Painting Description
The ''Mona Lisa'' is a half-length portrait painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci. Considered an archetypal masterpiece of the Italian Renaissance, it has been described as "the best known, the most visited, the most written about, the most sung about, the most parodied work of art in the world." The painting's novel qualities include the subject's enigmatic expression, the monumentality of the composition, the subtle modelling of forms, and the atmospheric illusionism.
The work is presumed to have been painted between 1503 and 1506; however, Leonardo may have continued working on it as late as 1517. It was acquired by King Francis I of France and is now the property of the French Republic, on permanent display at the Louvre Museum in Paris since 1797. The ''Mona Lisa'' is one of the most valuable paintings in the world. It holds the Guinness World Record for the highest known insurance valuation in history at $100 million in 1962, which is worth nearly $870 million in 2021 dollars.
The subject of the portrait is Lisa Gherardini, the wife of Francesco del Giocondo, and is painted in oil on a white Lombardy poplar panel. It has been the subject of a wide range of scholarly theories, particularly concerning the subject's identity, Leonardo's intentions in creating the work, and the methods he used. The painting's distinctive features, such as the subject's ambiguous expression, which seems both alluring and aloof, have been widely studied by artists and scientists alike. This includes the subtle gradation of tones and the shadowy quality of the corners of the mouth and eyes, a technique known as sfumato.
The ''Mona Lisa'' has had a significant impact on the art world. Its fame escalated in the 20th century when the painting was stolen in 1911 by an Italian handyman, Vincenzo Peruggia, an event that contributed to its status as a universal symbol of art. The painting's iconic status has been attributed to its depiction of the human condition in a nuanced and deeply psychological way, as well as its representation of Renaissance ideals of the period. Leonardo's ''Mona Lisa'' has become an enduring symbol of artistic genius and has influenced countless artists and movements in the centuries following its creation.
