Hey Gang,Sorry the flash is so weird on this one. It really bleach out the lower section. I should have just retaken the picture, but I'm reading to go home. So yeah, here is my sad attempt at the Mona Lisa. The Mona Lisa is one of those paintings that is such a part of our culture that everyone is so familiar with her bone structure, so if you're off by a fraction of a centimeter in any direction with any facial feature, people can tell right away. So, as you can see, I'm off quite a bit.
People think that the Mona Lisa is an epic painting because of how technically superior it is to any other painting. People think there are all these hidden meanings behind her eyes or her smile. Not true. This painting has just been the focus of vandalism an theft for over a hundred years while at the Louvre. It started with an angry Italian guard who felt that France should not own art from an Italian painter. He felt it belonged to Italy. So one day, he stole it! It appeared years later only to be victim of different attempts to destroy it. Weird, eh?
