Look carefully at the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. If you look closely enough at the background behind the Mona Lisa, then you will notice that the landscape behind her simply isn't even. On her left hand side, there are tall spiky mountains and on her right hand side there are trees of some kind. And in-front of the trees there is a river of some kind flowing towards you.

Shouldn't the land be straight and not having one (the land underneath the mountains) higher than the other (the land underneath the trees)?

What do critics say about the Mona Lisa?
(Of the Mona Lisa) She is older than the rocks among which she sits; like the vampire, she has been dead many times and learned the secrets of the grave. Walter Pater - Studies in the History of the Renaissance (1873)
Curiosity and the desire for beauty - These are the two elementary forces in Leonardo's genius; curiosity of ten in conflict with the desire for beauty, but generating, in union with it a type of subtle and curious grace. Walter Pater - Studies in the History of the Renaissance (1873)
(Of Leonardo's Mona Lisa) What voluptuousness…so like the seduction by the violins in the overture to Tannhauser.
Maurice Denis - "Definition of Neotraditionism (1890)
The smile of La Gioconda was for too long, perhaps, the Sun of Art. The adoration of her is like a decadent Christianity - peculiarly depressing, utterly demoralizing. One might say to paraphrase, Arthur Rimbaud, that La Gioconda, the eternal Gioconda has been a thief of the energies. André Salmon, La jeune peinture francaise (1912).
(Of the Mona Lisa) Her hesitating smile which held my youth in a little tether has come to seem to me but a grimace and the pale mountains no more mysterious that a globe or map seen at a distance, a sort of riddle, an acrostic, a poetical decoction, a ballade, a rondel, a villanelle or ballade with double burden, a sestina or chant royal. The Mona Lisa (is) literature in intention rather than painting - George Moore, Wale, (1914).
