The Painting

Mona isa, oil painting ona poplarwood panel by the Italian painter,

draftsman,sculptor,architect,and engineer eonardo da Vinci, probably the

worldsmost famous painting. It was painted sometime between1503 and 1506,when da Vinciwasliving in Florence,and it now hangsin the ouvre,in Paris,

whereit remainsanobject of pilgrimagein the 21st century. The poplar panel

times has beenenormous. TheMona isarevolutionized contemporary portrait

painting. eonardos preliminary drawingsencouraged otherartists tomake

moreand freerstudiesfor their paintingsand stimulated connoisseurs to co l-

lect those drawings. Through the drawings hisMilaneseworksweremade

known to the Florentines. lso, hisreputationand statureasanartist and

thinkerspread to hisfellowartistsand assured for themafreedomofaction

and thought similar to hisown. Onesuch painterwas the young Raphael,who

sketched eonardoswork in progressand adopted the Mona isaformat for

his portraits;it served asa clearmodelfor his Portrait ofMaddalena Do-

ni (c.1506). eonardoeveninfluenced thefashioninwhich artists dressed

theirsubjects. In his Treatiseon Painting, published long after his death, he

wrote that art should avoid thefashion: sfaras possibleavoid the costumes

of yourown day.Costumesofour period should not be depicted unlessit beon

tombstones,so that wemay bespared being laughed at by oursuccessorsfor

themad fashionsofmenand leave beh ind only things that may beadmired for

their dignity and beauty. TheMona isa demonstrates thisaspect of his tre a-

tise perfectly in that a iacondais dressed ina colored shift,loosely pleated

at theneck,instead of the tight clothes that were then popular.
