Mona Lisa
The MonaLisa can arguably be referred to as the most magnificent painting of all time due to the great artistic features it represents. On first sight, the painting gives multiple impressions to the viewer that are left in mind as the memory of the interaction with this great masterpiece. The piece of art gives a feeling of calmness and peace at first sight. The face of Monalisa depicts that of a person who is surrounded by peace and calmness. It has an aura of relaxation. It feels comfortable.
The Monalisa is made up of several visual aspects that make it unique and engaging. The beauty of Monalisa is visual, which means that its strength and value can mostly be appreciated visually, and it is these features that make it the unique masterpiece that it is. Leonardo da Vinci applies colour professionally and uniquely that enhances the ability to interpret the art by the viewer effectively. Light paint is used to show Mona Lisa’s body in the foreground, which quickly makes her shape stand out in the entire art piece (Charlier, 2017). The darker colour is used to enhance the difference in material and distance. These are aspects such as the clothes, the different parts and elements of the terrain in the background.
The use of line is vital in art is key as it is line that joins up to give a form and shape. Leonardo da Vinci uses line to show the different parts of the piece as well as the texture. Line can be seen in the representation and formation of her dress and the various forms in the background. Border can be seen in the description of a path next to the right shoulder and the bridge next to the right shoulder (Da Vinci, 2015). A collection of lines carves out a shape. This includes such as the valleys and vegetation at the background and gives meaning to the entire art. The perspective used by Leonardo da Vinci gives a reflection of a peaceful environment and community and maybe shows the dominance of humanity or women in society. The application of these skills in creating this masterpiece is a reflection of Leonardo da Vinci’s expertise in art, drawings and architecture that he acquired throughout his professional life since the beginning in Andrea del Verrocchio’s painting studio.
Mona Lisa conventions have always presented and reflected several or a specific scientific principle. In his artwork and pieces, Leonardo’s scientific and world perspective would still stand out as they were part of him. He made discoveries in science, engineering geography, zoology and much more (Vasari, 2019). He was known as a polymath. All these skills in different fields would always be seen in his pieces of art. In Mona Lisa’s case, the perspectives applied to present the world in which the woman was of significant impact on society and determined its survival and existence. The dominance of the image reflects Leonardo’s understanding of the role of the woman in society and how key and central it was. The calm face of Mona Lisa shows that the woman dominates but in a quiet and submissive manner. This represents Leonardo’s understanding of society.
In my opinion, Mona Lisa is a definition of the art industry as a whole. It has existed for centuries and still feels very relevant in the current society. It stresses the importance and role of art in society.
