	Mona Lisa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mona Lisa, or La Gioconda (La Joconde), is a 16th-century oil painting on poplar wood by Leonardo da Vinci, and is, perhaps, the most famous painting in Western art history or even the world.
		Her theory is that the Mona Lisa was the first official portrait of the new Duchess of Milan, which requires that it was painted in spring or summer 1489 (and not 1503).
		Mona Lisa is famous for her facial expression and the subtlety of the transitions of tone and color.

	[No title] (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Mona Lisa (also known as the Monna Lisa; Italian La Gioconda; French La Joconde), is a painting by Leonardo da Vinci showing a woman with an introspective expression, smiling very slightly.
		In general, it can be stated that the vividness and ambiguity of the facial expression is due to Leonardo's use of sfumato, blurring the most expressive portions of the face (the corners of the eyes and mouth) to give the picture greater mystery.
		However, greed got the better of him and the Mona Lisa was recovered when he attempted to sell it to a Florence art dealer; it was exhibited all over Italy and returned to the Louvre in 1913.

	Mona Lisa
		A year before the Mona Lisa was stolen, Freud published a short book about Leonardo in which he advanced the theory that the Mona Lisa's smile evoked "the bliss and rapture which had once played on his mother's lips as she fondled him".
		But as the romantic poets of the 19th century began to be obsessed with the femme fatale, the Mona Lisa was seized on as an ideal of womanhood, her smile and the eyes venerated.
		Mona Lisa's smile comes and goes, she says, because of how the human visual system is designed, not because the expression is ambiguous.

	Mona Lisa (La Gioconda) by LEONARDO da Vinci
		According to Vasari, this picture is a portrait of Mona or Monna (short for Madonna) Lisa, who was born in Florence in 1479 and in 1495 married the Marquese del Giocondo, a Florentine of some standing - hence the painting's other name, `La Gioconda'.
		This figure of a woman, dressed in the Florentine fashion of her day and seated in a visionary, mountainous landscape, is a remarkable instance of Leonardo's sfumato technique of soft, heavily shaded modeling.
		The Mona Lisa's enigmatic expression, which seems both alluring and aloof, has given the portrait universal fame.

	Mona Lisa
		Though it is very difficult, this is what da Vinci accomplished with Mona Lisa -- her facial muscles reflect a dynamic face in motion, not one of someone statically holding a half-smile.
		But the expression on Mona Lisa's face has an emotional aspect to it that the vase lacks: it is a direct reflection of her feeling towards us as the object of her gaze.
		Though we cannot figure out what Mona Lisa is feeling, and hence what we are feeling towards her, there is definitely one feeling that our encounter with her engenders: that this is no ordinary painting.

	Mona Lisa
		This enigmatic work, officially titled La Gioconda, is thought to be either a preparatory study for the Mona Lisa by Leonardo himself or a copy painted by one of his followers shortly after the creation of the original, which now resides in the Louvre Museum in Paris.
		Conservators determined that the painting was executed before 1510—the original Mona Lisa was created between 1503 and 1507—but they were unable to confirm or refute Leonardo’s hand in its creation.
		Unlike a forgery or counterfeit work, the Museum’s Mona Lisa, on the basis of technical analyses, differs from the original in size, composition of background landscape, and, most notably, the absence of the enigmatic smile–details which suggest an early study rather than a simple reproduction.
