LEONARDO DA VINCI
Everything you should know about Leonardo da Vinci and the Mona Lisa
It’s the most famous work of art on the planet.
The Mona Lisa is also known
as La Gioconda.
Leonardo da Vinci painted it between 1503 and 1506.
We know that the
painting was special to Leonardo because he spent so long working on it.
In one of
his notebooks he wrote, “Tell me, tell me, has one ever finished anything?
”
Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci (his full name) was born in 1452, the son of a
lawyer in the Tuscan town of Vinci.
He didn’t have a classical education but became
an apprentice in the studio of painter and sculptor Andrea Verrocchio.
He spent 13
years there, learning and working with other important painters such as Sandro
Botticelli.
He was a vegetarian.
Apart from being an artist, Leonardo was an engineer, inventor and
philosopher.
He also loved geology, anatomy and astronomy.
As a scientist, he was
ahead of his time.
He died in France in 1519, aged 67.
We don’t have any final proof of the identity of the woman in the painting.
Most people agree that it is a portrait of Mona Lisa, who married Francesco di
Bartolomeo di Zanoli del Giocondo in 1495.
The title La Gioconda comes from his
last name.
There have been theories that the portrait is of Leonardo’s vision of an ideal
woman or of an adolescent boy dressed as a woman or even a self - portrait.
It was painted on a thin backing of wood, which is now extremely fragile.
This
is why it is preserved behind a glass case.
The painting was acquired by François I of France.
He knew Leonardo when
the painter lived in France.
The painting remained in French royal collections from the beginning of the
16th century to the creation of the Central Arts Museum at the Louvre in 1793.
63
The Mona Lisa was stolen from the Louvre on 21 August, 1911.
An Italian
painter, Vincenzo Peruggia, stole it to return it to its country of origin.
It was found
almost two years later.
Since then, the painting has left France on two occasions : in 1963 to the United
States and in 1974 to Japan.
The painting was welcomed in both countries like a
visiting film star.
President John F Kennedy opened the Mona Lisa exhibition at the National
Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, saying, “This painting is the second lady that the
people of France have sent to the United States and, though she will not stay with us
as long as the Statue of Liberty, our appreciation is equally great.
”
The Mona Lisa is housed at the Louvre in Paris.
2. What can you remember?

31. Read the text about the Monsters of the Sea?
31. Read the text about the Monsters of the Sea.
People have always been afraid of sharks.
Films like “Jaws” have shown them as monsters.
But now these animals are in danger, like many others.
In recent years, shark meat has become a popular food in America.
Too much fishing has begun to reduce the numbers of some kinds of shark.
Some people say this is a good thing.
Sharks kill about twenty - five people a year near the world’s beaches.
Are we going to help sharks, or are they going to become extinct?
It’s hard to solve the sharks’ “image” problem and change people’s minds about them.
Sharks are hunters and so they naturally kill.
But actually elephants kill more people than sharks every year – and every–one likes elephants.
Sharks are very important for the world’s oceans.
They eat unhealthy fish and keep the numbers of different kinds of sea animals in balance.
Now scientists are trying to find way to protect these animals.
They have been in the oceans for 350 million years.
Perhaps they can survive a little longer.

A) Films have shown sharks as monsters.
True False
B) Sharks are in less danger than others.
True False
C) Shark meat has become a popular food only in Canada.
