Read the following text and answer the questions: THE MONA LISA Mona Lisa (also known as La Gioconda or La Joconde , or Portrait of Lisa Gherardini, wife of Francesco del Giocondo ) is a portrait by the Florentine artist Leonardo da Vinci. It is a painting in oil on a poplar panel, completed circa 1503-1519. It is on permanent display at the Musée du Louvre in Paris.
7. The painting is a half-length portrait and depicts a seated woman (probably Lisa del Giocondo) whose facial expression is frequently described as enigmatic. The ambiguity of the subject's expression, the monumentality of the composition, and the subtle modeling of forms and atmospheric illusionism were novel qualities that have contributed to the continuing fascination and study of the work. The image is so widely recognised, caricatured, and sought out by visitors to the Louvre that it is considered the most famous painting in the world
8. Answer the questions about the reading: -When was The Mona Lisa completed? -Where is this painting displayed? -How is her facial expression described? -Why is it considered the most important painting?
