impressive
Change of meaning
The painting we chose from our group was the Mona Lisa/Gioconda as we went think it would be fun to play with this painting
since with his smile and eyes blurred (sfumato technique) makes it a very enigmatic and unknowable painting specifically its
meaning although there are many suggestions that say it is smiling The Mona Lisa is significant because of the way it was
created. Leonardo da Vinci incorporated a pioneering technique into painting, integrating an imaginary landscape and using
aerial perspective. The Mona Lisa is seated in an open space, with a curtain of background of mountains, bridges and non-
specific winding roads, the painting reflects the idea of Leonardo of the cosmic link that connects humanity and nature,
making this painting a lasting record of Leonardo's vision.

In the edition we made we wanted to make the Mona Lisa the center of attention
placing her in the painting of La última cena since in this painting the main character
is Jesus (a man) putting a female figure in the role of Jesus I wanted to bring the
women's movement so that you are, as I said earlier, the center of attention.

Secondly, we liked that people could think about it when we look at the photo that happened
if jesus had been a woman, what a revolution he could have created, i have also placed some people taking pictures as
nowadays everyone takes pictures at works of art without knowing they are there behind or simply because they are "famous"
basically we wanted to make theirs meaning have a feminist twist and with the a version that almost never passes the woman
as someone really important not simply a portrait for your man, finally at the back I have placed the Louvre museum to identify
where these two works of art are currently
impressive.

YOU
