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.

1. Read the text and answer the questions bellow.
Environmental Protection.
Economists have long thought of the environment as an unlimited source of resources.
For thousands of years people lived in harmony with the environment but with the industrial revolution our negative influence on Nature began to increase.
Large cities with thousands of steaming, polluting factories can be found nowadays all over the world.
The by - products of their activity pollute the air we breathe, the water we drink, the fields where our crops are grown.
There are many consequences of damaging the environment.
One of them is "acid rain".
Cars with their engines and factories have become the main source of air pollution in industrial areas.
When factories send gases and chemicals into the air, they mix and the mixture is carried for hundreds of miles by the wind and finally, it falls back to earth.
This "acid rain" kills fish and trees and slowly it kills everything.
The third problem is damage to wildlife.
Vast forests are cut down in Africa, South America and Asia for the needs of industries in Europe and in the USA.
As a result, some species of animals, birds, fish and plants have disappeared and keep disappearing.
Another problem is damage to water and soils.
Dumping wastes into lakes, rivers, seas and oceans causes water pollution.
Harmful wastes may also get into the soil or drain off fields that have been sprayed with pesticides.
There is another aspect of the environmental problem, the importance and urgency of which steadily grow.
How country disposes of its waste may have a major effect on its future and the future of the world, too.
Recycling waste and rubbish receives ever - greater care in Europe.
Cans, paper and empty bottles and other things we call rubbish are accumulated in every home.
Recycling process has double effect, the other part of it being - saving energy, which would have been necessary for producing new things.
In Russia and the former Soviet republics there are some areas where the environment is in a poor state.
Some of them are the Aral Sea, Lake Baikal, the Kuzbass, Semipalatinsk and Chernobyl.
Cotton growing in the region of the Aral Sea has used huge quantities of water, and the level of the sea has fallen by 14 yards.
For decades nuclear weapons were tested near Semipalatinsk, and the ground is contaminated with radiation there.
More than twenty years ago a pulp - and - paper factory was built on the shore of Lake Baikal.
As a result of the pollution, more than 50 per cent of the world's purest water has been ruined.
The whole ecological system of the lake has changed greatly.
After the disaster in Chernobyl the inhabitants of the nearby towns and villages had to be evacuated.
Some of them died and some became invalids.
Problems of environment are no longer problems of one particular country or one particular region of a country.
One of the most serious environmental problems in large cities in Britain is thick fog, which the British so often have in autumn and in winter.
In London the fog is sometimes so thick that cars run into one another.
For many centuries, during the cold time of the year, the English people used coal in their fireplaces in private houses, though smoke from factories contributed a great deal to the trouble too.
This kind of fog the English people used to call smog.
Unusually thick smog in London in 1962 caused the death of some 4000 people.
A Clean Air Act was passed in 1956, which prohibited the use of open coal fires at homes and in the city area.
Today, many scientists and ordinary people realize that the Earth is in a danger.
Either we stop killing the Earth or we kill ourselves.
The protection of the environment is a universal concern.
Active measures should be taken to create an international system of ecological security.
Some progress has been made in this direction.
Many people belong to Green organizations in countries all over the world.
Groups like "Green Peace" have already helped to stop some animals hunting but there are so many things to be done on our planet and our life on the Earth depends only on ourselves.

The sailor and the monkeys
A ship stopped at the coast of South Africa.
One of the sailors left the ship and went to a town near the coast.
He had some blue caps made of wool in a bag and wanted to sell them in the town.
The sun was hot and the sailor decided to have a rest in the forest.
He sat down under a big tree, took one of the caps out of his bag and put it on his head.
He slept for some time.
When the man woke up, he took his cap off and wanted to put it into his bag with the other caps.
But he saw that there were no caps in it now.
Where were they?
"Where are my caps?
" he cried.
Then the sailor heard a great noise in the trees above his head.
He looked up and saw monkeys, and each monkey had a blue cap on its head!
"Give me back my caps, you monkeys!
" he cried.
But the monkeys didn't listen to him.
They only jumped from tree to tree and made a great noise.
"Give me back my caps!
" he cried again and again.
But nothing helped.
The monkeys only looked at him.
Then the sailor was very angry.
He took off the blue cap, threw it on the ground and cried, "You have taken all my caps!
You can have this cap too!
" The monkeys saw him do that.
Then each monkey took off the cap and threw it on the ground.
The sailor picked up his caps, put them into his bag and went to town.
