Mona Lisa (English spelling)
A masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci. Not only does it represent a pinnacle of the Italian High Renaissance style, it is also considered a symbol of Western classical painting. 77cm height x 53cm width, oil on board. In the Louvre Museum. The year of production is unknown, but it is estimated to be around 1503-10. In the foreground, in front of the battlement, a half-torso young woman (who also appears middle-aged) clad in black clothes and a veil sits slightly to one side on an armchair, her androgynous expression sporting an ambiguous and enigmatic smile.
