What is so good or weird about this potrait? People say it carries some kind of message? What is behind the smile?

Her eyes follow you everywhere. That's what I've been hearing. . . but nothing else special  I can see. Just some plump lady siting down to take a pix 

Honestly, I do not know why it got and is still getting so much attention. To me , it is just  a pretty painting. Maybe thats because I am not that esoteric 

The identity of the lady also helped to heighten the intrigue the painting draws. There has been a lot of theories on the identity of the lady in the pic

try and think down to d portrait, it was painted during d renaissance period. i think dat smile is jst a fake smile it doesnt comes from within, pple needed food and to live during dat time and inserting a smile in a painting makes its feels some how and d eyes are lyk in every corner if u look at d picture from every angle d eyes meet u, d eyes and d smile is actually want i think d picture is abt. dats jst my thinking and i think weird sometimes

~I suppose this painting is just one of Life's Enigma. . . i personally dont get what's so special about it. . .The wierd bit is people hardly notice she hasnt got any eye brows on this portrait. . never given much thought to the other aspects peeps consider good/weird about it!

or just a cold a lonely lovely work of art

I think it's about the Renaissance things, that was the era. . . . . . . . . .

the eyes do seem to follow you, I just checked that, very weird.

Is this not how they started some great books covering it with mysticism, some of our painters do better than this yet this picture have been going on since time immemorial. I have studied it inside out and I don't know how, who or where she is from. Maybe someone should enlighten me here.

You can check the wiki page on her.

Btw, dont compare artists and their work unless for research purposes, not petty oneupmanship.

Well, this painting is special because it is one of the paintings painted and completed by the genius Leonardo DaVinci (not many of those around)


I'd suggest u watch DaVinci's Demon to feed your curiosity, it may be fictitious but certainly interesting

its even more explicit than the movie, I ditched the movie 'cos it wasn't as detailed as the book and it even skipped some events... the novel was written by Dan brown . other novels that also festure Robert Langdon includes :angels and demons(about Illuminati), the lost symbol (about Freemasons), and the most recent on e Inferno.... but I think angels and demons is d most interesting

I will surely look for the novel, I also find novels more enjoyable than films, like Angel and Demons I first watched the film but when I read the novel.... I read it like 3 times, it's so sweet that I can feel the sweetness in my mouth
