This painting was painted by Italian genius Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), who died about five hundred years ago. His painting is still one of the most important and most inspiring sources of inspiration for artists of all disciplines and orientations.
Leonardo is believed to have started this painting in 1500 and because of his fascination of it, lasted about four years until it was ended in 1504. The mysterious woman, whose smile is in the painting, became a purely feminine symbol that won the admiration of the world. Her smile became a wide controversy until it became a mysterious secret. And all researchers tried to find an explanation for it.
Even one of the Italian researchers, Jesip Balante, spent 25 years searching for the identity of the woman. He went out with a paper pointed out by the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph that the picture was the wife of a friend of Leonardo da Vinci's father. He was a silk merchant named Sir Francesco del Giocondo, From Lisa Giardini, so some researchers refer to the launch of the name of the Gioconda on the painting attributed to the belonging to the family of Giokondo.

The painting is not signed, nor dated, nor bears any information about its subject or the person who imagined it like the rest of the paintings of its era; all this opened the door to the imagination go where you want ...
