The essence and definition of painting is, the imitation of visible objects, by means of form and colors: Wherefore the more, forcibly and faithfully painting imitates nature, the more directly and rapidly does it lead us to its end, which is to deceive the eye; and the surer proofs does it give us of its true idea.

Mona Lisa
Mona Lisa
Also known as La Giocondo is a portrait of the wife of Francesco del Giocondo. The painting was painted by Leonardo between 1503 and 1505. It was painted in oil on a poplar panel.
It was sold to Francois I. It was greatly admired and considered the prototype of the Renaissance portrait.
The painting is half length portrait and depicts a woman whose expression is often described as enigmatic. Mona Lisa has slight smile which enters into the gentle, delicate atmosphere pervading the whole painting. This because Leonardo uses the sfuma technique, a gradual dissolving of the forms themselves, continuous interaction between light and shade and an uncertain sense of the time of the day.
Mona Lisa dressed on the Florentine fashion of her day and seated in a visionary, mountainous landscape. Mona Lisa subject has been adapted in turn as an aesthetic, philosophical and advertising symbol, entering eventually into the irreverent parodies of the Dada and Surrealist artists.
