how does mona lisa represent the ideals of renaissance?

Answer 1

Face, looks, made by a man that can do anything and does it well.

Answer 2

I would add to Luncidna (whoanswered before me), that sfumato and perspective were discoveries of rennaisance. Sfumato is a way of painitng where contoures are blury, and it gives a special liveliness to the portrait and the foggy feeling in the landscape. The background landscape on MOna Lisa is typical use of perspective an d sfumato. beside this, portraits and landscapes were not very usual topic in Middle Ages , the period before renaissance, (as art was then dedicated more to religious topics).
Portrait and lanscape as background are the most typical examples of rennaisance. Further more, the triangle comopssition, usage (knowledge ) of anatomy, dealing with the inner life of the painted person are also very renaissance. Renaissace was trying to present not the reality but the mixture of reality and the ideaised bueaty. Mona Lisa fits in this too. And also, oil painitng and painting on canvase as we know today was invented in rennaisance. Mona lisa is an oil painitng on canwas.
A very very good source on this would be book: Story of Art by Gombrich. I am sure you can find it in any library. renaissance is beautifully explained there.
Hope this helps. :)

Answer 3

The Mona Lisa represented the art effects achieved in the Renaissance that blended science and art. There is aerial perspective, symmetry, a type of blending technique referred to as sfumato, the ideals of beauty at that time, and an intriguing subject that was not religious in nature.
