We then delve into the woman's identity depicted in the painting, Lisa Gherardini, and the various theories surrounding her. The painting's artistic traits, the science behind Mona Lisa's elusive smile, and the discovery of another possible version of the painting are also discussed.

I finally feel satisfied that the genius of Leonardo da Vinci is being recognised. He was not only a painter, but is also considered the greatest intellect in human history. I would suggest the book 'Mastery' from Robert Greene who has covered a great part of his history and how he developed his intellect.

Dhruv Rathee, I think we all would really love it if you made the video on the life of Da Vinci. And maybe even start a series on the lives of such minds.

Hey Dhruv! I've been following your educational videos for a while now and I'm continually impressed by your ability to shed light on fascinating and often overlooked topics. I recently came across the Gunaa Cave in Kodaikanal, and its rich history and mysterious aura instantly caught my attention. I believe a video exploring the cave's significance, its legends, and the cultural and geological aspects surrounding it would be both informative and captivating for your audience. Your insightful analysis and research skills would undoubtedly do justice to unraveling the mysteries of this intriguing landmark. I hope you'll consider adding it to your list of video topics! Keep up the fantastic work!

The Mona Lisa, to me, is the greatest emotional painting ever done. The way the smile flickers makes it a work of both art and science, because Leonardo understood optics, and the muscles of the lips, and how light strikes the eye - all of it goes into making the Mona Lisa's smile so mysterious and elusive.

I'm a beloved fan of the subject of Art.
I have watched many videos on the subject of the Mona Lisa.
But, this one is truly satisfying.
No mystery, no fiction, no conspiracy theories, only facts of history.
This episode is deeply studied, masterclass analysed and keenly presented.

Once again hats off to the team Dhruv Rathee. Keep it up.

Leonardo really studied different subjects just for a painting, what a man dude.

[zishanshaikh]

Last point was the most important point...when I visited Paris...our guide told us that french people don't like Mona Lisa as it overshadows the great art pieces in the Museum and it is only popular because it was stolen
