I want to watch it.

Angelina, the Louvre Museum, the Denon wing.

A great website! =)

Im putting together the Mona Lisa puzzle, which has 1000 pieces! Its very challenging because the painting consists of only four main colors and their variations. I wonder if the left and right sides of the painting are symmetrical relative to the center of Mona Lisas face?

I look like her!

What?! Are you serious?!

I put together a 1000-piece puzzle in a week.

They say that people go crazy if they look at this painting for a long time!

some kind of transvestite

a beautiful painting

I had a great time there!

A beautiful painting, its simply captivating!

Im in the process of recreating the Mona Lisa. Ive wanted to give up a few times, but its interesting... There are hundreds of completely black details there. By the way, regarding the Mona Lisas face, the left and right sides are not equal.

The painting is simply amazing! They say that Mona Lisas eyes follow everyone! I put it together from 1000 jigsaw pieces! Its so cool!!!

Mona Lisa is the most beautiful painting! I dont know why it might not appeal to some people!

The Mona Lisa (La Gioconda), a painting in the Louvre Museum, is undoubtedly a truly beautiful and priceless work of art, but the reasons for its incredible popularity should be explained.

It seems that the worldwide fame of this painting is not due to its artistic merits, but rather to the debates and mysteries surrounding it, as well as its particular effect on men.

At one time, Napoleon Bonaparte was so fond of it that he moved it from the Louvre to the Tuileries Palace and hung it in his bedroom.

Mona Lisa is a simplified version of the name Monna Lisa, which in turn is an abbreviation of the word madonna (my lady). Thus, the famous 16th-century historian Giorgio Vasari respectfully referred to Lisa Gherardini, depicted in the portrait, in his book Lives of Eminent Architects, Sculptors, and Painters. Leonardo apparently showed the cardinal several paintings he had brought with him from Italy, including a portrait of a Florentine woman painted from life. This is all the information that can be used to identify the Mona Lisa (La Gioconda) painting.

It presents a sufficiently wide range of possibilities for various alternative versions, amateur speculation, and questioning of the authorship of possible copies of the painting and other works by Leonardo da Vinci.

We can confidently say only that Mona Lisa was found in the bathroom of the Fontainebleau Palace, which King Henry IV intended to restore in the 1590s. For a long time, no one paid attention to the painting: neither the public nor art connoisseurs, until finally, after 70 years in the Parisian Louvre, it was seen by the famous writer and poet Théophile Gautier, who at that time was compiling a guidebook to the Louvre. This woman is older than the rocks next to which she stands; like a vampire, she has died many times and has learned the secrets of the afterlife, she plunged into the depths of the sea and kept memories of this. With Eastern merchants, she went for the most amazing fabrics; she was Leda, mother of Helen of Troy, and Saint Anne, mother of Mary, and all this happened to her, but it remained only as a sound of a lyre or flute and reflected in the exquisite oval of her face, in the outlines of her eyelids and the position of her hands.

When, on August 21, 1911, the Mona Lisa was stolen by an Italian guard and soon found in December 1913, a special place was allocated to the prima donna of the Renaissance era in the Louvre Museum. Shortly thereafter, in 1919, Dadaist Marcel Duchamp bought a cheap postcard with a reproduction of the painting, drew a mustache on it and signed below the letters L. H. O. O. Q, which in French are read almost as elle a chaud au cul, meaning something like she is a hot girl. Since then, the fame of Leonardo da Vincis painting has lived its own life, despite numerous protests from outraged art critics.

For example, Bernard Berenson once expressed this opinion:... (she) differs in a disagreeable way from all women I have ever known or dreamed of, a foreigner who is difficult to understand, cunning, wary, self-assured, imbued with a sense of hostile superiority, with a smile that expresses anticipation of pleasure.

Roberto Longhi stated that he preferred women from Renoirs paintings to this insignificant nervous woman. However, despite all this, more photographers gather around the portrait of Mona Lisa every day than around the most famous film divas at annual Oscar ceremonies. The attention to La Gioconda also increased significantly after she appeared as a minor character in Dan Browns sensational book The Da Vinci Code.

The painting is simply a masterpiece.
