She never Lost Her Smile
"Mona Lisa" is nearly 500 years old, but her charming smile continues to captivate art audiences worldwide. What's the deal behind the smile anyhow? Thanks to the students of Bronx High School and their partners in Borlange Sweden "Why is the Mona Lisa Smiling?" has been developed to give art enthusiasts a better understanding of the history behind the painting. Was Leonardo da Vinci inspired by a model, or was he painting himself? Decide for yourself at /13681/data/davin2.shtml where you can check out multimedia exhibits, take an online quiz or simply gaze into Mona's eyes. Read up on the scientific theories behind the painting and watch as photo manipulation puts "Mona Lisa" into a new perspective. The Da Vinci Dispatch has the latest on the artist's exhibits, including an upcoming display in Victoria, British Columbia. Its time to learn more about Leonardo. Don't forget to smile back when you meet Mona!
