Mona Lisa by Leonardo is a half-length portrait of a woman by the Italian artist da Vinci. Portrait of Mona Lisa has been acclaimed as
"the best known, the most visited, the most written about, the most sung about, the most parodied work of art in the world." Leonardo da Vinci began painting the Mona Lisa in Florence in 1503 or 1504, and said that have regretted "never having completed a single work". This woman portrait permanent display at the Musée du Louvre in Paris. Visitors generally spend about 15 seconds viewing Mona Lisa Leonardo da Vinci that was the "most famous painting" in the world. In 1852 its market value was 90,000 francs. Between 1851 and 1880, artists who visited the Louvre copied smile of Mona Lisa many times. Before the 1962–1963 tour, the painting was assessed, for insurance purposes, as valued at $100 million; the insurance was not bought. Instead more money was spent on security. Analysis of Mona Lisa Vinci Painting
-- Resource: Wikipedia Mona Lisa sits markedly upright with her arms folded, which is also a sign of her reserved posture. We see the detail of her hands, her right hand resting on her left. Da Vinci chose this gesture rather than a wedding ring to depict Lisa Mona as a virtuous woman and faithful wife. Only her gaze is fixed on the observer and seems to welcome Leonardo to this silent communication. Since the brightly lit face is practically framed with various much darker elements (hair, veil, shadows), the observer's attraction to it is brought to even greater extent. The woman appears alive to an unusual measure, which Leonardo achieved by his new method not to draw the outlines. |

In 2007, French engineer Pascal Cotte announced that his ultra high resolution scans
of the Mona Lisa Vinci provide evidence that she was originally painted with eyelashes and with better visible eyebrows, but that these had
gradually disappeared over time, perhaps as a result of overcleaning. There has been much speculation regarding the model and landscape of Mona Lisa by da Vinci. For example, that Leonardo probably painted his model faithfully since her beauty is not seen as being among the best, "even when measured by late quattrocento (15th century) or even twenty-first century standards." Some art historians in Eastern art also argue that the landscape in the background of Mona Lisa by Leonardo was influenced by Chinese paintings; however, this thesis has been contested for lack of clear evidence. |

The Mona Lisa Smile
Owing to the expressive synthesis that Leonardo achieved between sitter and landscape it is arguable whether Mona Lisa painting should be considered as a
traditional portrait, for it represents an ideal rather than a real woman. The sense of overall harmony achieved in the portrait—especially apparent in
the sitter's faint smile of Mona Lisa—reflects the idea of a link connecting humanity and nature. |

Questions about Mona LisaQuestion: What does it mean to have a "Mona Lisa Smile"? Answer: It's enigmatic. Question: Why is the Mona Lisa so famous? Answer: One of Leonardo's own favorites was used in the Monalisa, it is sfumato that is the epitome of the technique and its exploitation. Also, unlike earlier portraits the painting does not serve solely as an icon of status but instead of an individual. Her gaze is directed at the viewer, Mona Lisa is engaging the viewer, while Renaissance etiquette at the time dictated that a woman should not look directly into a mans eyes. There was a lot of interesting things going on with art at the time he painted it and some think it is less interesting and over hyped. Vinci Mona Lisa is over 500 years old and yet people are still raving about it. There is still debate over whether this is a real woman or Leonardo in drag. Question: Why doesn't Mona Lisa have eye browns? Answer: The painted Mona Lisa has no clearly visible eyebrows or eyelashes. Some researchers claim that it was common at this time for genteel women to pluck these hairs, as they were considered unsightly. But using the 240-megapixel scans, Mr Cotte said, "If you look closely at Mona Lisa's eye you can clearly see that the cracks around the eye have slightly disappeared, and that may be explained that one day a curator or restorer cleaned the eye, and cleaning the eye removed, probably removed the eyelashes and eyebrow." Question: Do you think the reason why Mona Lisa is smiling is that she was just passing gas? Answer: Maybe this is the most funny question about the Monalisa smile rather than she just had an orgasm. Somebody guessed that La giaconda had a meal of pasta before she sat for Leonardo, it is a natural body function. If it's true, da Vinci Mona Lisa joked us for over 500 years. However, fortunately, we don't believe because that the smile of Mona Lisa looks not prankish. Question: If the mona lisa could speak for just a few seconds, what would it say first? Answer: I am so sick of people looking at me, please put me in a room to be alone!! Question: Was the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci ever stolen? Answer: It was stolen on 21 August 1911. The Mona Lisa painting was believed to be lost forever, and it was two years before the real thief was discovered. Louvre employee Vincenzo Peruggia had stolen it by entering the building during regular hours, hiding in a broom closet and walking out with it hidden under his coat after the museum had closed. Peruggia was an Italian patriot who believed the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci should be returned to Italy for display in an Italian museum. Peruggia was hailed for his patriotism in Italy and served six months in jail for the crime. Question: Is painting of Mona Lisa a Leonardo Da Vinci self portrait?
Answer: Leonardo was thought as a cross dresser and Mona Lisa Gioconda is her self-portrait.
But in fact, Lisa Gherardini was just the subject of the painting of Mona Lisa by da Vinci. People have just recently discovered the bones of the model
buried inside an Italian monastery.
