The
Mona Lisa (La Gioconda or La Joconde, or Portrait of Lisa Gherardini, wife of
Francesco del Giocondo[1]) is a half-length portrait of a woman by the Italian
artist Leonardo da Vinci, which 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."[2]
The painting, thought to be a portrait
of Lisa Gherardini, the wife of Francesco del Giocondo, is in oil on a poplar
panel, and is believed to have been painted between 1503 and 1506.[1] It was
acquired by King Francis I of France and is now the property of the French
Republic, on permanent display at the Musée du Louvre in Paris.[1] The ambiguity
of the subject's expression, frequently described as enigmatic,[3] the
monumentality of the composition, the subtle modeling of forms and the
atmospheric illusionism were novel qualities that have contributed to the
continuing fascination and study of the work.
In the painting there is a woman
with a lovely face showing different emotions. The arts reflect the painter
itself. Everyone is asking who is the girl behind those smiles. This painting
is one of the artwork in the world.
