One wonders if the impact is imparted not by the piece, then, but by the room. There are elements of physical texture and contrast present in physical works, but is the difference between the Mona Lisa and a high-quality print of the Mona Lisa the brushstrokes, or that one is in the Louvre?
- eternalban 6y agoSince it is painted in oil by Leonardo, yes, it is the brush strokes. "Mona Lisa, the precious legacy of Leonardo da Vinci, represents a zenith of methodological innovations in painting. How the painter managed to obtain such delicacy of the tonal transitions still occupies the mind of contemporary art researchers. Based on published results of scientific analyses performed on the painting and relying on historical sources, a copy of the painting was made using materials that were identical or at least equivalent to the ones Leonardo used. This paper is an effort to provide an idea of the built-up of the paint layers at various stages as the painting evolved. The author discusses the detailed and painstaking method used by the painter at each step of the creation of the painting to obtain sfumato effect." https://journals.openedition.org/ceroart/3828 https://journals.openedition.org/ceroart/3828
- scotty79 6y agoFunny how Mona Lisa barely interested anybody before it was stolen and press widely reported on that. https://www.npr.org/2011/07/30/138800110/the-theft-that-made-the-mona-lisa-a-masterpiece?t=1615720745395 https://www.npr.org/2011/07/30/138800110/the-theft-that-made... Today we'd say she went viral after that for no good reason.
