(Click on the Mona Lisa Painting - GREAT LINK)Mona Lisa, or La Gioconda (La Joconde), is a 16th century oil painting on poplar wood by Leonardo da Vinci and is one of the most famous paintings in Western art history. Few other works of art are as romanticized, celebrated, or reproduced. It is owned by the French government and hangs in the Musée du Louvre in Paris.
The painting shows a woman looking out at the viewer with what is described as an "enigmatic smile".
