About Mona Lisa
The Mona Lisa is a half-length portrait painting created by Italian Renaissance master Leonardo da Vinci. The subject of the painting is believed to be Lisa Gherardini, a wealthy Florentine woman. The painting measures 77 x 53 cm and is executed in oil on a poplar panel.
The Mona Lisa is famous for its enigmatic smile, which appears to change depending on the viewer’s perspective. The subject’s gaze invites the viewer into the painting, while the delicate modeling of her face and hands is offset by the rich folds of her dress and veil.
Leonardo’s mastery of sfumato, a technique of blending colors to create a soft, hazy effect, is evident in the Mona Lisa. He used this technique to create a dreamlike atmosphere and imbue the painting with a sense of depth and luminosity. The subtle use of light and shadow adds to the painting’s realism and creates a sense of depth, making the Mona Lisa seem almost alive.
