Mona Lisa, this is an endless question. Many people in the world are studying Mona Lisa, and there are hundreds of books introducing her. However, she is a mystery after all. The passage of time will not solve the puzzle, but will only leave more doubts for future generations with the deepening of research. Mona Lisa, this is an endless question. People often wonder: Leonardo, who has the same wisdom as God, can collect so many beautiful elements and combine many beautiful things into a perfect one. In this way, "Mona Lisa" brings people infinite beautiful reverie, which perfectly combines beauty, wisdom, eternity, trinity and extreme collocation, and there is no possibility of transcendence. Therefore, people love her so much that they endlessly discuss her subtle, fleeting but unchanging smile, omniscient and all-encompassing eyes, dignified and calm posture, noble and simple costume and impeccable perfection.

Composition. People are willing to live in her shade and absorb nourishing nutrition; I long to get out of her shadow and breathe the free air. For many years, countless people who are obsessed with painting things have been troubled by this contradiction.

Some people say that this work of art is an immortal legend, not a legend. Although it is closely related to Leonardo da Vinci, it is entirely the work of future generations to a greater extent. Myth is like a snowball, which keeps rolling over time and expands infinitely. Today, the Mona Lisa sits in a prominent position in the Louvre, welcoming thousands of tourists through thick bulletproof glass and with a mysterious and eternal smile that we are familiar with every day. These pilgrimage-like audiences are full of all kinds of questions. They are eager to read the answer through this gentle and quiet face, but when they leave, they take away more questions. There are many problems, many of which have nothing to do with the Mona Lisa. Some people may ask: Is Mona Lisa the name of the person in the painting or another name for the smile? Is the person in the picture the wife of banker Joe Gondo or Princess Isabel? Does this painting have a real model, or is it drawn by imagination? Is Mona Lisa's puzzled expression really a smile? Isn't it caused by facial paralysis? Is the Mona Lisa a man or a woman? Is the prototype Leonardo himself? The more bizarre the problem is, the farther away it is from the painting itself, which not only does not help to interpret the painting, but leads people astray.

In fact, some questions have constituted blasphemy against the Mona Lisa, but the questioner has not yet noticed it. Is the Mona Lisa a man or a woman? Is it necessary to ask? No one with gender awareness should question this, but some people still insist on asking such absurd questions. Some people say that Mona Lisa gives people a neutral feeling, at least she won't give people a sexual temptation. Excuse me, can only sex appeal constitute female beauty? So, what's the difference between portraits and pornographic photos? There is no doubt that Mona Lisa is beautiful, and her beauty is fully reflected in the beauty of human nature, not limited to female characteristics; In other words, her beauty has surpassed the gender barrier, but this does not mean that she can't distinguish between the sexes. If there is no ulterior motive, it is very boring to ask absurd questions about obvious facts. It's outrageous to say facial paralysis in the face of a pleasing portrait. Is Mona Lisa's expression stiff? It's ridiculous to say that a moment's expression is frozen and stiff. The smile is indescribable. Unconscious smile, friendly smile, gratified smile or slightly sarcastic smile in concentration are everyone's feelings under different emotions, but there is no doubt about it. As for some people who think that Mona Lisa's smile is beyond the reach of ordinary people, there is absolutely no need to conclude that this painting is not based on a real person, but is entirely based on imagination. People are amazed at Leonardo da Vinci's superb painting skills: the people in the painting, from the five senses to the hands, to other parts of the body, including clothes, are so real and tangible, almost within reach, beyond imagination. If there were no real people for reference, even if he had great talent, Leonardo could not have painted so vividly and delicately. Someone wants to ask, the eyes of the person in the painting are so far away from her smile, that is

Is it personal? Why can't modern people imitate it? In fact, such a question is easy to answer. Anyone who knows painting knows that portrait painting is different from character prototype. A good portrait should first reflect the interactive relationship between the author and the object of performance; The painter melts his wisdom, emotion, philosophy of life, spiritual desire and so on into the characters in the painting, and the audience will certainly read more from the picture than the real characters. After we learned about leonardo da vinci's life and his extraordinary achievements in many fields, the above problems were solved. In this case, it doesn't matter who the wife and name of the person in the painting are. She is the collection of all leonardo da vinci's artistic talents and the concentrated expression of his ideal personality. In this sense, she is not anyone's wife, she is a perfect human nature beyond the limits of convention. We can understand that Mona Lisa is a spiritual portrait of Leonardo da Vinci, but it is too vulgar to say that she is a model. Someone compared Leonardo da Vinci's self-portrait with Mona Lisa through computer technology, and found that the basic structure of the two was strikingly similar, so he concluded that the painting was based on himself. In fact, this is nitpicking. Similarity does not mean coincidence, of course, complete coincidence is impossible, just like the person in the painting is not completely the same as the real person; But different people always have similarities, similarity is the main thing, but the difference is very small; What's more, every painter always unconsciously brings his own image into the picture when describing others, because the painter is most familiar with himself; I think Leonardo da Vinci will be no exception. Having said that, there is no need to explain the remaining questions. If we look at more paintings and get in touch with painters, then irrelevant questions will not be raised. Refuting these questions doesn't mean that the study of Mona Lisa is meaningless. As the most famous work in the history of world art, there are bound to be endless problems for future generations to discuss. People are so familiar with the Mona Lisa that it is hard to be fresh. However, people who are fascinated by this painting will get new gains every time they look at it, and the mystery is even understandable.

There is another legend about the Mona Lisa. In 8 17 BC, there was a female sacrifice named Hagbusu in ancient Egypt, which was very beautiful and could predict the future. In order to pray for the Pharaoh and obtain eternal life, she made a mummy voluntarily and buried it in the sarcophagus of pyramid of khufu. In 2003, the archaeological team opened her sarcophagus, and there was nothing inside! They also found that the ancient writing on the tomb wall was a prophecy left by the priestess: she would be resurrected in 300 years, and then Leonardo, a painter from Finch, would draw her smile. Is this the Mona Lisa in Leonardo's painting? ! This statement is very bizarre, and I hope that in the near future, the truth will make us let go.

Centuries have passed, and the Mona Lisa has almost become a rule, followed by countless artists. However, in the art world, if there are regular founders, there will be subversives. The 20th century is a century in which art moves towards freedom and pluralism, and many originally sacred laws are passively shaken. Look at the Mona Lisa's experience in the past 100 years: first, Toussaint drew a moustache and goatee on her beautiful face with a pencil and inscribed the letter L.H.O.O.Q; Then the photographer

Halsman replaced the Mona Lisa's face with Dali's weird face: bulging eyes, a beard with raised eyebrows, and a hand full of coins; Later, a South American painter Pautrot painted the Mona Lisa chubby, and her face looked like an inflatable ball.
