The Mona Lisa is widely considered the greatest portrait of all time. It appears in countless advertisements, has inspired poetry, sculpture, forgeries, and theft. But seriously, why? The painting is small, only 30 x 21 inches, the color is somber, the background seems desolate and eerie, and the subject isn't anyone historically significant. So, what is all the brouhaha about? Is it really all about her mystifying gaze and a quirkly smile? Well, let's take a closer look.

Mona lisa, Mona Lisa, men have named you
You're so like the lady with the mystic smile.
Is it only 'cause you're lonely they have blamed you
For that mona lisa strangeness in your smile?

Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa,
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm, are you real, Mona Lisa,
Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art?

great
I saw it in Paris, and have seen photos hundreds of times, but never noticed the incorect background. I can only conclude that this is becouse the face captivates.
