Comments on Mona Lisa

No work of art in the world is as famous as the Mona Lisa, and it has also attracted various opinions and comments. According to vasari's records, we can confirm that the person in the painting is Lisa, the wife of Florentine banker Francesco Gerardo Zogondo. She was born in 1479, and Finch painted her in 1503, when Lisa was 24-27 years old. The main expression of people in the painting is "smile", which is called "mysterious smile" by the world.

Zogondo, a banker, asked Finch to paint for his wife with rich remuneration. When the lady appeared in front of the painter, she wore luxurious clothes and had a fashionable hairstyle. She has a plump figure, neat eyebrows, flushed cheeks, and precious jewels on her neck and arms, and her whole body is full of naive and natural interests. Bright eyes sparkled under curved eyebrows. When she fixed her eyes on the famous painter, a head of Socrates with infinite wisdom came into view, with a silvery white beard on her face, which looked like a temporary god, quite different from the vulgar businessman she saw all day. A momentary heartfelt smile made her face look radiant and charming: shy and naughty, as if her lost youth had returned. The mystery in the depths of the soul was suddenly caught by an observant painter. "I agree to start work at once." Finch nodded to the Mona Lisa.

In order to maintain Lisa's smile, the painter told her wonderful and pleasant stories with his wise mind, and invited various clowns, pianists and street performers to perform for his wife, so as to wake up this depressed, indifferent and sleepy young woman. After Lisa sat down, she put one hand on the other and made a gesture of a young woman. The painter noticed that her bare neck and plump hands were unfortunately occupied by gold and silver jewelry. Finch said to Lisa, "if your wife doesn't object, I'd like to describe the neck and arms without any decoration." This is your purest beauty. Please take off all the ornaments symbolizing wealth and let me describe all the beauty that belongs to you. " So Lisa quickly faded all the ornaments. What we are seeing now is a young woman with no decoration and natural taste.

Mona Lisa reminds Finch of his birth mother, Albella. Once, the master confided his life experience to a young woman affectionately, as if he saw the image of his own mother from Lisa's figure. When talking about the death of his 24-year-old mother, his voice was full of pity and sorrow. Lisa said, "I'm 24 years old, too. I remind you of her." Lisa became the mysterious incarnation of Abena. So when the master painted Lisa, he painted it with sincere and pure feelings. He painted the portrait of this man with double feelings for his mother and lover. Not only that, he also described her as an ideal, a symbol of beauty, a joy and light of the human world. He wants to convey his beauty and experience to everyone with a brush. With the arrival of the Renaissance, God stepped down from the altar and became a man of flesh and blood, with feelings and desires. Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa became a symbol of this new era and went down in history.

PS: Personally, it's not bad, but I prefer Van Gogh.
