I think that “Mona Lisa”is a masterpiece that embodies the idea of "human love". The reasons are as follows.
　I believe that the work integrates at least four loving models: Lisa del Giocondo (Lisa Maria de Gherardini), Gian Giacomo Caprotti (Salai), the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ (Salvator Mundi). If you look closely, you can see the initials of each of these four people in the painting.
　The actual models are Riza and Salai. The right half of the body is Sarai and the left half is Riza. The letter 'LV' in the right eye means Leonardo, while the letter 'B' in the left eye probably means the 'B' of Bartolomeo, Riza's husband.
　The two bridges also indicate the Virgin Mary's initials (M), and the 'L2' on the bridge probably refers to 'Luke 2 of the Gospel according to Luke'.
　I think the winding road is a mirror letter, indicating the initials (S) of Jesus Christ (Salvator Mundi). Incidentally, if you look at this part of the picture in the mirror, you can see something like a "chalice".
　In other words, the painting is a fusion of two models, Sarai and Riza, who were filled with real love, superimposed on the symbols of charity, Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary respectively.

Hi Jay! Thank you! Are there any paintings you are particularly interested in?

[@zoobee]

there are so many paintings that I feel fascinated by! the most famous art of Manet, the Dora Maar portraits by Picasso, Matisse's 'The Dance', I could love to learn more about what made Van Gogh so special, the great moods of Turner, reclining nude by Modigliani, and also, always to learn more of the great renaissance painters, Titian, Caravvagio, the Dutch masters and the Spanish too. Really I am an amateur who is fascinated by art and your style is very good for insights into what makes paintings great. The Starry Night, for example, the movement in the sky represents how the stars are never still, Van Gogh captured and foregrounded movement, evanescence, behind what seems like stillness didn't he? Thank you for replying :) and thanks for the vids :)

Much evidence has suggested that Da Vinci had painted a second Mona Lisa, hence the fascination with the Isleworth portrait.

Could you imagine being the guy who accidently removed her eyebrows while cleaning the painting!? 😲 I would have fainted.
