Why is the painting of Mona Lisa so good?

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.

Can there be no complete subject in a sentence?

No, there has to be a subject in every sentence.Not always, passive sentences don't have to have a subject.Leonardo Da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa in the 16th century. - this is an active sentence we can see the subject is Leonardo Da Vinci.The Mona Lisa was painted in the 16th century. - this is a passive sentence it doesn't tell us who (subject) painted the Mona Lisa.The last comment is incorrect. In the example 'The Mona Lisa was painted in the 16th century', the subject of the sentence is 'The Mona Lisa'. It is the verb, not the sentence, that does not have a subject. That is the difference between active and passive constructions: in the former, the subject of the sentence is the subject of the verb; in the latter, the subject of the sentence is the object of the verb.There are, however, constructions in which neither the sentence nor the verb has a subject. One is imperative sentences, for example 'Sit down!' Here the subject ('you') is understood but not stated. Another construction is impersonal verbs, which are typically used in statements about the weather, for example 'It is raining.' Here there is no subject; the whole sentence is a verb.
