mona lisa after a week in the us.
the mona lisa was one of leonardo's favourite paintings, and he carried it with him until he died. today, it is regarded as the most famous painting in the world, and is visited by many thousands of people every year. who is this familiar figure? many suggestions have been made, but the most likely candidate is lisa gherardini, the wife of a florentine silk merchant. another more unlikely - but popular - theory is that the painting was a self portrait. there are certainly similarities between the facial features of the mona lisa and of the artist's self portrait painted many years later. could this be why leonardo gave the subject such an enigmatic smile?
leonardo da vinci's mona lisa has been recreated in australia - out of 3,604 cups of coffee and 564 pints of milk. the different colours were created by adding no, little or lots of milk to each cup of black coffee, reports the daily telegraph. it took a team of eight people three hours to complete the 20ft by 13ft artwork for the rocks aroma festival in sydney. elaine kelly, from the sydney harbour foreshore authority which organised the one-day coffee-lovers event, was delighted with the result. she said: "each coffee cup was filled with varying amounts of milk to create the different sepia shades of the painting. "we wanted to create an element of surprise and a sense of fun in the way we engaged with the public. "once we had the idea of creating an image out of coffee cups we searched for something iconic to reproduce - and opted for the most iconic painting in history. "the mona lisa has been reproduced so many times in so many different mediums but, as far as we know, never out of coffee. the result was fantastic." source
the mona lisa has come under attack from a russian woman who hurled a cup at the world-famous portrait. leonardo da vinci's masterpiece was completely unscathed, as the ceramic mug smashed on bullet-proof glass surrounding the painting. the incident happened on 2 august and the woman was arrested, said a spokesman for the louvre museum in paris, which houses the artwork. paris police said the woman was taken to a psychiatric ward afterwards. "it looks like it was done by someone who was unhinged and wanted to draw attention to herself," a louvre spokesman was quoted as saying by the afp news agency. the louvre, the biggest art museum in the world, has thousands of paintings, but its star attraction is the mona lisa, known in france as la joconde. the 500-year-old portrait was stolen in 1911, but returned to the louvre after an italian was arrested for its theft two years later. it was doused with acid by a vandal in 1956 and later the same year a bolivian damaged it again by throwing a stone at it. source
