Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa has always, in her artistically depicted grace, represented a symbol of beauty and self-assurance for women throughout all ages of human history.
The creation of the painting began in 1503 and took about four years to complete. Da Vinci painted the portrait on commission from Francesco del Giocondo, a wealthy Florentine merchant.
The artist employed innovative techniques such as "sfumato," creating soft transitions between light and shadow, and aimed for a realistic portrayal with a unique smile. The background with misty landscape elements gives the painting a mysterious atmosphere.
Throughout the creation of this masterpiece, Da Vinci constantly refined details, particularly the captivating smile of the Mona Lisa. The painting became a pinnacle of Renaissance art and is now one of the most famous works of art in the world.

The evolution of art is a fascinating reflection of changing societies, cultures, and technologies.
An outstanding example of this evolution is the Mona Lisa, created in 1503 during the height of the Renaissance. This era was characterized by a revival of art and science, with artists like Leonardo da Vinci striving for realism, perspective, and anatomical accuracy.
In the 17th century, the Baroque period brought forth dramatic effects, emotional expressions, and opulent depictions. Artists like Caravaggio influenced this era with their masterful works. The 18th-century Rococo, on the other hand, was characterized by lightness, playfulness, and a preference for the decorative, a clear departure from the Baroque. Entering the late 18th century, Romanticism emerged, emphasized by artists who focused on emotions, nature, and the fantastical. Caspar David Friedrich is an exemplary Romantic painter whose works are permeated with deep emotion.
The mid to late 19th century marked the Realism movement, an era in which artists like Gustave Courbet aimed to portray real life authentically and without embellishment. These endeavors continued in the late 19th-century Impressionism, where artists like Claude Monet and Edgar Degas emphasized the perception of light and color, often through loose brushstrokes.
The early 20th century brought forth Cubism, a movement characterized by the fragmentation of forms and perspectives, led by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. Amidst World War I, Dadaism emerged as an avant-garde movement that emphasized the absurd and rejected traditions. The 1920s gave rise to Surrealism, in which artists like Salvador Dalí and René Magritte explored the unconscious, dreams, and the supernatural.
Perhaps the most radical change occurred in the 1950s and 1960s with the advent of Pop Art. Artists like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein integrated elements of popular culture and used mass production techniques. Art became vibrant, ironic, and consumer-oriented, representing a critical reflection of society.
This fascinating journey through art history demonstrates how artists responded to social, cultural, and technological changes over time. From the classical beauty of the Renaissance to the critical reflection of Pop Art, art reflects the diversity and transformation of human experience.

An initiative in Self-Assurance and Health Awareness: I'm self-confident. Empower your Confidence! Prioritize your Health!
About 13 out of 100 women will experience breast cancer during their lifetime. The "pink ribbon" MonaLiza from the MonaLizaArtClub serves as a symbol for all women who, despite their serious illness, maintain their pride and grace, helping themselves to overcome cancer.
The "pink ribbon" MonaLiza emphasizes self-assurance and self-love by encouraging women to be conscious of their health. The message is clear: self-confidence also means taking care of health.
The goal of our project is to raise awareness about health in general, and specifically, to raise awareness about breast cancer and encourage all women to proactively promote their own health.
The "pink ribbon" MonaLiza aims to provide assistance in harnessing the positive energy of self-confidence, whether as a reflection of an own fate or as a companion in the personal environment.
With our project "I'm Self-Confident" as part of the MonaLizaArtCollection, we visually illustrate the lifetime risk of developing breast cancer by creating 225 unique "pink ribbon" MonaLizas that complement our MonaLizaArtCollection. They precisely reflect the risk from both groups combined, namely
(1503 + 225) * 0.13 = 225.
A portion of the project proceeds goes to local breast cancer campaigns in Germany.
