Description
Sculpture in the round inspired by Leonardo Davinci’s painting ‘the Mona Lisa’.
It is still a matter of debate who is depicted in this painting.
Is it a portrait in which Leonardo himself was a model or is it the image of an unknown lady?
My Mona Lisa is part of the 'Historical Ladies' series.
Although we don't know who Mona Lisa really is, it's a well-known name that is familiar to many people.
Just like the names Cleopatra and Catherine de' Medici. The controversy regarding her identity gives me the basis for the elaboration of this sculpture in the round.
Details sculpture in the round Mona Lisa
So is the Mona Lisa a man or a woman?
In my version of the Mona Lisa, this question is reflected in the pattern of the painting.
One half of the sculpture has a tight geometric pattern, masculine. The other half has a more round, organic pattern, feminine.
This pattern is emphasized by the gold leaf accents.
This wooden statue is made up of two wooden planks pushed together vertically on a wider bottom that provides stability.
The Mona Lisa is an oil painting by Italian artist, inventor, and writer Leonardo da Vinci. It is believed to have been completed around 1506 and features a portrait of a seated woman set against an imaginary landscape. This iconic masterpiece is considered one of the most famous paintings in the world and is also the most valuable12.
The painting’s allure lies in several novel qualities:
- The enigmatic expression of the subject.
- The monumentality of the composition.
- The subtle modeling of forms.
- The atmospheric illusionism that captivates viewers.
Traditionally, it has been thought to depict the Italian noblewoman Lisa del Giocondo. Painted in oil on a white Lombardy poplar panel, the Mona Lisa was never actually given to the Giocondo family by Leonardo himself. Although it was believed to have been completed between 1503 and 1506, there’s a possibility that Leonardo continued working on it as late as 1517.
This remarkable artwork has been on display at the Louvre in Paris since 1797 and has achieved global fame and popularity. Its mystique was further heightened by the 1911 theft by Vincenzo Peruggia, who believed it should belong to Italy. The subsequent recovery in 1914 generated unprecedented publicity for an art theft, inspiring cultural depictions such as the 1915 opera “Mona Lisa,” early 1930s films, and Nat King Cole’s hit song “Mona Lisa” in the 1950s13.
The Mona Lisa’s value is unparalleled, holding the Guinness World Record for the highest known painting insurance valuation in history—$100 million in 1962, equivalent to $1 billion as of 202334.
