Mona Lisa the famous painting


"Mona Lisa"
Hi! It’s been a month since I last posted an entry on my blog. It’s already our second semester in our first year college. Our blog entry for this week is about “Mona Lisa”.  
Do you know Mona Lisa? When I heard the word Mona Lisa the first thing that comes to my mind is the Song “Beautiful in my Eyes” by Kadison Joshua because in that song there is lyrics about Mona Lisa. This is some part of those lyrics so you could understand what I’m saying. ^_^

You're my Mona Lisa,
You're my rainbow skies,
And my only prayer is that you realize
You'll always be beautiful in my eyes.

When I imagine the famous painting of Leonardo da Vinci the thing that comes always to my mind is an ordinary girl sitting and smiling wearing a black dress.
According to the article that I have read, Mona Lisa (La Gioconda or La Joconde, or Portrait of Lisa Gherardini, wife of Francesco del Giocondo) is a half-length portrait of a woman by the Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci, 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."
The painting, thought to be a portrait of Lisa Gherardini, the wife of Francesco Del Giocondo, is in oil on a poplar panel, and is believed to have been painted between 1503 and 1506. It was acquired by King Francis I of France and is now the property of the French Republic, on permanent display at the Musée du Louvre in Paris.The ambiguity of the subject's expression, frequently described as enigmatic, the monumentality of the composition, the subtle modeling of forms and the atmospheric illusionism were novel qualities that have contributed to the continuing fascination and study of the work.
I know almost all the people in the world knew the famous painting done by Leonardo da Vinci which is Mona Lisa. Some says that the expression of Mona Lisa is changing but I don’t know if that is true. Just investigate the mystery of Mona Lisa and maybe someday you may know it. HAHAHA. That’s all. Thank you.
