I have no idea what it means, or what it's importance is, but I can't deny how important it is as a work of art. I don't even know who made it. It is shown below. Any comments?

Leonardo di Vinci. I don't know what it means either, but it's beautiful. |

This has been used for so many spoofs in pop culture as well. |

Likely because it is one fine piece of art. |

There's this 'fact' about the Mona Lisa that I keep hearing, and I heard it again last night: Around 90% of all visitors to the Louvre go straight to the queue to see the Mona Lisa, then spend three minutes looking at it, and then leave the museum. I have no idea whether that's true, but if it is, then I think it's very sad .

I enjoy this painting more than Lisa because it's more interesting. |

That's nice, but I don't think I've heard of it before. How did you hear of it, and do you know much about it? |

It's just another portrait of a lady. I recall an ermine being a symbol of purity because of its nature. It's more interesting I think because of the animal and where the lady is gazing and there's actually color. Lisa is just looking forward doing nothing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_with_an_Ermine Edited by Giselle, May 25 2014, 08:23 PM.

If the Mona Lisa wasn't as iconic as it is, do you think as a painting it would receive any extra attention? |

Davinci is pretty significant, I don't think much would change. |
