Mona Lisa, an oil painting by Leonardo da Vinci during the Italian Renaissance. The painting is painted on a poplar wood panel with an area of only 77×53 centimeters, and the figures in the painting sit elegantly, their smiles are subtle, and the background landscape is deep and vast, which vividly plays the painter's strange smoke-like "air perspective" brushwork.
The Mona Lisa is a transliteration of the English "mona lisa" from the Biography of a Famous Artist in the Art Garden, written 31 years after da Vinci's death by the Renaissance Italian art theorist Giorgio Vasari.
In this painting, the most famous is undoubtedly the smile of the Mona Lisa, which for five hundred years has always given people different feelings, different viewers or at different times to see, the feeling seems to be different.
Sometimes I think she smiles comfortably and softly, sometimes she looks serious, sometimes it seems to be slightly sad, and sometimes it even shows ridicule and ridicule. The mysterious smile that looms is soul-destroying. That smile is too shallow, and no matter how close you are, you can't really see it; However, as long as you see the painting, no matter how far away, you can feel the presence of a smile.
As for why the Mona Lisa had such a smile, people combined with her identity gave the reason, lisa Jogundo, the young wife of the upstart At the time, Lisa Jogundo, the painting was painted for 4 years.
At that time, Mona Lisa's young son had just died, and she had been in mourning and sullen. This is only one of the more popular versions of the many versions, who the Mona Lisa really is, and it is still impossible to give a true and accurate conclusion, the Mona Lisa, which is a question that can never be explored, and even some people regard the exploration of the Mona Lisa as their lifelong subject.
Dr. Livingstone, a neurologist at Harvard University, said that the Mona Lisa's smile is hidden from time to time, which is related to the human visual system, and Livingstone said: "The smile flickers because the viewer changes the position of the eye."
Less accurate peripheral vision would fall on her mouth. Since peripheral vision does not pay attention to subtleties, the shadows of the cheekbone area are invisibly highlighted. As a result, the curvature of the smile appears even greater. And when the eye looks directly at the Mouth of the Mona Lisa, central vision does not see the shadow. Livingstone said, "If we look at her mouth, we will never be able to catch her smile."
For the Mona Lisa, there have been different discoveries for hundreds of years, and the most surprising thing is that the discovery after turning the Mona Lisa upside down will only give people a sense of fear, and even some people have painted this picture but found a tiny gorilla.
American amateur oil painter PicciRilo rotates the Mona Lisa 90 degrees clockwise, and there are three mysterious animals in the background of the Mona Lisa's head, namely lions, apes and buffaloes, from which he interprets that the italian Renaissance art giant Da Vinci's work is based on jealousy.
Silvano Winchetti, president of the Italian National Council for Cultural Heritage, looked into the eyes of the Mona Lisa in the painting with the help of a microscope and found tiny characters. The British "Guardian" quoted Winchetti as saying on the 12th: "It can't be seen with the naked eye." She had the word lv on her greenish-brown right eyeball, which was clearly the initial of Leonardo da Vinci's name. "The Mona Lisa is surprising more and more, but we can't get a glimpse of Leonardo da Vinci's thoughts when he created it, and perhaps this will always be an unsolved mystery."
