二、阅读理解
(一)
Leonardo da Vinci began painting the Mona Lisa in 1503. An Italian businessman asked Da Vinci to paint a picture of the businessman' s second wife. This is the woman who can be seen in the Mona Lisa. The Mona Lisa is a very good example of Da Vinci' s works.
Da Vinci loved Science and Maths. A person can easily see that there is a lot of geometry (几何) in the Mona Lisa. The face of Mona Lisa is made of many circles and round shapes like balls. Even her smile can be seen as a small part of a large circle.
The woman in the painting is sitting on a balcony(阳台). Her head is turned to look out of the painting. Her hands are held together in front of her. This way of sitting is now used by many artists when they are painting a picture of a man or woman today.
