What Happens When You Belly Continues To Rumble

Mona Lisa


The history of painting is not clear and was the subject of much discussion. According to Vasari, the model is a young Florentine woman (Mona) Lisa, wife of Francesco del Giocondo, and thus became known as "La Gioconda." The work was probably done during the second stay in Florence and Leonardo liked it so much of his work that carried with him to France, where it was sold to Francis I. There is controversy about this theory for the origin of the frame, since Leonardo always kept records of the models used in the paintings and there is one for the Mona Lisa. Another theory is that the Mona Lisa would have been a self-portrait of Leonardo, a thesis supported by the digitization of two overlapping pictures and images, clearly showing that the facial features of the Mona Lisa to fit the Leonardo da Vinci. Some trivia: Mona Lisa has no eyebrows portrayed, as was customary among the women of the Renaissance, the corners of the mouth of Mona Lisa are undefined, so it says it has an "enigmatic smile", the hand position of Mona Lisa served as a model for painters for many years, at the bottom of the painting, Da Vinci used the technique of aerial perspective, new for the season.
