Your Enigmatic Smile
Imagine
of something that intrigues you when you see it. That it is like a mysterious
thing that keeps you think of the answer. Probably, it’s hard to think but one
example is the enigmatic smile of Leonardo’s Mona Lisa painting. The happiness
of the smile is there but the smile not only means happy. It means a lot of
things that Mona Lisa is experiencing. And it is not only the Enigmatic smile
which gave the painting its popularity, there are also crimes and statements
from Leonardo itself that gave a full boost to the painting towards popularity.
Many
speculations, experiments and debates were done just to describe and know the
real meaning of Mona Lisa’s peculiar smile. All have contrasting and likely
ideas. I have much speculations and questions about the painting itself. Why Leonardo
does paint the picture? Why does he put that kind of smile? What is the purpose of Leonardo in painting
that picture? Many questions stop by our minds when we see or hear about Mona
Lisa.
I
can describe Mona Lisa as a lady sitting on a bench with a disease. She’s like
a lady that accomplished all the she wants in her life but there are some
things or persons that she disgusts of. The smile describes her and as a human
being, she got imperfections too. That people expect her to be perfect. She was
disgusted with the fact that not all people dressed in beautiful clothes are
beautiful within.
Mona
Lisa, as an overall painting, is like the normal painting that I always see.
But that smile puts a diamond in the rough. The painting Mona Lisa is the
second most expensive painting in the world and probably, the most intriguing
painting.
After
all the intrigues, speculations and crimes, the painting by Mona Lisa always
stay the same and the marks of history sheds in its texture. The painting
itself marked its history in human tradition and in the field of arts. The
excellence of Leonardo and his painting will exist in this world forever.
