Mona Lisa was painted very realistically. The techniques and skill she was painted with are extraordinary. This was one of the earliest lifelike paintings. The shading is very subtle and complex. He was a very keen observer of life and nature. Also Leonardo da Vinci used atmospheric perspective. He observed this and wrote about it in his notes. This is the first example where atmospheric perspective is used. Notice that the mountains are bluish and hazy and the details are not as distinct farther away. Atmospheric perspective uses page placement, overlapping shapes, proportion, less detail and bluer color for distance. Before this, distance was shown by page placement by placing things just higher on the picture plane. Higher on the picture plane meant farther away. Artists did not use proportion or overlapping either to show perspective. This painting was not only a beautiful portrait but also acute scientific observation that looked very natural and real. No one had done this before.

bc there is so much controversy around this painting...some people think it is a self portrait of da vinci as a female...no eyebrows...there is a self portrait of him when overlapped with the mona lisa is very similiar in proportion and size...background is unusual for time period/usually just plain...no one knows who she is/usually painted portraits of the time period are of famous people....hope this helps

i think of it replaced into because of fact it replaced into continuously considered as a logo of the reinassance. As Leonardo replaced into the actual reinassance guy by potential of contibuting to the advancements in technological know-how and humanities he replaced into extra outstanding than different artists. additionally Mona Lisa is memzmerizing because of fact of her smile - there are in simple terms such dissimilar thoughts approximately her specific mystique.

I don't know if it is THE most well known but it isvery well known. Da Vinci was an all around genuis and renaissance man. A genuis is a person who creates something first...an idea.
