The Mona Lisa painting, by Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci, is the most spectacular artwork I have ever seen. I love how realistic the details were in each part of the paint drawing. This woman smiling, is pretty much the most memorable detail in worldwide history. Just imagine how anyone besides Leonardo da Vinci can create these kind of details. It's too bad I wasn't able to get a photo picture taken back in the Lourve Museum at least 6 years ago.
But I didn't think that Mona Lisa has a wedding ring which makes her a "virtuous woman and faithful wife" before Leonardo decided to not show the ring in either of her hands. Who would have thought that Mona Lisa is actually married to the famous painter like Leonardo da Vinci!? And it's interesting that the actual name for Mona Lisa is "Lisa del Giocondo," who is a member of the Gherardini family of Florence and Tuscany in Italy. I think Lisa did an amazing job acting as the model for Leonardo. Especially when the colors in this painting are visually beautiful. This is why I consider this my favorite work of Leonardo da Vinci.
The Last Supper painting is very detailed, as well as the amazing colors. It is truly a religious artwork masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci. Although it seems kind of sad about why it is called the "last supper," since it represents Jesus Christ's final meal prior to his crucifixion. But I cannot say how pleased I am with the amount of hard work Leonardo has done. It's no wonder that I would always pray each time I had breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
That seems kind of awful that since the 1970s, the painting's details used to be completely ruined and deteriorate in a bad way before going through a difficult process of restoration. I hope this is not one of the reasons why the restored details of the Last Supper used to be considered "controversial." But since this painting is now finally fixed in 1999, thanks to Pinin Brambilla Barcilon, I think this is perfect just the way as it is, regardless of what others say about these "so-called improvements." And, wow! That must've taken a REALLY long time to get this painting fixed correctly! If the restoration process didn't happen, then I would have liked the older version better!
Leonardo da Vinci has done it again, as usual! I love the beautiful details this Leda and the Swan painting has all over it! Surprising how the naked human children look like they were hatching from the eggs, as if the swan is could have been their mother instead of Leda. The skies and the lake are the background parts I like in this painting. The way that Leda is drawn, I love how realistic her details look.
Interesting that the names of the four children hatching from Leda's eggs are Helen of Troy, Castor, Clytemnestra, and Pollux. The first two are fathered by the Olympian God of Thunder, Zeus, while the latter are both fathered by Spartan king Tyndareus. But who would've thought that the swan "seducing" Leda is none other than Zeus himself! It's too bad that this painting is said to be "destroyed" since the 1500s. If only we got the chance to see this original copy by Leonardo before it was lost forever.
