In years of hearing/ reading explanation of Mon Lisa, I've not heard this level of detail. Thank you so much.

It was truly enlightening.

... and I will follow up on others from this site...

... i spent my educational life learning the sciences but always mourned my lack of arts knowledge ....

.... the real joy of DU is never knowing what I may find here...

... it's wonderful people who post not just their political thoughts but share their passions and interests with the rest of us....

thanks Uncle Joe for this one.....

Didn’t expect it to end in a visual anatomy lesson, but delighted that it did, so interesting.
What a brilliant man he was.

In art school we studied various types of producing artwork. I copied the Mona Lisa uses glazes (also Vermeer) and it was so easy. My teacher was so right. It's the only way to go for me.
