Leonardo Da Vinci And His MonaLisa Work

The artists who excelled in painting are many more. One ofthe world’s painting work is Mona lisa painting. The most sung about, most famous in the world. It earned the guiness record for its aesthetic values. The most valuable work of the artist, Leonardo da Vinci, who gifted this painting to his ma dona (his wife).

The painting is done in the year of 1503 perhaps continuing till 1517. Leonardo is the italian polymath of the renaissance interested on the areas like mathematics, engineering, science, painting, drawing, sculpting, architecture and music.

He is known as the father of paleontology and the greatest painter of all time. He is known for his unquenchable curiosity and at age 14, he was apprenticed in Verrocchio's workshop. His professional life revolves around many universally accepted paintings like

• The Last Supper (c. 1495–98)

• Vitruvian Man (c. 1490)

• The Virgin of the Rocks (c. 1483–86)

• Head of a Woman (1500–10)

• Lady with an Ermine (c. 1489–91)

• Salvator Mundi (c. 1500)

• Ginevra de’ Benci (c. 1474/78)

• The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne (c. 1503–19)

His painting works made on the variety of surfaces mostly on wet-plaster or stone wall. He is the master in chiaroscuro (meaning ‘light/dark’). Yeah! his work depicts light and shadow and won’t be in richer hue. As he himself mentioned in his notebooks,

"Your shadows and lights should be blended without lines or borders in the manner of smoke losing itself in the air.”

He always believed that he is connected to science and nature. He followed the “sfumato” technique of painting.

The facts which makes us to inspire him are…
he wrote the text in reverse manner. He believed there is no barrier between science and art. He never finished the Mona lisa painting. He dissected corpses since he had interest in human anatomy. So he is not only a painter, but also an architect well scientist and engineer.

Thus, I conclude here, to think and if interested read about the persons you inspire in your life.Well, everyone is unique and have one choice to make their life beautiful in their own way. Try it and prove ourselves that we are the best in what we choose!!!
