Mona Lisa is a beautiful work of art and a famous
painting of Leonardo Da Vinci. It is a half-length portrait of a woman, which
has been acclaimed as "the best known, the most visited, the most written
about, the most sung about, the most parodied work of art in the world." Aspects of the painting that have been
subject to speculation are the original size of the painting, whether it is the
original, why it was painted, and various explanations for how the effect of an
enigmatic smile was achieved.
And yes, the smile of Mona Lisa seems to be
mysterious to the viewers. Scientists believed that her smile changes depending
on the viewer’s eye. In 2000, Margaret
Livingstone, a neuroscientist at Harvard Medical School with a side interest in
art history, showed that Mona Lisa's smile is more apparent in peripheral
vision Movie Camera than dead-centre vision.
Whatever the smile of Mona Lisa means, still,
Leonardo’ did a great job in the art industry for making such a masterpiece.
