How could one compare Bono from U2 to Mona Lisa?
Well, that's certainly an unusual comparison! You can say that both of them are famous. Both would probably be recognized if you showed their photo to most people in modern society. Both inspire emotion - Bono writes moving songs and Mona Lisa is a moving portrait. Images of both are plastered on many souvenirs. Differences: well, one is a man and one is a woman! Bono is an Irishman and Mona Lisa was probably Italian. One is a vocalist and the other was a rich housewife (probably). One smiles inigmatically and the other one grins like a Sonic Leprechaun. Mona Lisa basically just sits there; Bono runs around trying to save the world most of the time.

What art frame would the monalisa be?
Mona Lisa (also known as La Giocondaor La Joconde) is a 16th-century portrait painted in oil on a poplar panel by Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci during the Renaissance in Florence, Italy. The work is currently owned by the Government of France and is on display at the Musée du Louvre in Paris under the title Portrait of Lisa Gherardini, wife of Francesco del Giocondo.[1]
The painting is a half-length portrait and depicts a seated woman (it is almost unanimous that she is Lisa del Giocondo) whose facial expression is frequently described as enigmatic.[2] The ambiguity of the subject's expression, the monumentality of the composition, and the subtle modeling of forms and atmospheric illusionism were novel qualities that have contributed to the continuing fascination and study of the work.[1] The image is so widely recognised, caricatured, and sought out by visitors to the Louvre that it is considered the most famous painting in the world.
