Art History.

Okay. One of the most famous paintings known to man.
Everyone, even kids in the third grade could tell you the name of this painting probably.
And today I found something out that bothered me.

Nobody actually knows who this "Mona Lisa" is.
What the fuck?
Some think shes actually just a self portrait of Leonardo as a woman.
Some think she was a girlfriend since the poor guy never got married.

He got credited with one of his many masterpieces and what nobody thought
"Hey Leo man..."
[that 70s show?]
anyway...Leo man, whose the chick in the painting.

How sad it must have been. After she died. She was just...
The girl in the painting.
But before that she was a real person ya know.
I dont know, im just rambling and it kind of made me a little depressed that she was always just going to be the girl Leonardo da Vinci painted.
Not really known for being beautiful, besides her gnarly hidden teeth, just the painted girl.
Fuck it.
