Mona Lisa Leonardo da Vinci Louvre

Mona Lisa, or La Gioconda. (La Joconde), is a 16th century oil painting on poplar wood by Leonardo da Vinci, and is one of the most famous paintings in the world. Few works of art have been subject to as much scrutiny, study, mythologizing and parody. It is owned by the French government and hangs in the Musée du Louvre in Paris. The painting, a half-length portrait, depicts a woman whose gaze meets the viewer's with an expression often described as enigmatic.

Has anyone noticed where ever u stand and look at Mona Lisa it looks like she is watching you .

[tallladyjay]

They don't allow you to get close enough to see all the described detail. In fact, we had to use the zoom on our camera to see the painting, but II was happy to be at The Louvre and see it at all it made me cry. This description is done well.

If you watch some other videos. They do editing and stuff to make it look like him and other weird things. First of all they didn't have all that editing stuff 500 years ago. So how did he know that it would do that. He didn't. So all the other videos who edited it and said that's the real reason. Get the heck real and grow up. So childless.

@oMrzubier... I was thinking the same thing.

I think leonardo da vinci is mona lisa, he could of been a hermaphrodite, which was the true code probably imagining himself as a woman smiling nobody will ever know, but thats what I think he was that.

The only reason Mona Lisa became so famous out of the hundreds of thousands of Old masters paintings is beacuse of her smile. Leonardo poineered this technique of diffusion where colours and lines gradually merge without any line of demarcation. He used this technique to perfection in her smile where her smile is not bracketed and diffuse gradually creating an illusion of movement and reality and because it is done so subtly it does appear different from time to time and to different observers.
