Do you know who is she? Why she create? and why she has no eyebraws and eyelashes? These are some questions that we like to answer. This girl is so mysterious to us, until now. When we see the picture at first, the first thing that comes to our mind is why she doesn't have eyebrows? Is it unfinished? As I research about Mona Lisa, I knew more about her, she is a oil painting on poplar wood, the portrait was started by Da Vinci in 1503 and took about four years to complete. As he finished the painting, there are a lot of controversies that he face, a lot of debates that he encounter. There are two biggest mysteries about Mona Lisa, these are her identity and her smile. There are lot of theories about the identity of Mona Lisa. The Italians call her La Gioconda, The French call her La Joconde,provoking many thoughts and theories about the Mona Lisa.
Most experts now believe that she is Lisa del Giocondo, the third wife
of a wealthy Florentine silk merchant named Francesco del Giocondo.The title Mona Lisa simply means "Madam Lisa."
Still, the experts were confused about this kind of painting, there are a lot of theories that they discussed about her, they believe that she is the Duchess of Milan, Isabella of Aragon and they believe that this is a more recent thought that this is the feminine version of Da Vinci himself. Is she has no eyebraws? One of the scientist said that it was not logical that Mona Lisa does not have any eyebrows or eyelashes but he discovered one hair of the eyebrow. Ohh! I was surprise when i saw this line, I cannot believe that this is true she has a eyebrows. Ofcourse, we know and we grow up that we believe that Mona Lisa doesn't have eyebrows this is her tagline, when we saw a person that have no such eyebrows we call them as like Mona Lisa. But now, I know now that that she has EYEBROWS. I cannot believe, but it's true! :)
Another mysterious about this girl is her mysterious smile. The experts said that, the mystery behind the smile, art experts often refer to a painting technique called sfumato, which was developed by Da Vinci. In Italian, sfumato means "vanished" or "smoky," implying that the portrait is ambiguous and blurry, leaving its interpretation to the viewer's imagination. This technique uses a subtle blend of tones and colors to produce the illusion of form, depth and volume. When a person looks at the painting, the focuses on her eyes, leaving the peripheral area on her mouth. Peripheral vision is less accurate and does not pick up details, so the shadows in her cheekbones augment the curvature of her smile.When the viewer looks directly at the woman's mouth, however, it does not pick up the shadows, and the portrait no longer appears to be smiling. Therefore, the appearance and disappearance of her smile really is an attribute of viewers' vision. This is one of the reasons why the painting has remained an enigma to art enthusiasts and perhaps the most famous painting in the world.
