Master piece: Mona Lisa

I am not a really a fan of art. It’s not my thing, but we have to know a thing or two for general culture. One of the masterpiece admire for a lot of people is Mona Lisa. Without a doubt, Leonardo Da Vinci painted this famous painting. In fact, this painting has been claimed to be “the best known, the most visited, the most written about, the most sung about, the most parodied work of art in the world.” What interests me the most of Mona Lisa is the expression. Her expression is very subjective, because everybody has a different vision of the painting.

He began to paint Mona Lisa in Italy. Is not 100 percent certain why Leonardo Da Vinci didn’t complete any of his work. In 1911 was the first time that they robbed Leonardo Da Vinci’s painting. This painting has been robbed too many times. Frankly, it amaze me the idea of robbing a famous piece of art. I don’t think is a good idea and it makes no sense. I can’t relate to it, but maybe if I were a huge fan of art probably I would rob it. Now is protected with a bulletproof glass.

Indisputable, the aesthetics is beautiful. Every detail of Mona Lisa is very precise. As a matter of fact, Leonardo uses a pyramid design to place the woman in the painting. Another detail of the art is that her breast, neck and face glow in the same light that models her hand. To tell you the truth, I don’t know how Leonardo learns all these techniques. But the landscape in the background makes it more interesting. To be honest, this painting is very complex. This is the reason why I’m a big fan of this art.

Over time the value of Mona Lisa increase every year. Is undeniably how expensive this painting is. It is believed that Francis I bought Mona Lisa in 1504 or 1506 for $9,200. In 1962, it is value over $100 million, but they spend the money in the security and safety. The last time they value this painting was in 2012. Mona Lisa is worth more than $760 million making by far the most valued painting in the world.  Is too much money to handle.

It is not debatable the popularity of the painting. This will be an expensive art and always will be. I think is more important to know how he learns all these techniques. In my opinion, he was a genius and creative. This painting surprises me, because it has a lot of details and makes it very profound. The legacy and the history of Mona Lisa will remain. The Mona Lisa continues to inspire artists around the world.
