Life of Monalisa
Most people think of famous paintings when it comes to thinking of famous paintings. While Van Gogh and Picasso come to mind first, one of the most well-known paintings ever is also Mona Lisa; its enigmatic smile and mesmerizing gaze have captured people for centuries – even inspiring songs and movies!
Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa is an iconic half-length portrait of a woman by Leonardo da Vinci that remains an enigma to scholars, but many speculate she was part of Florence and Tuscany’s Gherardini family, with scholars believing she may have belonged to La Gioconda or La Joconde being more appropriate names for it. Over the centuries it has inspired legends, debates, and even lawsuits due to its contentious history.
Over the years, this painting has withstood multiple attempts at destruction and vandalism. In 1956, an attempt was made to cut it with a razor blade and steal it; later a rock hit its glass case causing further damage by dislodging pigment near her left elbow and dislodging one spot near its edge. Finally it was moved into a climate controlled climate proof case for additional security against potential attacks in later years.

Conclusions

In particular they investigated whether an asymmetric smile activated upper face muscles used for genuine smiles (known as Duchenne smile).
