The world famous paintings, how much do you know?

Mona Lisa is a famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo da Vinci's full name is Leonardo da Vinci (1452- 15 19), and he is one of the three outstanding Italian Renaissance figures who keep pace with Raphael and Michelangelo, and also the most perfect representative of the whole European Renaissance. This painting is about the wife of a fur dealer in Florence. She was only 24 years old when the painter painted her. This woman has just lost her beloved daughter and is often sad and depressed.

When the painter painted her, he tried every means to make her smile: asking musicians to play music, sing songs or tell jokes for her, so that a cheerful atmosphere would help her show her smile. Although the Mona Lisa in the painting shows a faint smile, you can see the inner joy from her brow, and the smile seems to have just passed her face. Slightly tilted corners of the mouth and stretched smiling muscles can make people feel the mood of this woman at the moment of painting. But her serene expression shows that her smile is calm and will not cause emotional fluctuations, which is a manifestation of the reserved beauty of ancient women.

The artistic value of Mona Lisa can't be considered only from the vivid portrait. More importantly, Leonardo da Vinci reflected his advanced artistic thought in this painting, that is, his attitude of observing nature with scientific spirit. Leonardo da Vinci advocated nature in art, but in theological thought, man was regarded as the embodiment of evil. Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa completely violates the religious world view. This is an ode to nature. His portrait affirmed the meaning of life and its beauty. Because Mona Lisa's smile is charming, many art historians call it "mysterious smile".
