Reminds me of Mona Lisa

Possibly one of the most famous paintings in the world, the portrait of the Mona Lisa is referred to as simply the Mona Lisa, La Joconde, or La Gioconda. It is an oil on board painting that is 77cm high and 53cm wide. It is thought that the portrait is the wife of the wealthy socialite Francesco del Giocondo, Lisa Gherardini.

The portrait has been written about and discussed in countless books and publications. Artists and more recently film makers have also produced derivative works from the Mona Lisa. Artists like Andy Warhol and Marcel Duchamp produced works inspired by the painting. The film starring Julia Robert called the "Mona Lisa Smile" and the popular novel by Dan Brown titled "The da Vinci Code" were also influenced by the Mona Lisa.

The Mona Lisa hangs in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France and is visited by thousands of tourists every year.

THAT reminds me of some HS report on a painting, "written"* by some "scourge" of the boards.
