la gioconda


   
     
       
      
     
     
       
     
     
       
     
   

        
      
         portrait of mona lisa (1479-1528), also known as la gioconda, the wife of francesco del giocondo; 1503-06 (150 kb); oil on wood, 77 x 53 cm (30 x 20 7/8 in); musee du louvre, paris 
      

         this figure of a woman, dressed in the florentine fashion of her day and seated in a visionary, mountainous landscape, is a remarkable instance of leonardo's sfumato technique of soft, heavily shaded modeling.
