Everyone knows about the painting Mona Lisa it is perhaps the most popular art piece in the world. The enigmatic facial expression of Mona Lisa in the painting is still an unresolved mystery. The painting is famous for the techniques used by Leonardo Da Vinci and most importantly Mona Lisa is famous for being stolen from the museum. Why is it named as Mona Lisa? It was a spelling error. The original name of the painting was "Monna Lisa". Monna is a short form of Madonna in Italian, meaning "My Lady". The identity of Mona Lisa is still a mystery. Some people believe that it is the female form of Leonardo Da Vinci himself. But other people believe that the woman was Lisa Gherardini, who was 24 years-old and a mother of two sons.
Don't you ever wonder why Mona Lisa has no eyebrows? It is rumoured that it is because when the authorities were trying to restore the painting. The eyebrows got accidentally removed. Some people believe that Leonardo Da Vinci never completed the painting because he was a consummate perfectionist. Ok, let's move on. Next is about the painting Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh. He was known to be one of the famous and well-renowned painters in the history of art. His works were considered as the works of a genius. Starry Night is one of his work. Some people may ask what features within the painting are responsible for its ever growing popularity.
There is the night sky filled with swirling clouds, stars with their own luminescence, and a bright crescent moon. This is a scene we can all relate to, and also one that most individuals feel comfortable. Below the rolling hills of the horizon lies a small town. There is a peaceful essence flowing from the structures. The center point of the town is the tall steeple of the church. This steeple casts down a sense of stability onto the town. Also creates a sense of size and seclusion. Van Gogh painted Starry Night while in an Asylum at Saint-Remy in 1889.
