Top Comments : [Vox] How the Mona Lisa became so overrated

ji****:

If she hadn't farted while she was being painted, the "smirk" never would have happened

Sc*****:

Plot twist:

Yoshikage Kira was the one who actually stole the Mona Lisa.

Ja***********:

I remember when I went to Paris and visited the louvre and saw the Mona Lisa, and a bunch of people were talking pictures and it was like you saw it and that was it, interestingly now though the louvre doesn't pay insurance on the painting, they just pay millions of dollars on hand on guards which was actually cheaper than the insurance lol

An************:

80%?! whoa!!

Le*************:

I'm offended.

Mi*********:

It's just another example of how meaning that we take as absolute because it's been the same our entire lives usually has mundane and arbitrary origins, typically not befitting the pedestal we've placed the thoughts on.

in**********************:

Did you know that x-ray technology has revealed there are 3 other versions of the Mona Lisa painted underneath.

Os***:

Goes to show how artificial scarcity makes things more desirable then they really should be.

am*********:

They absolutely fail to mention that it might be a sly veil at a self-portrait of the artist himself. More importantly the background is so completely bizarre for the time period. If you block the subject everything else you see is wildly abstract. Something that wasn't done at that time. Space and time are somehow meshed together and it looks like something painted 200 years later. I don't like this theory of this painting but there's so much to read into the Mona Lisa; It's a ground breaking work, as it should be.

Fo**************:

So basically it's because she went missing

Ty***********:

The Mona Lisa is very well painted, but it isn't visually interesting or "creative" or unique

mi****:

"... there's one more ermine."
now THAT'S my kind of art critic

Jo****:

I’ve always felt the painting suffered for its lack of ermines.

Ah************:

It is great news that I wouldn't have to explain anymore the confusion I am experiencing on why it is great. phew...

Ri**********:

When I visited the Louvre at the age of ten, there were a bunch of paintings better than the Mona Lisa like the one ahead of it. All just stared at the Mona Lisa.
Why? I still wonder..

Ro***********:

The more I read comments on Youtube, the more I fear for future.
May human civilisation survive our current idea of "democracy".

Ma************:

When I saw it at the Louvre, I thought it was a great painting...but really it was more about the awe of being near the most famous painting in the world.

Ia******:

When you enter the hall of mona lisa on a calm day you are greeted by a plain looking wall. On this wall you see a big bulletproof casket with a rather small painting inside. It's a special moment but after all you've seen it a thousand times already online.

after a few seconds of taking in the moment, you turn around.

then you are greeted by large masterpieces filled with detail and meaning. beautiful pieces of art, yet only covered by a red lint.

mi***:

i used to believe as a kid that the reason why Mona Lisa is popular is because she had no eyebrow

J*:

I remember my Art Professor. I told him the painting is ok. Like any other painting. He did not accept it because of some bullshit.

la****:

I was much more struck by the crowds gawking at it in the Louvre, than I was by the painting itself.

Al***:

Absence makes the 'Art' grow fonder - in people's imagination of what they're missing out on, and then they get to see it, echo the proclamation of its press writers.

Funny how our perception of art is often dependent on 'experts' view on what is beautiful and refine about it.

th*******:

The Mona Lisa was the VERY first painting that had someone smiling.

JD**:

So the Mona Lisa can be considered overrated but an entirely white canvas isn't? Okay then

Da********:

Finally. An explanation that makes sense to me. Mona Lisa is one of least interesting paintings I have ever bothered to see, yet people keep talking about how she smiles, how beautiful she is (huh?) and how brilliant the triangles on the background are. The triangles on the background!

6E*******:

Fun fact: after the theft of the Mona Lisa, a popular joke in France went, "I'm going o the Louvre. Can I pick up something for you?"

Pi*****************:

shows you that art is subjective and just a popular game. JUST LIKE YOUTUBE CHANNELS.

Ti*********:

Da vinki?

Mi***************:

DA VINKI?!?!

CJ*:

Da Vinki?

Wo******:

This video was incredibly eye opening thank you for making this

fl***:

da vinky?

yo*******************:

That's a cool story but i'd replace the word overrated with overhyped. Media coverage indeed made the painting more famous than it needed to be. But it's a bloody damn great painting. And i know so not because i've read critics' explanations of light and shadow this and composition that but because i have my own eyes. This is undeniably a magnetic image. It simply has the exact recipe for drawing the spectator in and that recipe was masterfully executed. I am absolutely certain that anyone who gives a crap about art, visuals, or simply things that look good will agree that this painting is something else, even among leonardo's fantastic array of works.
But it's definitely overhyped with people claiming there are sectet messages in there, often the painting is even said to be connected to the illuminati and whatnot. Basically there have been a ton of conspiracies around mona lisa for centuries which perpetuated the hype more and more.
But there's no doubt the painting itself deserves all the praise it has received.

Ti*******:

It might be a little overrated yes, but that painting means a lot.
It shows some techniques that were new for that time, some of these created by Da Vinci himself.
Like "sfumato leonardesco" ( sorry I have no idea how it's called in English), which was a brand new technique for blurring and creating shadows, also to make the main character stand out (that wasn't common in art till that moment).
Plus, this painting shows perfectly what was considered the new purpose of art: to capture a moment and stop it forever.
There's no iconography, no Mary with baby, but a real person watching you forever.
Mona Lisa might not be outstanding nowadays, it's just a small painting similar to many others from those years, right?
But if you think about it, those other paintings wouldn't be there without Mona Lisa.

Mi**************:

The Mona Lisa first became famous in the very early 1500s. It was the most realistic head anybody had ever seen. Until Leonardo, the Florentines painted in a linear manner, essentially filling in the colour between the outlines, rather like a colouring book with a little form modelling. Leonardo softened all the edges and created the illusion of 3-dimensional form and atmosphere. Her smile, by the way, is a pun on her name. Leonardo loved puns and used them in several of his paintings. Mona Lisa's name was Lisa Gioconda, and giocando, in Italian, means playful or happy; hence the famous smile. However, this video is absolutely correct about the way that the painting was brought into the layperson's life from the 20th century onwards. Bravo!!
