It's the mysteriously serene smile of this painting's subject – thought to be Lisa Gherardini, the wife of a Florentine fabric merchant – that has given it universal fame. The portrait's small size – it measures 77 x 53 cm – can still be a surprise to those jostling for a glimpse of it, but it is the earliest Italian portrait to focus so closely on the sitter in a half-length portrait.
You missed tis one out
Where is the Goya?
Makes this button seem needlessly threatening
Botticelli, Munch, Van Goch, Rembrandt.
Never particularly liked Rembrandt paintings in reproduction, print etc. But understood why he is so rated when I saw actual paintings in the National Gallery. Something magical in the brushwork! Same for Michelangelo's works which are much better in the flesh, so to speak!

Love this art 💙
Wonderful, but great art of other cultures is equally deserving, of being seen, happy the The Great Wave is included and glad this artwork is moved around so we all have a chance to see them at some time. .
Breathtaking 😍
I've seen them now. Thanks.
Finally, after several months, an uplifting and good op-ed piece from the Indy even if most of these paintings are like the classic FM 'hall of fame'. Please get back bringing the masses quality curated information like this.
