Leonardo da Vinci (Italian, 1452-1519). Mona Lisa (La Gioconda), ca. 1503-05. Oil on poplar wood. 77 x 53 cm (30 3/8 x 20 7/8 in.).
Leonardo didn't name this painting. Anything. Not La Gioconda, not La Gioconde, not La Joconde and not Mona Lisa. He was very fond of it and made sure it traveled with him until he died in France, but he never named either the painting or its sitter. (If there was, in fact, a sitter.)
Mona Lisa was something that Giorgio Vasari, Italian painter and author, came up with in 1550 when he identified the sitter (nearly half a century after the fact) as Lisa Gherardini, young wife of the Florentine merchant Francesco del Giocondo.
Mona Lisa Is Stolen (1911): On August 21, 1911, Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, one of the most famous paintings in the world, was stolen right off the wall of the Louvre. The crime was inconceivable and the police had no leads. The Mona Lisa turned up in Italy two years later.

loads of individuals provides you long drawn out motives why it is so significant and popular. yet in a nutshell that's because of the fact of each and every of the theories and secret at the back of the portray. some have self belief it became a bypass fabric cloth cabinet, others have self belief it became his lover on the time. And that reasonable smirk she had in that photograph became an particularly unusual undertaking to do in that element era. So human beings are captivated by way of it.

okay, studied art in college and my art history professor, who is biggie at Stanford now..pointed out that the background is different on either side of this painting...whether it was on purpose or not is anyone's guess..was in Paris looking at this wonderous painting and the people in the front weren't letting others move forward for a turn..so I turned around to my tall husband and loud enough to be heard by others, pointed this fact out...it was a gas to see everyone suddenly studying the painting intently..i really enjoyed messing with them all...she may also have been pregnant based upon new research of the painting stating that she may be wearing a light lacy over dress...common for expectant mothers of her era
