You must’ve heard about the Mona Lisa by now? It is arguably the most popular and treasured artwork ever created that exists today! Here’s a little background info from Wikipedia.org:
Mona Lisa, or La Gioconda (La Joconde), is a 16th century oil painting on a poplar panel by Leonardo Da Vinci. It is arguably the most famous painting in the world, and few other works of art have been subject to as much scrutiny, study, mythologizing and parody. It is owned by the French government and hangs in the Musée du Louvre in Paris.The painting, a half-length portrait, depicts a woman whose gaze meets the viewer’s with an expression often described as enigmatic.It is considered by many to be Leonardo’s magnum opus.
