"Mona Lisa"



"The Mona Lisa" or "Mona Lisa" when we hear these words the thing that will come to our mind is a woman or a portrait made by the famous Leonardo Da Vinci."Mona" is actually an Italian word means madam or my Lady,that's why the painting is called "The Mona Lisa" it was said the woman's name is Lisa and as for an Italian they do some respect to call a woman that's why I think Leonardo ended up with the name of the painting.

So let's think about this,who is the woman behind the painting?How did Leonardo Da Vinci came up with this work?Is the woman in the painting real?Or just made by Leonardo's imagination?There's  a lot of questions lined-up.I will answer those based on my research.Even before,people are having a debate about "The Mona Lisa", about the woman in the painting.According to Giorgio Vasari an
 Italian painter,writer,historian and architect,who is famous today for his biopgraphies of Renaissance artists.Leaonardo accepted or work for  Francesco del Giocondo to paint his wife.There are things written in some articles that Francesco asked Leonardo to paint his wife for the celebration of his wife giving birth to their second child and for the completion of their house.It was said also that Francesco came from a rich family, that's why he came up with this idea.It is also said that the woman in the painting used to follow her husband.The Mona Lisa sometimes referred as La Gioconda because of Francesco del Giocondo as his wife.La Gioconda means "the joyous one" or "the lady full of mirth".It took Leonardo Da Vinci a total of 7 years to work on "The Mona Lisa".Well this is the other part of the story.
The other one is,some articles says that woman in the painting has a relationship with Leonardo Da Vinci.Concluding that they seems like committed to each other.Others said that the woman in the painting is not real it was just made by Leonardo,because of his greatness in art he can actually do that,that's what they believed.

The last one that I am really shocked and amazed about is,some scientist who debated and tried to solve the mystery of the painting said that the woman is Leonardo Da Vinci.They said that Leonardo is presumed a homosexual.That lead him to do a portait of him as a woman.They also said that The painting "Nona Lisa" is a diguised self-portait.The scientists have to do is just find the Leonardo's skull and reconstruct his face to discover if the painting was really a disguised self-portrait.Here's a photo.



Well until now,I know there are still people debating about this famous work of Leonardo Da Vinci there's a lot of articles and stories we can rely on.Still it's hard what should we believe.
