MonaLisa is a 16thcentury portrait① painted by Leonardo da Vinci during the Italian Renaissance(文艺复兴), which now is under the care of② Louvre in Paris.It is perhaps the most famous painting in the world.But who was the heroine③ and what is the story behind the mysterious④ smile?
Its identity⑤ remains uncertain.Some researchers say that she was the widowed (寡居的)Duchess of Milan.Others say it is possible that she was Mona Lisa Gherardini, the third wife of the wealthy silk merchant⑥ Francesco.
The smile of Mona Lisa has kept people guessing.Someone says that the smile originated from⑦ Leonardo da Vinci’s mother, Caterina.Others say the smile is quite simple because women were taught to smile so as to add an air of mystery and elegance⑧ at that time.The truth is that this style of smile was not invented by Leonardo da Vinci.It can be found in a number of sculptures from the 15th century.
No one knows the truth behind this famous painting except Leonardo da Vinci himself, but people are so fond of it and would enjoy guessing.
《蒙娜丽莎》这幅画闻名世界,画中的人物是谁?为什么她的微笑吸引了无数人的猜想?
