Mona Lisa ("Lady Lisa" 2 ) also known as The Gioconda 3 (in Italian , La Gioconda , "the smiling" 4 , in French , La Joconde ) orMona Lisa del Giocondo ("Lady Lisa [wife] of Giocondo" ) is the most notable and well-known work of Leonardo da Vinci , one of the most eminent men of the Renaissance Italian .

His painting was started in 1503 and this is the best work that the artist conceived the technique of sfumato . This represents a woman with an introspective expression and a bit shy. Your smile is very alluring restricted, even if a bit conservative. Your body is the standard of beauty woman in Leonardo's. This picture is probably the most famous portrait in art history, but the most famous and valuable painting from around the world. Few other works of art are so controversial, challenged, valued, praised, celebrated, or reproduced. Many art historians suspected that the reverence of Da Vinci the Mona Lisa had nothing to do with its artistic mastery.According to many claimed was due to something very much deeper: a hidden message in the layers of paint. If you look calmly see that the horizon line that Da Vinci painted is a noticeably lower than the right level, he made ​​Mona Lisa look much larger view of the left that the right wing. Historically, the concepts of male and female are attached to the sides - the left is female, right is male. 5

Oil painting on wood of poplar is exposed in the Louvre in Paris and is one of its biggest attractions. 1

Many art historians believe that the model used for the painting may have been the wife of Francesco del Giocondo , a wealthy silk merchant of Florence and a prominent figure in the government fiorentino. It is also believed that they were neighbors of Leonardo Da Vinci. 12 This view is based on a statement made ​​by Da Vinci during the last years of his life, the purpose of a portrait of a certain Florentine lady done from life at the request of the magnificent Juliano de Medici . The first biographer of Da Vinci, Vasari , also a painter, describes the portrait as that of Mona Lisa , wife of Francesco del Giocondo Florentine gentleman.

The concept of "lesbian," to differentiate women with a shared sexual orientation, is a 20th-century construct. Throughout history, women have not had the same freedom or independence to pursue homosexual relationships as men, but neither have they met the same harsh punishment as homosexual men in some societies. Instead, lesbian relationships have often been regarded as harmless and incomparable to heterosexual ones unless the participants attempted to assert privileges traditionally enjoyed by men. As a result, little in history was documented to give an accurate description of how female homosexuality is expressed. 

When early sexologists in the late 19th century began to categorize and describe homosexual behavior, hampered by a lack of knowledge about homosexuality or women's sexuality, they distinguished lesbians as women who did not adhere to female gender roles and incorrectly designated them mentally ill—a designation which has been reversed in the global scientific community.
