Mona Lisa is one of the most if not the most famous and well known pieces of art. The painting is done by one of the most famous artists to have been born. That artist is Leonardo da Vinci. The painting was done between 1503 and 1506. One of the mysteries surrounding this famous painting is the identity of the woman in the painting. There have been may speculations about the identity and until now no one is sure who the woman really is. One of the people believed to be the woman is Lisa Gherardini. Another theory is that it is a self portrait of da Vinci himself.
Perhaps the greatest mystery about this painting is it's smile. Most people who look at this painting tend to be drawn by the enigmatic smile. Some researchers believe that the smile is nothing special. But some believe that the painting may be hiding secrets or clues and that the key to unlocking those secrets is the smile. I myself was captured by that smile and it has left me puzzled.
