Do you know the story of Leonardo Da Vinci and Mona Lisa del Giocondo or the Joconde ? It’s a very beautiful love story.
In 1503, Mona Lisa’s husband asked the great painter to paint his young wife. Leonardo painted Mona Lisa during about 3 years and they felt in love. She was about 24 years old and he was 51 years old but they did not say or confess this love to each other.
It was an impossible love. She was married and mother. One day, Leonardo left Mona Lisa keeping the picture with him. He brought then the picture when he went to France invited by the French king Francis 1. So, when Leonardo died in 1519, the Joconde remained in France.
On this picture, Mona Lisa is smiling with her heart. Otherwise, Mona Lisa looked like the mother of Leonardo when she was young. So, Leonardo painted also the look of his mother. This smile is a sort of smile expressing or showing a universal love: the smile of a woman in love and also the smile of a mother for her child.
It’s a smile of love, tenderness or loveliness, sweet and deep. It’s the reason why so many people are attracted by the Joconde or attracted by her smile or look.
If you go to France, you can visit the last residence of Leonardo da Vinci: The chateau du Clos-Lucé with the very beautiful park near the town of Tours.
Leonardo da Vinci spent the last three years of his life at Clos Lucé, at the invitation of the King of France, Francis I, and here he devoted himself to perfecting his inventions, before he died on 2 May 1519.
You can visit his bedroom, his kitchen, his study, the Renaissance halls, the chapel with its frescoes painted by his pupils as well as 40 of his inventions on the themes of military engineering, town planning, mechanics, flying machines and hydraulics.
Leonardo’s Garden – Leonardo and Nature, created with the assistance of top researchers and scientists. For the first time, in a landscaped natural site, the Château du Clos Lucé brings to life Leonardo da Vinci’s botanical drawings, geological and hydrodynamic studies and landscapes.
