  1. Mona Lisa: Yearbook Mid-term Be prepared to shine!

  2. Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinciwas born on April 15, 1452 and passed away onMay 2, 1519. He was a true Italian Renaissance Man, or a person whose talent spans a significant number of different areas. He was a painter, sculptor, architect, musician, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, map maker, botanist, and writer. His genius, perhaps more than that of any other figure, characterizes the Renaissance ideal. Leonardo has often been described as the model of the perfect man with an "unquenchable curiosity" and "feverishly inventive imagination". He is widely considered to be one of the greatest painters of all time and perhaps the most diversely talented person ever to have lived.

  3. Mona Lisa Among the works created by Leonardo in the 16th century is the small portrait known as the Mona Lisa or "la Gioconda", the laughing one. It is perhaps the most famous painting in the world. Its fame rests, in particular, on the mysterious smile on the woman's face, its secretive quality brought about perhaps by the fact that the artist has subtly shadowed the corners of the mouth and eyes so that the exact nature of the smile cannot be determined. It has been said that "the smile was so pleasing that it seemed divine rather than human; and those who saw it were amazed to find that it was as alive as the original".
