The work titled Mona Lisa (painted between 1503 and 1505), by the renowned Italian (actually Florentine) artist Leonardo da Vinci, represented a turning point in the history of portraiture. Da Vinci linked the monumentality of a personage before a landscape with a virtuoso rendering of flesh tones. It is said that the figure is Lisa Gherardini, wife of a Florentine cloth merchant named Francesco del Geherardini. For this reason, it is also known as La Giraconda. The enigmatic smile is said to be a symbol/representation of happiness.
