Who is Mona Lisa? I guess a lot of us know Mona Lisa, but do we know who is the girl behind that drawing? Well, I guess none, even me, I researched about Mona Lisa before I went to this site. So, Mona Lisa or Lisa del Giocondo is the wife of Francesco del Giocondo. The Mona Lisa is a portrait of a woman by Leonardo da Vinci, an Italian artist who is also a great architect, inventor and other. Leonardo da Vinci began painting Mona Lisa in Florence, Italy.
The real name of Mona Lisa is Lisa Gherardini Giocondo. She is called "La Giocondo" in Italian and "La Joconde" in French. Lisa Giocondo is really beautiful, imagine if she is alive right now, for sure, she will get tons of suitor. Da vinci took more than 4 years to paint Mona Lisa.The painting has been a part of France's royal collection since the early 16th century. King Francis I purchased the painting from Leonardo after the artist accepted his invitation to live in France in 1517.
The painting hang today in La Louvre Museum in France, the museum gets 6 million visits every year. And did you know that Mona Lisa is kept in a bulletproof box and every year Mona Lisa receives a check-up in which the box surrounding it is opened and the climatic conditions.
