The Louvre receives a filmn star's fan mail for Mona. Somre people write ta her as if she,, were a ïiving persan. Many young, and ardent students dedi- este poetry to ber. Adoration of the Mona Lisa has been going on for more thaný 400 years, ever since the timie in Florenice, about 1500, that Leon- arda da Vinci, theri aged fît ty, received a visit fromi the city's magistrate, Fýrancesco di Bartol1- omeo del Gioconda. He askýed Leonardo ta paint a portrait o! bis wife in an attempt ta console her for thýe loss of a littie cdaugh- ter. The artist was reluctant. Hie iîd not paint portraits and lie wias very busy. But lie changed his mind the momnent's he saw N the magistrate's wife.

But if was niot mérely a portrait o! the wife o!e a Florent- tine magistrat e thaf hie bought, MQna Lisa bad becone an ides! image off beauty. An Italian art historian wrote:ý "At nie and thec sameý tirne,, gent le and perverse, cruel and comrpassionafe, graciaus and È-~ line, she srniles." Many people have attempted ta salve the mystery a! tbe Mon. Lisa smile. Every day th* Louvre permits artists ta copy the treasure, confident thata perfect ïmitaffon is impossible. Sbortly atter da Vinei's death, the Florentine Ymasters o! bis school believed that by unveil- ing the Mona Lisa they would rob bier of ber secret Sa they painted the miiaistrate's wife in the nude. Dozens of these pictures wer- painted and sixteen are in exist- ence to-day, but nat, even the,ý best-in a mnuseumi at Chantilly -bas succeeded in revealing the secret o! the magnretism of da Vinci's masterpiece. The Marquis de Sado1 said of bier: "The Cioconda is the veryv essence of femininity; she showvs réticence and spirit of seducýtion, de-Voted fenderness and avid sensualify." Whatever she bas, Mona Lisa certainly i mpr e s ses taurists. When viewingý any other pictureý in the Louvre they comment freely.
