there are many speculations on what the famed Mona Lisa represented. since it was acquired after Leonardo di ser Piero (da Vinci)'s demise, scholars have given various interpretations on what the painting meant, and who the Mona Lisa was. even to this day, a plethora of explanations have arisen on the mysterious woman and his equally fascinating smile.

blur has enumerated the various reasons on why the artwork is considered priceless. however, i beg to differ into your quick association of the word 'mystery' with 'ignorance'.

learned people have dissected what was known of Leonardo's life and came up with various surprising secrets that the master held to himself. they have reached various conclusions which we might consider quite far off, but fortunately, there is always evidence, however circumstantial, to back up their claims.

many things about Leonardo da Vinci, as well as his famous Mona Lisa is shrouded in mystery and that is precisely why it appeals to many. a ready explanation would not entice people to dig deeper and find out the truth behind a mystery.

when someone acts to find a solution to such mysteries, that is the precise time when the dark veil of ignorance is lifted.

so unsa man bro?

that was the fad at that time..women shave thier eyebrows at that time just as women pluck thier eyebrows nowadays

segurado ka ani?

it was also a symbolic reuniting of the masculine and feminine aspect..the name Mona Lisa was a combination of two Egyptian god and goddess AMON and ISIS..

ha ha. That's according to Dan Brown which is, of course, wrong.

The original title was La Giaconda after the name of the subject, Lisa Gherardini, wife of Francesco Giacondo.

So you see, all these speculations that it was a self-portrait of a gay and transvestite Renaissance artist are just that - speculations.
