Word: Mona Lisa Part of Speech: name Etymology: Borrowed from Italian Monna Lisa (literally “my lady Lisa”), from monna (abbreviation of madonna) + Lisa, the given name of Lisa del Giocondo, née Gherardini (1479–1542). Pronunciation: /ˌməʊnə ˈliːzə/, /ˌmoʊnə ˈlisə/ 1. A portrait painting by Leonardo da Vinci, widely considered to be the most famous painting in history. Labels: with-definite-article Example: For centuries, the Mona Lisa was a relatively obscure painting languishing in the private residences of kings—still a masterpiece, to be sure, but only one among many. Even when it was moved to the Louvre, after the French Revolution, it did not attract as much attention as the works of other artists[…] Example: If one were to ask the rhetorical question as to why one of the two original Mona Lisas has columns, and the other does not, the logical answer is that they are two separate compositions – with certain deliberate similarities, and with certain distinct differences of which only the artist was aware – and never intended to be copies of each other. 2. The subject of the painting, Lisa del Giocondo, née Gherardini (1479–1542). Example: Beltraffio knew that she was a Napoletana, of an ancient family, the daughter of Antonio Gerardini, a grandee who had at one time been wealthy, but who had become ruined during the French invasion of 1495; and the wife of the Florentine citizen, Francesco dell' Giocondo, who had married Mona Lisa after being twice a widower.
