The reason “The Mona Lisa” seems to enchant everyone who lays eyes on her is that the painting itself is so breath-taking and simple. It is the epitome of what true magnificence looks like. The portrait is not of a woman, but merely a beautiful representation of the ideas such as love, hope, and mystery.
