people say because she was his friend but i don't know honestly. it did turn out beautiful. he painted Mona Lisa in 1503 and Vitruvian Man in about 1492. the original of Vitruvian Man is in Venice, Italy. he didn't give it to her because he loved it so much. but i think why he did will remain a mystery because its not like we can ask him anymore. he painted her by using light strokes that barely showed up. he used oils. people say he started painting himself because both of these two pictures have like the same character except of course their gender and like shape or something. hope i helped!!

The Mona Lisa portrait was commissioned by her husband. The Vitruvian Man is a study of anatomic proportions, one of Leonardo's interests.
