The Mona Lisa, of course you have heard of the painting before, right? Obviously it is one of the most amazing and one of the secretive paintings present in the world. But what makes this painting so amazing? Is it the intelligent use of colours? the hidden messages? What is there in this that makes this one of the most ‘discussed’ and ‘argued over’ paintings?

Obviously Art is a subjective term and I can’t tell you why or why not this is a good painting. It can make you feel happy, it can make you comfortable or it can make you cringe. This painting is something different. This painting doesn’t make us feel happy or sad, this painting makes us question it.

Now this can be a result of the articles we have read/heard or a direct result of looking at the painting. But it is true. We question this painting whenever we see it. Why is it that this woman here, a woman not known for anything else, not having any talent to entertain us is the subject of such a big conspiracy theory?

Leonardo Da Vinci painted this painting not with the intent of showing his skills, not with the intent of showing off Mona Lisa’s beauty, he made this painting because he wanted to give the next generation something so powerful and something so amazing that we may argue over it. That we may find out new dimensions of the painting that have never before been discovered.

He believed in the Human race and he was aware of the wonders our minds can do. And this was the reason he made possibly the most intelligent painting to ever be made. Yet!
