This is my first presentation I hope will like it.

1. Mona Lisa

2. About Mona Lisa
Leonardo da Vinci's iconic Mona Lisa, the world's most famous,
recognizable, and copied artwork, has a storied history. Painted
between 1503 and 1519, it was owned by French royalty for
centuries. Liberated by Revolutionary forces, the painting briefly
adorned Napoleon's bedroom, then was installed in the Louvre.

3. Thought by most scholars to be a portrait of Italian noble Lisa del
Giocondo, this beautiful, dark-haired woman with an enigmatic gaze
has fascinated people for ages. Unlike most 16th-
century portraits of nobility, which showed off their social status
and wealth with flamboyant clothing, hairstyles and accessories,
Mona Lisa is dressed in elegant simplicity, which draws attention to
her face.

4. Mona Lisa showcases many painterly techniques da Vinci employed,
including sfumato and aerial perspective. DaVinci used sfumato, which
means “vanished or evaporated,” to create imperceptible transitions
between light and dark, while the background fades into the distance.
This is another deviation from traditional Italian portraiture, which
painted the background in the same sharp focus as the central figure.
Relatively unknown to the general public, but lauded as a masterwork by
artists and intelligentsia, Mona Lisa’s 1911 theft brought notoriety.
Picasso, French poet Apollinaire and American tycoon JP Morgan were
all suspects during the investigation, but the actual culprit was Louvre
employee Vincenzo Peruggia, with two accomplices. One of the
accomplices claimed to have made six indistinguishable forgeries, leading
to a rumor that the Mona Lisa currently in the Louvre is a fake.
