35. Mona Lisa



La Gioconda. 

According to Wikipedia – “Visitors spend about 15 seconds viewing the Mona Lisa.

Leonardo was commissioned to paint Lisa by her husband, Francesco del Giocondo.  He painted it around 1504, and then fussed over it for the next ten years or so.  (I did this in a couple of hours ferchrissakes).  After he died, he left it to his assistant.  The Giocondos never got their painting!

Da Vinci – what a bum.
