The most attracting thing about MonaLisa’s painting is its cost value which is now higher than the budget of a great country, but what is the secret of this picture and how was it created?

We will discover more about this painting created by the Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci.

The portrait of a woman, MonaLisa, changed to a great art and made millions of people fall in love with it from all around the world, even though they do not know that much about it. However, what attracts the whole world is the glance of her catchy smile as if she is smiling at you and if you look at her eyes from all sides, it seems like she is always looking at you and that is what made millions adore the face of the MonaLisa portrait which has also been known by the alternative name, LaGioconda.

MonaLisa is a portrait of one of his good friend’s wife who had five children.

Pallanti, an Italian teacher who has spent 25 years researching, had discovered the first clear evidence.

Based on the discovery that da Vinci’s own facial features can be closely aligned with those of the MonaLisa, it means that the portrait is a mixture of man and woman.  That is so obvious if we put his picture next to the painting.

Some critics said that the picture of MonaLisa holds in Leonardo da Vinci himself. Leonardo da Vinci’s painting that took him four years of work has two names, MonaLisa and the Gioconda. He painted a face of a woman and named it Gioconda which means in Italian burned candle; except that name was changed by the director of the museum when the painting got to the Louvre Museum in Paris to another Italian name MonaLisa which means “mysterious smile”.

It was acquired by the King of France, Francis I, and it is now the property of the French Republic on permanent display at the Louvre Museum in Paris.

Biography of the Mona Lisa

Leonardo da Vinci began painting in 1503 and finished after four years. It is said that da Vinci hired a clown to make MonaLisa maintain that smile throughout the period of his painting.

In 1516, King of France Francis I bought the painting and put it in the Palace of ‘Château Fontainebleau’ then moved to Versailles. After the French Revolution, Napoleon I placed the picture in his bedroom.

Stolen Painting
In 1911, a French young man stole the painting of MonaLisa and sold it to an Italian artist, Alfredo Jerry, but the Italian authorities returned the painting to France. It is also said that the painting is of a woman who has five kids and two of them became Nuns.

In 1550, some historians discovered that Lisa Gherardini was the wife of Francesco del Giocondo. It was also strange that the MonaLisa was neither signed nor dated and did not carry any information like the rest of the paintings, prompting a lot of scientists and artists to develop dozens of theories on the origin of the painting and the subject matter.

Some have suggested that the painting could be of a famous woman in the Italian society at that time such as Isabella d’Este. Others suggested that it is the image of a ‘night girl’ or da Vinci’s mother while another theory indicated that the painting might be a caricature of da Vinci.  Leonardo da Vinci made it possible to merge female features with his to create the MonaLisa.
