The Mona Lisa is a half-length portrait by Italian artist Leonardo da


Vinci, a popular and prominent figure of the High Renaissance. His
most notable works include : Virgin of the Rocks (1483-1499) and the
Mona Lisa (1503-1506) the most famous painting in the world. It was
painted between 1503-1506 in oil on a white Lombardy popular panel.
It has been on permanent display at the Louvre in Paris since
1797
The Mona Lisa is one of the most valuable paintings in the
world.
It shows a woman sitting upright on an armchair with her arms
folded. The woman appears alive to an usual extent which
Leonardo achieved by his method of not drawing outlines : a
soft blending of the colours and shades creates an ambiguous
secret, especially the woman's eyes and smile. The enigmatic
woman is portrayed seated in what appears to be an open
loggio with dark pillar bases on either side. Leonardo has
chosen to place the horizon Line not at the neck as he did with
Ginerra de Benci, but on a level with the eyes thus linking the
figure with the landscape and emphasizing the mysterious
nature of the painting
