Created by Leonardo da Vinci in 1507 which was 501 years ago. Relic items are considered piece of precious art with time. Mona Lisa is famous for her facial expression. Question being "What is the reason beneath the smile?". There are critics that argued Mona Lisa was actually a female being, rather than an imaginary model, and was actually pregnant. One of the many reasons was due to the fact that she was unable to contain the happiness of haing a small life growing inside her and hence, the smile. Contrary, researchers have another point of view in explaining why this smile of Mona Lisa was so intriguing. The smile of deceit. Having to do something evil and feeling conceited about conquering good with evil. Innocent minds might be just looking at the surface. It's just a smile. Nothing more to it. Some mentioned that she was one that had been dead many times and learned the secrets of the grave. Again, people have different perspectives and views upon an item. There are more to it. Many more. Endless.
Who or what is she looking at? The artist? Is it Leonardo's imagination of the model? Is it what he had intended to paint and create a 'smile' that will be of interest of many in the future? Has he already perceived of what is mysterious and appealing so as to attract? Did he have a foresight of what is happening? Why was the painting deemed so intriguing after he died?
Is it only after a person's death that someone else will treasure of what's left behind?
