finally someone who apreciates mona lisa,i dont want to go too far but mona lisa might be the best piece of art in history,besides that i am very atracted to you and it has nothing to do with the money you can afford for mona lisa,its all platonic

@Oportunist
Uuuh, that's minus you know.

I'd sacrifice tony the tiger, the lucky charms leprechaun, captain crunch, and that corn rooster thing for it

what is particular about Mona Lisa is that Leonardo da Vinci transcended in this painting certain codes of portraiture in his time, and that we can consider him as visionary: Mona Lisa smiles, while most portraits (even the lady with the ermine by Leonardo da Vinci), do not smile, because the portrait was a sort of formality for the time, each noble or bourgeois family allowed it, it could have different uses, the portraits were or for use private and displayed in the rooms, or public, in this case with other portraits of family members, which served for guests to discover their host's entire family. in the case of Mona Lisa, we are on a painting for private purposes, which partly explains her smile. I think that in his sketches Leonard hesitated between a large format allegorical representation and this portrait. the landscape is represented with more detail, and more surprisingly, Mona Lisa has no accessories, contrary to the codes of the time, which gives a very refined and anti-formalist composition. I think there is an allegorical or even divinatory side to this painting.

I would not purchase this painting, like I would not purchase modern so called art, such as a massive canvas with a red blob in the middle, supposedly representing anger or some other garbage they come up with.
It's given value by rich people buying it, then sold on and on forever as an investment, honestly what a load of vile nonsense. :).

50 000 that I got from the other thread.

I would give nothing. If you own that painting, a lot of people will come out of the woodwork looking for money. Not to mention the amount of thieves looking for it.
