Mona Lisa
This piece was created in 1503-1506. You could see this famous painting in the Musee de Louvre, Paris. I think that this piece is interesting because she has no eyebrows or eyelashes. The reason it is so significant is because it is unclear to whether or not she is smiling, and it is also rumored that she had eyebrows but they were painted on so lightly that the wore off. This painting relates to humanism because it shows the human being with no religion.
Was educated in Latin, geometry, and mathematics
