We can also have seen a lot of paintings like The School of Athens, Primavera, Birth of Venus and more others, but in this class we have talked a lot about The Mona Lisa or Gioconda. The teacher have explained us that Leonarado Da Vinci, the man who paint this painting, had a pupil or partner who also painted a Mona Lisa but a little bit different, this one were more clear and have more different details.
