don't know how much its worth...asking you

Notions of femininity: that woman are supposed to be weak; that woman cannot be strong; that muscles look masculine; that muscles are not beautiful or sexy on a female.

Emil Nolde died on April 13, 1954 at the age of 86.

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.

I think that the meaning of the Mona Lisa was to create something that would get people pondering for years and years and years about what the meaning of the Mona Lisa is. Seriously. Leo Da Vinci NEEDED attention.

According to CNN.com, a Frenchman claims that the eyebrows (and eyelashes) were actually painted on the portrait. A camera of his own design magnified the painting 24x and revealed a single lash.

The Frenchman, Pascal Cotte, has done a virtual recreation of the original painting based on what his infrared camera shows. He says the eyebrows and lashes may have been destroyed by a too vigorous cleaning.

Are you talking about Leonardo da Vinci? How shall I know? You should always mention the artist when asking about a picture. Especially in this case. The last supper is a very important scene in the Bible and has been painted by hundreds of artists during the centuries. If you mean Leonardo's mural painting it is an epoch-making work which has got a very important place in the history of art.
