Virgin of the Rocks, by Leonardo da vinci
No. It's not a Virgin of the Rocks!!! it is The Wedding Feast at Cana (by Veronese)
The huge painting with the size of 6.77 x 9.94 m
Leonardo left the paintings that were in his possession (including the Mona Lisa and St John the Baptist) to his apprentice Salai and all of his notebooks to his apprentice Melzi. He also lef a cloak to his house servant - Caterina P.S. I - Please note that Leonardo's mother was also called Caterina but, this is not the same person. P.S. II - A few years later when Salai was killed in a bar brawl, his heirs sold the Mona Lisa to King Francis I. The Mona Lisa has been in France ever since.
Original Answer: People think the Mona Lisa is such a great painting because in the painting the woman's eyes are very mysterious. Where ever you stand they seem to follow you. People are facsinated by this which is why it is so good. Rebuttal: There is nothing good about the Mona Lisa to make her stand out from all the other portraits that were created during the High Renaissance. The woman in the Mona Lisa portrait is a noblewoman, and her "mysterious smile" is nothing more than the way all noblewoman were portrayed. There was a decorous way the women had to present themselves and the half-smile is a smirk down to the lower classes, in essence saying that she is better than all the people below her in rank. Also, the painting has been cut down over the years. One owner decided that the frame he already owned upon obtaining the painting was more important than the painting itself. The painting used to be twice the size that it is today and there were once columns on either side of the painting. If people think that this painting is such a mysterious painting, then they are only uneducated and buy into the hype around the painting. To say that you have seen the Mona Lisa is to make it seem to other uneducated people that you have seen something remarkable and worth writing home about. Instead of waiting for the hundreds of people that seem to constantly surround the Mona Lisa on a daily basis, take a look at some of the other paintings that are in the same gallery and that are unfortunately neglected by people who would rather see a famous noblewoman smirking at them.
Angus mazwell painted the abomination next door to were the mona Lisa was painted, they were both painted at the same time.

it is the same face of Leonardo da vinci, he made himself look like a girl, ITS THE TRUTHAnswer 2:It is NOT the truth - it is one of many unproven theories.
No. He painted in the late 1400s and acrylics were invented in the 1950s.
Some of the most famous artifacts in the world include the Rosetta Stone, the Mona Lisa, the Terracotta Army, and the Hope Diamond. These artifacts are renowned for their historical, cultural, or artistic significance.
Leonardo da Vinci, was often hired to paint for Churches. Leonardo da Vinci, was not religious, and did not have the same beliefs as the Churches he painted for. As if to get revenge, he painted his beliefs of the Bible rather than the Churches. In the last Supper, There are supposed to be 13 men, and one cup (The cup Of Christ). However, in da Vinci's painting there are 12 men around the table and one women, who is immediately to the right of Jesus. This is supposedly his "wife" according to Leonardo da Vinci, her first name Mary, like his mothers. The second thing out of place is there were 13 cups... Not one cup. Leonardo did this to express his opinion that the Chalice (A.K.A Cup Of Christ) Was Mary. (Jesus's wife not his mother). Da Vinci's painting 'The Mona Lisa' is not a woman, nor a man. it is both. If you look at Mona Lisa's face it is not clearly a woman, nor a man. Mona is the god of male sexuality, while L'ISA is the goddess of female sexuality. That's why da Vinci called it the Mona Lisa. It is neither woman or man. So basically, most of da Vinci's paintings were about his view of Christianity, and the Bible. A little insight into the world of Leonardo da Vinci.
