[Music]
let’s go to the painting area
okay
[Music]
sarah stop and look at her
mona lisa
tell me about her
it’s an oil painting by artist leonardo
da vinci
it has been believed to have been
painted between 1503 and 1506
the mona lisa is now one of the most
valuable paintings in the world
how much sarah
it holds the guinness world record for
the highest known insurance evaluation
in history at 100 million dollars in
[Music]
i guess it must be more expensive now
who is mona lisa
is she real or is she a character
the model is lisa de giacondo
she was a member of the garadini family
and the wife of a wealthy silk merchant
i heard mona lisa was stolen many times
yes it was stolen in 1911 by a louvre
employee
during the second world war the painting
was stolen again
[Music]
now mona lisa is owned by the french
government
and now she’s here
yes the lower part of the painting was
damaged when a person poured acid on it
and a young man threw a stone at it
how could they treat a painting like
that i don’t know
maybe because it’s so famous
today the mona lisa is considered the
most famous painting in the world
a destination painting
when you’re too famous there will always
be two forces around you
fans and anti-fans
so are paintings so are people
mona lisa created controversy for a
while
i heard about that
looking into her eyes you’ll see a lot
of joy
optimism
love of life
but looking at her mouth and lips
it seems she’s strangely serious
but also smiling
it’s a mystery
how do you feel
i don’t know
what do you see in this painting
you come here to meet her like this tell
me something about her
you want to hear from me
yes of course
i see a lovely chubby lady her eyebrows
are a bit pale with no lipstick
i guess she forgot to put on mascara and
no makeup before drawing
you’re so funny i think in the past
girls didn’t wear much makeup
her hands are cute she is the lady of a
rich family who’s pampered
in short
i see a gentle and beautiful woman
so funny
art is not what you see but what you
make others see edgar dega a french
artist said
yeah
i think it depends on the viewers visual
feelings

this museum
