The Mona Lisa was made in 1503. it was originally a painting of a woman siting on a balcony flanked by two pillars, but then was changed. the identidy of the woman in the portrait is unknown. you should notice that in the portrait the Mona Lisa's left side is higher than the right, this was not a mistake but a trick to make the Mona Lisa's left side look bigger. you may also notice that she has no wedding ring on, this shows that she was a virtous woman. Also wherever you move the Mona Lisa's eyes seem to follow you. the painting was bout by King François for 4000 ecus. too get her to smile more realistic, Leonardo had people singing funny songs. Leonardo didn't actually paint everything, he didn't paint the backround. while he was painting the Mona Lisa Leonardo decided to start drawing his own face, so the portrait looks like him in feminim form. The painting was actually never finished. The painting is now in the Louvre in France
