"An artist is above all a human  being, profoundly human to the core. If the artist can not feel everything that humanity feels, if the artist is not capable of loving until he forgets himself and sacrifices himself if necessary, unless you want to put his magic brush and head the fight agaisnt the oppressor, then he is not a great artist"

Mona Lisa



Mona Lisa was painted by artist Leonardo da Vinci.
This portrait was doubtless painted in Florence between 1503 and 1506. It is thought to be of Lisa Gherardini, wife of a Florentine cloth merchant named Francesco del Giocondo - hence the alternative title, La Gioconda. However, Leonardo seems to have taken the completed portrait to France rather than giving it to the person who commissioned it. It was eventually returned to Italy by Leonardo's student and heir Salai. It is not known how the painting came to be in François I's collection.
