Monna Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci
The landscapeof the background of the most enigmatic painting by Leonardo Da Vinci 'La Gioconda' belongs to the land of Arezzo.
Mona Lisa is one of the first portraitsrepresenting a subject in front of a landscape. this has been seen by many people imaginary but another school of thought believes that, by analyzing the background of the Monna Lisa, you may notice that the Mona Lisa is sitting next to a porch, and you can see the railing and the bases of 2 side columns. Analyzing elements in the background, we could say that the real landscape that served as background of the painting is located in Arezzo.
The background is a very precise area of Tuscany, that is where river Arno bathes the countryside of Arezzo and receives the waters of the River Chiana. There is a particularly clear on the right of the Mona Lisa over her shoulder, and is a low bridge, with arches, bridges ancient Romanesque humpbacked bridge Buriano identical to that frames this day the river Arno which was built in the mid-1200.
Leonardo had studied the reservoir of the Val di Chiana and he knew the area. Not far from the bridge you enter the river Chiana hive and go back the waters exceed many twists and then you forward into a gorge, Gorge Pratantico. If you look at the left side of the Mona Lisa, you see a course which water maze that you forward in a narrow gorge. But the coincidences do not end here: the mountains to the left of the Mona Lisa, are vertical, sharp, actually, after the bridge, toward the old Via Cassia, you go to an area where you see the Calanques, the strange rock formations, eroded rains and millennia. Leonardo must have been very impressed by everything to get and capture a landscape so special and interesting behind an equally enigmatic and mysterious face.
