2. THE JOCONDE OR MONA LISA We can see this painting at the museum of the Louvre, which has been in Paris since 1797.

3. The painting was painted between 1503 and 1506 by Leonardo Da Vinci during the Renaissance. It epitomizes a half- length portrait of a woman. Leonardo Da Vinci was born on April 15 th 1452, in Vinci near Florence, in Italy and died on May 2 nd 1519. Leonardo Da Vinci was an Italian painter and a genius in many scientific subjects. He is best known for two paintings: "Mona Lisa" and "The Last Supper.“ This work is the most seen, the most written about, the most sung about and the most parodied work of art in the world.

4. Francesco del Giocondo has ordered the portrait of his wife called Lisa Gherardini. It is 77 centimeters high and it is 53 centimeters long. The painter used oil on poplar wood. In the back ground we can see a landscape with mountains in the mist. Mona Lisa’s head shares the painting into two parts where the horizon isn’t at the same plane. Leonardo Da Vinci drew a fuzzy landscape because he wanted the woman to stand out. It could be an imaginaire landscape. Mona Lisa hasn’t any hair in her eyelashes and her eyebrows in this painting, as if she could reflect purity and wisdom. Her hands are clasped maybe to show that she’s shy. Mona Lisa’s face is really realistic and her look is really human, Leonardo Da Vinci maybe painted his idea woman. THE PAINTING

5. Apparently, Leonardo Da Vinci worked this painting with many technics… This painting reveals secrets century after century. We can find a golden spiral and a golden rectangle in her body. As we can see Mona Lisa’s head perfectly fits in a golden rectangle… Could it be the secret of her smile?
