Essay :
1. In your opinion, what makes Mona Lisa’s painting so famous?
In my opinion, the Mona Lisa is famous for a variety of reasons. One of the reasons is for
the popularity of the painting is the artist himself. Leonardo Da Vinci is perhaps the most
recognized artist in the world. Leonardo not only is an artist, but he was also a scientist,
inventor, and a doctor. He is study of the human came from the study of actual human
cadavers. Because of his ability to study from the actual form of the human, he was able
to draw and paint it more accurately than any other artist at that him. While the Mona
Lisa may be revered as the greatest piece of artwork of all time, Leonardo was known
more for his ability to draw than to paint. Currently there are only a handful of paintings
of Da Vinci’s, mostly because of his largely experimental style of art, and his habit of
procrastination. Among his most famous sketches is the Vitruvian Man, which anybody
who has ever studied anatomy, human biology, or art knows very well.
The history of Leonardo da Vinci give us numerous masterpieces that we still study and
marvel at today. One such masterpiece, the 16th century oil painting of the Mona Lisa,
also referred to as ‘La Giaconda’, is considered by the art world to be one of his most
famous works. The history of the Mona Lisa has long garnered much attention and stirred
controversy with regard to the identity of the woman who sat for the painting. Da Vinci
started the piece in 1503 and worked on it for four years. Then, he set it aside. He moved to France in 1516 when the French King invited him, and resumed his work on the Mona Lisa. It took another three years to complete.
