The Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci
The Mona Lisa by Leonard da Vinci is probably the most famous painting of all time. Should it be? In your opinion, does it live up to the hype?
I think the real question isn't whether the Mona Lisa should be the most famous painting in the world, but why it is so. Surely, there aren't enough reasons to say why one good painting is better than another. There are just two kinds of artworks, which are good and which are bad. No more than that. The special importance that a painting could have is determined by the mythology that the art world creates around it; arguably, one can even say that some feelings that an artwork causes in its public (consider the conceptual art) respond to the same reason. The people rush into the Louvre as the people rush into a church that guard a special and saint object. What there are looking for isn't the painting with its real features, but the mythical irrational story that the painting embodies. Walter Benjamin, the German philosopher, talked about the "Aura" of the objects of art, with that term he signified the unique presence of the object, the Aura resides in the impossibility that an artwork has to be reproduced exactly the same. Even in the best copy there is something missing. The Mona Lisa is probably the most reproduced image in the world, but the people still peregrinate to the original. When we love something, we want its presence, its Aura. But, where does the fascination with the Mona Lisa come from? There should a lot of historical events that transfigured a simple portrait into an iconic image. It's this web of little facts which push the people towards the Mona Lisa. Now, when discussing its importance, we just add fuel to the fire.
The Mona Lisa live up to the hype, as long as the expectations are to see a simple painting. There is less possibility of fascination when something is deformed by the burden of exaggerated claims about itself.
