In fact, it was the gradual breakthrough development of 18th century painting in the color and shape that created the conditions for the birth of the 19th century Impressionist paintings.

The mystery of the Mona Lisa Background

University of California Professor Carlo Pedretti thinks that, the background behind Mona Lisa came from the landscape in Bristol Arnold Bridge located in Arezzo city, central Italy. This is based on that Da Vinci was born in Vinci town which was about 100 kilometers away from Arezzo and he once lived there, in addition, the original landscape of this region was exactly the same as the background of Mona Lisa. Therefore, Da Vinci was likely to adopt the pastoral scenery of this region as the background of the Mona Lisa. When this view of Pedretti was announced in the International Symposium of Da Vinci Painting, many art history experts agreed with it.

Paintings of Leonardo da Vinci: Remarkable and Unrivalled

The work is presumed to be started in 1495 while Leonardo da Vinci completed it in 1498. In order to find the most proper face that fits each apostle, Leonardo spent large amount of time observing people in the market. As a result, in The Last Supper reproduction, every apostle appears to act like a real person.
