Temperatures finally dropping for fall in Texas mean I can finally break out some of my longer sleeves; allow me to show off possibly my favorite:

I once wore this to a doctor's appointment, and the doc (who has ADHD like myself) stopped mid-sentence halfway through the visit and said "wait, is that the Mona Lisa as a cat?"

Amazing Jiro and Students

The city of Kawasaki, Japan holds an annual Halloween parade. Now I may be late to this (4 years to be exact) but once I saw this I had to write about it. The Amazing Jiro who is a face and body make-up artist and six of his students took part in the parade as pieces of artwork. These famous artworks included Pablo Picasso’s The Weeping Woman, Vincent van Gogh’s Self-portrait, Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, just to name a few. They also won the Pumpkin Award which is the main prize for the event as well, and you can see why. Being able to bring art alive in a whole new way and looks stunning.

La obra de arte más decepcionante del mundo.

De hecho, muchos visitantes del Louvre se sienten decepcionados cuando se encuentran en mi presencia.

Cada día vienen a verme unas 30.000 personas, casi 10 millones en un año. Hacen largas colas sólo para una foto o un selfie. Tienen expectativas muy altas: después de todo, lo sabemos, ¡son el cuadro más famoso del mundo! Luego, cuando se encuentran frente a mí, tan pequeños, abrumados por toda esta multitud de fans, se van diciendo que yo no era tanto después de todo...

Los entiendo, pobrecitos.

Simplemente son ignorantes, en el sentido de que ignoran mi historia.

En primer lugar no son un cuadro, sino una TABLETA. Una tablilla de álamo de tan solo 77X53 cm. Quizás quién sabe lo que esperabas. Mi padre, Ser Leonardo Da Vinci, comenzó a pintarme en Florencia en 1503, borrando otro cuadro que estaba debajo de mí.

Represento el retrato de Lisa Gherardini.

De hecho también me llaman la MONNA LISA.

Monna es el diminutivo de "Madonna", la palabra latina "Mea domina", mi señora. Lisa era la esposa de Francesco del Giocondo. Por eso mi nombre es Gioconda, porque fui su esposa, no porque sonría feliz.

Pero Leonardo nunca me vendió.

De hecho siempre me llevaba con él, me adoraba, yo era su cuadro favorito. Me retocaba constantemente. De hecho, como dice Vasari, soy "IMPERFECTO", nunca he estado terminado, ¿lo sabías?

Estaba en el dormitorio con él en Amboise, Francia, cuando Leonardo murió en 1519. ¡NUNCA fui robado por los franceses! Pero comprada regularmente por el rey de Francia Francisco I, que era un gran admirador mío. Así que cada vez que vosotros, los italianos, decís a los franceses: ¡Devuélvenos la Mona Lisa!

¡Mi casa está aquí, en París!

Con el tiempo me robaron, me desfiguraron, tiraron mi pintura. Duchamp me puso bigote, Andy Warhol me hizo pop, Botero gordito, Banksy un muyahidín con lanzacohetes. Soy un ícono moderno, una estrella o más bien una verdadera súper estrella.

Y hay muchos secretos que se esconden en mí.

A partir de mi misteriosa sonrisa.

Algunos dicen que sonrío porque Leonardo, mientras me pintaba, llamó a músicos y payasos para entretenerme. Otros, como Dan Brown en su Código Da Vinci, afirman que soy la versión femenina del propio Leonardo. Freud dijo que yo era un querido recuerdo de infancia de Leonardo, tal vez su madre.

¡Todas tonterías!

Sonrío, porque cuando os veo llegar a todos sin aliento delante de mí, en este turismo de masas apresurado e ignorante, sin contemplación, veo vuestras caras decepcionadas y comprendo que no habéis entendido NADA de mí. ¡Por eso sigo y seré para siempre la imagen más bella del mundo!

Mona Lisa (1503-1517) 🎨 Leonardo da Vinci 🏛️ The Louvre 📍 Paris, France

One of the most iconic and recognizable paintings in the world is the Mona Lisa (ca. 1503-1519) painted by Leonardo da Vinci. The unique appeal of the portrait lies in its enigmatic nature, Mona Lisa’s smile radiates mystery, sensuality and contentment. This was achieved through sfumato, Leonardo’s painting technique that softened the transition between colors. This depth and complexity of expression is the reason the Mona Lisa is regarded as the pinnacle of portraiture. The interest in the portrait was further amplified by its mysterious history: the identity of the sitter, who commissioned the painting, how long Leonardo worked on the portrait and how it entered the French royal collection are all topics of scholarly debate.

It is thought that the sitter was Lisa del Giocondo, the wife of a wealthy Florentine merchant Francesco del Giocondo. For this reason, the painting is sometimes called La Gioconda. The earliest identification of the painting was provided by the Renaissance art historian Giorgio Vasari. In Vasari’s 1550 biography of Leonardo, he wrote about the magnificent portrait of Lisa del Giocondo, which Leonardo worked on between 1503 and 1506. Many were skeptical of Vasari’s account; however, a 2005 discovery at the University of Heidelberg provided compelling new evidence that confirms Vasari’s assertion. In a volume written by the ancient philosopher Cicero from 1477, there was a handwritten marginal by Leonardo’s contemporary, the secretary and assistant to Niccolò Machiavelli, Agostino Vespucci. In the note dated October 1503, Vespucci praises Leonardo’s skill by comparing him to the Greek and painter Apelles, and states that Leonardo is working on a portrait of Lisa del Giacondo.

The Mona Lisa was the earliest example in Italian portraiture that portrayed the sitter in a half-length format. Leonardo presented a new artistic formula: the figure is shown at half-length sitting in armchair in front of a loggia - a gallery or room with one or more open sides. The incorporation of the loggia allowed Leonardo to present an imaginary landscape as the backdrop of the portrait. This significant innovation influenced Leonardo contemporaries: Raphael adopted the composition and pose in his portrait Young Woman with Unicorn (ca. 1506). Still it is important to note that Leonardo was indebted to Flemish portraiture of the second half of the 15th century, particularly the portraits of Hans Memling such as Portrait of Barbara van Vlaendenbergh (ca. 1470-1472) and Man with a Roman coin (ca. 1480).

Leonardo spent his final years in France, where his patron the King of France, Francis I, purchased Mona Lisa for the royal French collection. From 1797, the portrait is on permanent display at the Louvre and is the crown jewel of the museum collection. On the morning of August 22 1911, Louvre employees were shocked to discover that the painting was stolen the previous night. Two years later, Louvre employee Vincenzo Peruggia was identified as the thief. Peruggia claimed his motives were patriotic: he believed Leonardo’s masterpiece belonged in Italy and was caught trying to sell the painting in Florence. After its discovery, the Mona Lisa was exhibited throughout Italy before its celebratory return to the Louvre in 1914.

would submitting a famous painting like "The Starry Night" by Vincent van Gogh and/or "Mona Lisa" by Leonardo da Vinci count as a submission (/hj genuinely curious about this and it would be hilarious)

Yes, you should submit these because I think that's an amazing idea
