Do you know Mona Lisa !!


Mona Lisa (also known as La Gioconda or La Joconde) is a sixteenth-century portrait painted in

The work is currently owned by the Government of France and is on display at the Musée du Louvre in Paris under the title Portrait of Lisa Gherardini, wife of Francesco del Giocondo
The painting is a half-length portrait and depicts a seated woman (is almost unanimous that she's Lisa del Giocondo) whose facial expression is frequently described as enigmatic Others believe that the slight smile is an indication that the subject is hiding a secret.

The ambiguity of the subject's expression, the monumentality of the composition, and the subtle modeling of forms and atmospheric illusionism were novel qualities that have contributed to the continuing fascination and study of the work Many critics note that Leonardo painted the most famous portrait of all time.

I love this picture because of the smile. the smile on Mona Lisa reflicts that not everyone is smiling because he is happy. He might smiling to hide his problemes from people.
