Why is Mona Lisa the most famous and greatest portrait in the world?

If The Last Supper is the most famous religious painting in the world, the Mona Lisa painted by Leonardo da Vinci when he returned to Florence from Milan at the age of 5/kloc-0 is undoubtedly the most famous and greatest portrait in the world. These two world-famous works make Leonardo da Vinci's name go down in history forever.

Mona Lisa, a well-known portrait, represents the highest artistic achievement of Leonardo da Vinci, and it successfully shaped the image of bourgeois women in a city during the rise of capitalism. The figures in the painting sit gracefully, with implicit smiles and deep mountains and rivers as the background, vividly showing the painter's unique smoky brushwork.

Judging from the whole painting, Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa inherits the solemn, elegant, balanced, stable, idealized and rational expression mode of Greek classicism, but it further breaks through the limitations of Greek classical art in human body characteristics, setting a model for future generations' art to further move towards true, objective, deeper, more internal and more subtle expression.
