Pissed off Russian Throws Cup at Mona Lisa

er, well, da vinci was also showing his feminist side through the painting. the background on the left side [the woman's side] is higher then the right side [the man's side]. he was sending a message that women should not be suppressed, that they are, in fact, in some ways more competent than men.

the smile is also a large part of the painting. in that time period, most people who wanted portraits wore their sternest faces and painters would make them prettier than they were in proportion to the money the family would pay.

we don't know who the model for the mona lisa was, and we don't know if she was a client or a grab from the street because da vinci was inspired by her, but either he asked her to smile or she smiled and thus we have the mysterious smile that says 'i know something you don't know.' also, da vinci most likely painted her much closer to her actual appearance than any other portrait from this time period.

just some reasons why the mona lisa might be considered the 'citizen kane' of painting in its contemporary time.

Well seeing that you're obviously Russian, it would explain why you would say such a thing.

I probably would've laughed and given her 50 bucks. I think the Mona Lisa is an incredibly overrated piece of artwork, and would not be affected by its destruction in any way other than mild entertainment.

What the hell's so captivating about her smile? She looks like she has Down's syndrome to me.

Da Vinci Was amazing if others had the technology ,he could have worked wonders for world. Im sorry but thats not okay, that is really not okay . she should get executed (if she had harmed it). but since she didn't she should get life sentence . (yes im being dramatic and taking it to an extreme)

It's an old painting of a fat, ugly b*tch and I hope it burns.

Thank you.

Da vinci took 4 years out of his life to create that work of art , its practically a national symbol to italians, Wickerman . since you obviously have no understanding of art im not going to bother convincing you.

so anyone who doesn't think the Mona Lisa is a treasure to humanity doesn't understand art?

LOL

tell me, what are your thoughts on Mapplethorpe's "Portfolio X"? or Serrano's "A History of Sex"?

So? Takes me like an hour to shit sometimes. Doesn't mean what comes out is a work of art (although it is).

So what if it's a national symbol? It's still a picture of a fat, ugly woman. You've proven only that you're a mindless cog.

I was being facetious 😂 but yeah, do you think it's a self portrait? I do.

I'm sorry, since when is not "understanding" art considered more despisable than wanting to kill someone for destroying a work of art?
