    Mona

    Lisa
    And the Renaissance
    Leonardo da Vinci was an artist
    during the time period known as
    the Renaissance. “Renaissance”
    is the French word for “rebirth”.
    This was a period of great change
    in Art as well as science,
    philosophy, and other forms of art
    such as music, dance,
    architecture, and literature. The
    Renaissance occurred roughly
    between the 14th and 17th century
    throughout Europe.
    The Mona Lisa was
    painted by
    Leonardo da Vinci
    in 1503-1506.

    It is one of the most famous,


    and most recognized,
    paintings in the world.
    Why is this
    painting so
    popular?
    'Mona Lisa‘ or GIOCONDA
    • Da Vinci's most well-known painting, and
    arguably the most famous painting in the
    world, the "Mona Lisa," was a privately
    commissioned work and was completed
    sometime between 1505 and 1507. It is the
    inherent spirituality of the human creature
    that Leonardo was able to transfer to the
    picture that raises the human figure to some
    kind of majesty.
    Based on accounts from an early biographer, the
    "Mona Lisa" is a picture of Lisa Gioconda, the
    real-life wife of a merchant, but that's far from
    certain. For da Vinci, the "Mona Lisa" was
    forever a work in progress, as it was his attempt
    at perfection. The painting was never delivered to
    its commissioner; da Vinci kept it with him until
    the end of his life. Today, the "Mona Lisa" hangs
    in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, secured
    behind bulletproof glass, and is regarded as a
    priceless national treasure.
    Many well-known
    artists have copied
    the Mona Lisa, or
    have incorporated
    it into their own
    artwork.

    Questions:
    • Did you draw a human face using correct
    proportions and measures?
    • Did you develop an individual approach of
    expression in the portrait?
    • Did you use distortion or different
    techniques to create a meaning?
    • Did you evaluate your art work?
    Salvador Dali
    Botero
    Andy Warhol
    The Mona Lisa has
    been turned into
    any imaginable
    object.
    Many
    advertisements in
    today’s culture use
    the Mona Lisa.
    There have also
    been many artistic
    “take-offs” of the
    Mona Lisa.
    Your goal is to give the Mona
    Lisa a “rebirth” by painting it
    like the original, but changing
    the head and hands to
    something different. We will
    be having our own
    “Renaissance” in class by
    changing the most popular
    painting in history into
    something that interests us as
    individuals.
