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 position mostly turns towards the viewer. 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.
