Mona Lisa, also called Portrait of Lisa Gherardini, wife of Francesco del Giocondo, Italian La Gioconda, by Leonardo da Vinci, probably the world’s most famous painting. It was painted sometime between 1503 and 1519, when Leonardo was living in Florence, and it now hangs in the Louvre Museum (Paris),  where it remained an object of pilgrimage in the 21st century.

As explained in class, task 2.3 consists of designing your own "Mona Lisa" from her hands and head. Remember that you have to provide a background too. You can find more examples in Aula Virtual.
