The enigmatic smile says it all. Has there been any proof of the true identity of Monalisa? For all we know, all remain theories up to now. Different angles are seen :Da Vinci is being accused of being gay; Monalisa represents the Yin and Yang; the painting is actually the self-portrait of the painter. However, there have been speculations that Monalisa is indeed Monalisa, a lady from one of the upper classes during the Rennaissance period. Well, I better get my facts straight. Be getting some links to prove. Hold on peeps! =)))

The same importance as studying any history.  You study history to try and predict the future.

These two fundamental reasons for studying history underlie more specific and quite diverse uses of history in our own lives. History well told is beautiful. Many of the historians who most appeal to the general reading public know the importance of dramatic and skillful writing—as well as of accuracy. Biography and military history appeal in part because of the tales they contain. History as art and entertainment serves a real purpose, on aesthetic grounds but also on the level of human understanding. Stories well done are stories that reveal how people and societies have actually functioned, and they prompt thoughts about the human experience in other times and places. The same aesthetic and humanistic goals inspire people to immerse themselves in efforts to reconstruct quite remote pasts, far removed from immediate, present-day utility. Exploring what historians sometimes call the "pastness of the past"—the ways people in distant ages constructed their lives—involves a sense of beauty and excitement, and ultimately another perspective on human life and society.

To judge it.\n\nHistory comes from the latin word Histor, which means wise man or judge.\n\nMy role in history is to know it and judge how it affects me and my environment.\n\nAnd the reason for this is that the future doesn't have any meaning if it doesn't have a past.

well you know why Jesus is called the bread of life? not only breaking himself for or sins but for birth place. that is why Christians pay more attention to the bible then paintings. that is why many people are so involved in the DI Vince code because they are not grounded in the Truth.

No, it was an important aspect of the overall story.  There was a need to explain how the Republic collapsed and the Empire rose. It also showed the brilliance and patience of Palpatine and how he was able to undermine an institution that stood for a thousand years.  It bridged the gap between the past and the future.  It was very essential.

da vinci code is a novel written by the famous author dan brown. he states in his book that jesus was married to mary magdalene and their bloodline is still existing in the world. he also states that the holy grail is not a cup but was the code name of mary magdalene. the most important theme of the book is the most famous artist(all-rounder infact!)leonardo da vinci has shown this in most of his paintings including "the last supper".though it is work of fiction, many christian communities are against this bcoz according 2 them it is blasphemous.but the book is really good.sorry for the looooong explanation though.bye!

No, The Author made it seem as if he researched this book properly, but most of it is made up, even the parts were he claims that such-and-such records really do exist, ...they don't. The big stretch comes with his interpretation of the Mona Lisa and the Last Supper Paintings.\nThe Mona List is NOT a self-portrait, Most Art historians agree that the Mona Lisa is a portrait of the daughter of a rich patron. Her smile can be described because Da Vici, at the age he painted the Mona Lisa was considered a handsome man who also happened to be gay. ...so not so much smile as chagrin.\n\nThe idea that the John in the last supper is Mary is completely wrong especially if you compare other rendering of John the Apostle, (both were he is assumed and SPECIFICALLY LABELED) All which depict John as a boy with no facial hair.

Very little... \n\nIt is consistantly regarded that the "Mary" next to Jesus in "The Last Supper" is John, who was constantly portrayed as affemenant during the reformation.  There is virtually no evidence to support the fact that Jesus had offspring, nor is there any reason to believe that there is anything significant hidden in the works of Da Vinci...\n\nBut it really is a heckuva lot of fun to think about.

Life is not only about spouting facts and doing paperwork. It is also about creativity (we wouldn't have anything without people being creative/inventive). Not only that, but Art provides additional support, emphasis, and reinforcement for certain essential skills used in core academics: observation, attention to detail, visual-perceptual skills, hand-eye coordination, patience, etc.\n\nIt is a very important part of education, and should be included in every school.

Supposedly in his (painting The last supper) where John is it was actually Marry Magdalene, and in the Mona Lisa according to Brown she is smiling because she knows a secret about Mary Magdalene.

Because women are beautiful works of art.  All, well almost all, should be cherished.
