LEGO Art 31213 Mona Lisa – a Renaissance masterpiece? [Review]

Ever since the launch of LEGO 18+ sets marketed primarily toward adult builders and collectors, the category has produced a wide variety of models from typewriters to guitars intending to attract more customers who might otherwise pass the LEGO store by at the mall. One theme within the overall line, LEGO Art, has introduced some very iconic replicas of famous paintings, such as LEGO Ideas 21333 Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh and LEGO 31208 The Great Wave of Kanagawa by Hokusai. But one classic work of art was noticeably missing from the line-up… until now. The recently announced 31213 Mona Lisa brings Leonardo da Vinci’s famous portrait of a demure woman with a mysterious smile to life. The framed Mona Lisa comes with 1,503 pieces and is available starting on October 1st for US $99.99 | CAN $129.99 | UK £89.99

Two new iconic LEGO sets announced, based on a pair of well-known European wonders [News]

LEGO has been inspired by the art in Paris, France with a duo of new LEGO Icons sets bound for release this year. From its home in the Louvre’s Salle des États, the Mona Lisa is by far the most well-known painting in the world, soon to be remade in brick and plate. LEGO Art 31213 Mona Lisa will be a little over 1:2 scale, coming in at 43 x 11.5 in (or 43 x 30 cm) and is comprised of 1,503 pieces. Moving over to the world of architecture, LEGO Architecture 21061 Notre-Dame de Paris is perhaps the best known cathedral in the world, its namesake standing tall since 1260. The LEGO version will still sit at an impressive 13 in tall (33 cm), with a removable roof and detailed interior. These popular Parisian LEGO productions will go on sale at the start of October and June, respectively. More details and pics of these new sets are below!
