Facts about mona Lisa?

Mona Lisa (also known as La Gioconda or La Joconde) is a 16th century oil painting done by Leonardo Di Vinci during the Italian Renaissance. The work is owned by the Government of France and is on the wall in the Louvre in Paris, France. It is perhaps the most famous and iconic painting in the world.The painting is a half-length portrait and depicts a woman whose facial expression is often described as enigmatic. The ambiguity of the sitter's expression, the monumental pose of the half-figure composition, and the subtle modeling of forms and atmospheric illusion-ism were novel qualities that have contributed to the painting's continuing fascination.

Where can you find The Last Supper?

The original painting of the Last Supper(Leonardo da Vinci) is in the Santa Maria delle Grazie church in Milan, Italy. It is a fresco, which means it was painted into the fresh plaster of the church's wall, and thus can never be removed. It is in very poor condition though it has been restored repeatedly over the years. It is also difficult to visit because many more people want to see it than can be accommodated. (Tickets can be obtained on-line even from abroad; it would be wise to do so in advance if you are planning a trip to Italy.) I am attaching a link to a 360 degree view of the church so you can have a virtual tour in the meantime!

Why did van Gogh paint the 'Pair of Shoes'?

This is like asking, "Why do Christians believe in God?" Only not as serious. Van Gogh paints things because of experiences, observations, etc-- The same reason everyone else paints everything. You cannot pinpoint one reason why one artist makes every painting. There's a reasoning behind all of them. The only way you would be able to know the exact answer to this question is if you spoke to Van Gogh directly and asked him why he made each and every painting that he made. Simple as that. Sorry for the overly long answer, but it's very difficult to explain in few words without sounding mean or harsh.
