When the Mona Lisa was stolen from the Louvre Museum in 1911, newspaper headlines around the world claimed that the most famous painting in the world had been taken. It was recovered two years later, after French police solved the mystery of its disappearance. However, many more mysteries still surround the famous painting.
The Mona Lisa is the portrait of a woman from Florence, Italy, painted by Leonardo da Vinci between 1503 and 1506. Despite knowing this information, art historians have no idea whom Mona Lisa was. She is suspected to have been Lisa, the wife of a rich Florentine, Franceseo del Giocon-do. Still, no one is certain of the actual identity of the model. Although Leonardo kept notebooks recording the names of the people he painted, there is no mention of this particular woman. Some historians think she may not be a single woman at all: Leonardo may have combined the features of many women, or simply imagined her.
If you spend some time studying the Mona Lisa, you will begin to understand what makes it so special. First, you will see how alive the woman in the painting appears. It seems that Leonardo devised some technique that blurred parts of the painting and used softened colours. This makes Mona Lisa’s features slightly unclear. This can be particularly seen in her smile, which gives different impressions on different days. Louvre Gallery workers say that an some days she looks happy but on other days she does not. Her mysterious smile has been studied and discussed for centuries.
Mona Lisa has no eyebrows because it was fashionable for a beautiful person to have a wide forehead. So, women removed the hairs from their eyebrows as part of a fad.

This concerns art historians and art lovers alike, who hope that the painting will survive to provide mystery and beauty for centuries to come.
