundraising organised by Ducati for the S. Orsola Hospital in Bologna. Image Credit: Supplied

    Dubbed ‘Ducati Mona Lisa’, the artwork is part of a series where Jisbar reinterprets Da Vinci's masterpiece in different ways. In ‘Ducati Mona Lisa’ the female figure is surrounded by visual and graphic elements that recall the history of Ducati, its models in the range and some of its most famous riders. And she is holding a full-face helmet! Image Credit: Supplied
