Mona Lisa is a
portrait of a woman that is half-length painted by the Italian artist Leonardo
da Vinci and it has been applauded as the best recognized the most on paper and
the most famous work of art in the world. Mona Lisa was painted in order to be
a portrait of Lisa Gherardini, the wife of Francesco del Giocondo and it was
commissioned by her husband. Leonardo da Vinci commenced the painting Mona Lisa between 1503 and 1506 in
Florence, Italy although Leonardo might have continued working on it as late as
1517 perfecting it.
The
Mona Lisa
is an oil painting that contain cottonwood panel as the surface. Since Mona
lisa is painting of the Renaissance period it depicts biblical scenes, this was
the style and technique of the paintings of this period which make art notable
from other eras of artwork. The
dimension of Mona Lisa is 77cm by 53cm. traditionally, the painting has been
identified as Lisa gel Gioconda but lack of substantial evidence has fueled
alternative theories among them the Leonardo’s Mother Caterina and the
possibility that Leonardo used his own likeness. Another aspect under
speculation is the size of the painting whether it is original or not.
Leonardo
da Vinci through the painting of Mona Lisa and it being the best recognized
image , the most on paper and the most famous work of art in the world comes
out conspicuously and speaks a lot
He is able to motivate, inspire and influence so many upcoming artists.
For example Mona Lisa was able to inspire the children's book Katie and the
Mona Lisa by James Mayhew where he personalized as a stage musical.
Da
Vinci's paintings were very few in number, but his drawings were productive,
and it provided clear evidence of his status as a master of composition and
detail. Mona Lisa's smile is ideal in that it tracks one of the gentle deficiencies
of human beauty. From the image, the smile can be seen and it is awesome. These
beautiful imperfections are extraordinary, but often seen every day, the curve
of Jacquelyn Kennedy's neck, or the unidentified person detained in simple
deliberation or while accomplishing a basic task. In other words, the
attractiveness of the Mona Lisa is that the artist simply calmed his mind and
let himself paint what was before him and from his heart.
