So I thought I would be incredibly unoriginal this week for my blog and put up a picture that doubtlessly many of you will also pick. But this picture intrigues me so much I thought I'd comment on it anyway. I have selected the mona lisa. The portrait was obviously done by the famous Leonardo Da Vinci, and is an oil on wood painting. The woman in this portrait is extremely unremarkable, with no obvious adornment or rich clothing. Who was this young woman? Another interesting thing about this painting to me is the slighty smile she has. What could she be smiling at?
I don't think the mysteries of this painting will ever be really be unlocked, be they many or few, but it's very interesting to speculate.
