Mona Lisa
Leonardo's portrait of Lisa Gherardini represents the pinnacle of Renaissance humanism. The enigmatic smile, sfumato technique, and psychological depth create an enduring mystery. The work explores human interiority, consciousness, and the boundaries between art and life. Leonardo's scientific approach to anatomy and optics merges with spiritual contemplation, making this perhaps the most famous painting in history. The landscape background suggests cosmic harmony between humanity and nature.
