Anonymous: We don't know the answer but it maybe a YES because Leonardo da vinci was painting pictures of her so they might of got married to each other.
XxvenusxX: Thanks, But we are not always right .but we think that's the answer They were not married. Even if they wanted to get married they couldn't. As Mona Lisa was a high class lady while Leonardo was a artist. So,they might of loved each other,but their marridge was forbidden
Anonymous: Just because you paint a picture of someone it doesn't mean you are married. Her husband (if she had one) could've paid him to paint her. my guess was he wasn't married.

If you are going to be in Paris for several days and plan to visit several museums, I recommend purchasing a Paris Museum Pass. It gets you into almost all of Paris's major tourist attractions, including The Louvre. Museum pass holders are permitted to bypass the regular queue, which is quite long and often wraps around the perimeter of the museum, and enter through a special side entrance with little or no wait. (For more information about the Paris Museum Pass, try searching Google with the search form on the right.) Once inside the museum, many visitors are literally overwhelmed by the sheer size and scope of the building and most Americans are taken aback by the amusement park sized crowds The Louvre draws. There are countless signs posted all over the museum with arrows pointing the way toward the Mona Lisa, which is located in the Denon Wing. At times, the arrows can be somewhat confusing, but my advice would be to follow the crowds. The closer you get to the Mona Lisa, the thicker the crowds will be. When you get really close, you will actually encounter a roped off queue area. When you get to this point, I would recommend either hiding your camera or putting it away. Taking pictures of the Mona Lisa is not officially allowed, although you will see many people sneaking pictures anyway and, truthfully, the security staff is so overwhelmed by the amount of people taking pictures that it's virtually impossible for them to stop diehard shutterbugs. As long as you're discreet or are thick skinned enough to tolerate some scolding from security in the event you are caught, you will be able to snap a picture or two, even if it's not technically permitted. The major reason for not allowing photographs is damage to paintings from flashes, so please turn the flash off, and many rooms do allow photographs. You should also be prepared to experience only a walk by view of the painting. On extremely busy days, the museum staff steadily ushers onlookers past the painting in order to keep the crowds moving at a fairly steady pace. If you have always visualized yourself standing in front of the Mona Lisa for hours while contemplating the meaning behind her smile, I am sorry to have to be the one to disappoint you, but pausing in front of her is often not permitted because it interferes with crowd control.

Why does mona lisa have no eyebrows?
While it looks as through DaVinci painted his famous Mona Lisa without eyebrows or eyelashes, they were actually painted on in his original painting.

What is the focal point element of the Mona Lisa?
hatching, cross hatching and smudging
If you are referring to Leonardo Da Vinci's masterpiece, also known as La Gioconda, it is an oil painting, so the answer above is not applicable. The keyword frequently associated with this painting is the 'chiaroscuro' technique.
Many people confuse techniques with elements in art. Classically there are five elements of art: line, mass, shape, color, and form. Leonardo also introduced the newly discovered technique of perspective in this portrait.
Some people definitely think so. It is artwork, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It is obviously very popular to enough people that it is valuable and cherished, but there isn't any reason that an individual should feel obligated to learn to see beauty where he finds none.
What is the alternative name of the painting of the Mona Lisa?
It is also called "La Gioconda", as her husband's name was Giocondo.

Why did Leonardo paint The Mona Lisa?
The Mona Lisa (begun 1503, completed 1506) is believed to be the portrait of a Florentine citizen's young third wife, Lisa Gherardini Giocondo. If that was the case, Leonardo likely either painted it because he was commissioned to paint it, or painted it simply because he chose to. There is no historical proof of the subject's identity, however, and therefore no way to confirm exactly why he painted it.
There is also a theory, however, that the Mona Lisa was a feminized portrait of himself. This is unproven.
mona Lisa doesnt have a grave. she's a painting of an unknown person! the painting's held in France

A death certificate shows that Lisa Gherardini - the woman usually identified as the model for the "Mona Lisa" - died on July 15, 1542, in Florence and is buried in a convent in central Florence.
