Fascinating Painting


One of the Fascinating painting is The Mona Lisa Painting, it is the most famous painting in the world, which it aroused controversy in the history of art. However, there is no doubt that this painting has a lot of puzzles and secrets, but the real story of the painting still unknown yet. I did read a lot about the Mona Lisa painting and here is what I think is true.
Da Vinci began painting the unique portrait of the Mona Lisa in 1503 and the painting were completed in 1510. It is said that it was an Italian woman called Madonna Lisa Del Giocondo, the wife of an Italian businessman who asked Da Vinci to paint a portrait for his wife.
The Mona Lisa's painting is oil on poplar wood. Some Artists said the painting was large than it is now for unknown reasons it trimmed from edges. The most important characteristic of the painting is the view of the Mona Lisa and her mysterious smile. She has beautiful eyes looking at you from everywhere.
In August 21, 1911, an Italian man who works at the Louvre, stole the wonderful painting from the Museum "Louvre" and returned to Italy. He was apprehended by police two years later after he tried to sell the painting, and the painting was safely returned to Paris.
Mona Lisa will remain mystery and amazing portrait in the world. I hop one day I can travel to Paris to see the painting closer and have some pictures.
