Why is the Mona Lisa so famous?
Vincenzo Peruggia took a painting off the wall and slid down the back stairs of the Louvre on August 21, 1911, as dawn broke over Paris. He was just a few steps away from freedom when he ran into a two-pronged issue: There were approaching footsteps as the door was locked. The "Mona Lisa" by Leonardo da Vinci was tucked under Peruggia's arm. It is currently regarded as the most famous painting in the world. But how did it get to where it is today? The portrait is said to have been started by Leonardo in 1503, when a Florentine businessman asked for a portrait of his wife, Lisa Gherardini. Leonardo worked on the painting for more than a decade, but when he died, it was not finished. Leonardo da Vinci was a pioneer in a number of artistic techniques thanks to his ground-breaking research on human optics over the course of his lifetime. The "Mona Lisa" depicts some of them. Utilizing "air point of view," he made pictures at more noteworthy distances hazier, creating the deception of significant profundity. Additionally, he used the technique known as "sfumato" to create subtle color gradations that softened the edges of the forms he depicted. Although all of this is striking, is it sufficient to make the "Mona Lisa" the most well-known painting in the world? It is regarded as an exceptional Renaissance portrait by many academics, but it is only one of many. Additionally, great artwork can be found throughout history. In point of fact, most of the factors that contributed to the "Mona Lisa's" rise to worldwide fame were outside of the canvas. After Leonardo's death, King François the First of France purchased the painting and began displaying it. After that, in 1550, the well-known biography of Italian Renaissance artists, including Leonardo, was written by the Italian scholar Giorgio Vasari. The book, which was translated and sold a lot, described the "Mona Lisa" as if it were a dreamlike representation of life. The "Mona Lisa" evolved into one of the French Royal Collection's most coveted pieces over time. It was initially displayed for the general public in the Louvre Museum before hanging in Napoleon's bedroom. The once-private treasures of the deposed aristocracy were a popular attraction for tourists there. A number of European academics in the 1800s increased the "Mona Lisa"'s popularity by focusing heavily on its allure. Alfred Dumesnil stated in 1854 that the smile on the Mona Lisa evoked a "treacherous attraction." After a year, Théophile Gautier composed of her "taunting lips" and "look encouraging obscure delights." In addition, Walter Pater described the Mona Lisa in 1869 as the epitome of timeless femininity. The portrait was a well-known piece in one of the world's most famous museums by the 20th century. However, the "Mona Lisa" was not yet well-known. It was Peruggia's 1911 heist that assisted it with soaring to uncommon distinction. It wasn't entirely out of the question that Peruggia would be imprisoned inside the Louvre because he had been contracted to create protective cases for the museum. Additionally, Peruggia was fortunate in that a worker who saw him in the stairwell simply assisted Peruggia in opening the door and allowed him to leave for the day. The theft made news around the world. The empty space where the "Mona Lisa" used to be displayed drew a crowd of people. Because Peruggia had worked at the Louvre, the police interviewed him, but they never considered him a suspect. In the meantime, they questioned Pablo Picasso regarding his connection to a previous robbery at the Louvre, but in the end, they let him go. After smuggling the "Mona Lisa" to Italy and making arrangements to sell it to a Florentine art dealer, Peruggia kept the painting in a false bottom suitcase for two years. Peruggia viewed himself as an Italian patriot who was returning the work of an old master. However, he was immediately detained, not celebrated as such. The "Mona Lisa" was put back on display in front of large crowds after the mystery was solved, and newspapers celebrated the success of the story. In the next many years, reasonable craftsman Marcel Duchamp derided it; It was pursued by Nazi art thieves; About it, Nat King Cole sang; and it was attacked by museum visitors with teacups, paint, stones, and paintbrushes. Over 500 years after its creation — eyebrows and eyelashes since a long time ago blurred — the "Mona Lisa" is safeguarded by an impenetrable, tremor safe case. It now stands as a reminder of how we create and maintain celebrity, rather than as an outstanding Renaissance portrait.

The science of falling in love
The emotions of love can range from heartwarming to heartbreaking. So, what does it have to do with the brain? Everything! A symphony of neurochemicals and brain systems guides the journey from the initial spark to the final tear. You may find yourself obsessing over them and wanting to spend more and more time together as you begin to fall in love. This first phase of adoration is what clinicians call fascination, or energetic love. When it comes to the brain, your new relationship can almost feel like a high, and that's not far from the truth. The ventral tegmental area is more active in infatuated individuals. The VTA is the brain's reward-processing and motivation hub. It fires when you eat a sweet treat, drink water, or, in more extreme cases, use drugs. Dopamine, a neurotransmitter that makes you feel good, is released during activation, teaching your brain to repeat actions in anticipation of receiving the same initial reward. Love is not only euphoric but also draws you toward your new partner due to this increased VTA activity. It might be hard to see any flaws in your new perfect partner at first. Love's influence on higher cortical brain regions is the cause of this haze. The prefrontal cortex, the brain's cognitive center, shows decreased activity in some newly infatuated people. It shouldn't come as a surprise that we tend to see new relationships through rose-colored glasses because activating this region enables us to engage in critical thought and make judgments. While this first phase of affection can be a serious rollercoaster of feelings and mind action, it commonly just endures a couple of months, clearing a path for the more dependable phase of affection, known as connection, or merciful love. Two hormones, in large part, may make you feel more relaxed and committed to your partner as your relationship develops: vasopressin and oxytocin. Known as pair-holding chemicals, they signal trust, sensations of social help and connection. In this way, romantic love is similar to other types of love because these hormones help families and friendships become stronger. Additionally, oxytocin has the ability to prevent the production of stress hormones, which is why spending time with a loved one can be so therapeutic. It is possible for early love to give way to a deeper connection and a more sincere understanding as the judgment-free quality of the love fades. On the other hand, issues in your relationship may become more apparent as your rose-colored glasses begin to fade. We can attribute the emotional anguish that comes with heartbreak to the brain, regardless of the cause of the breakup. The insular cortex is a part of the brain that processes both physical and social pain, like spraining your ankle or feeling rejected, when a breakup causes distress. You might start daydreaming about or yearning for contact with your ex-partner once more as the days go by. Like a severe hunger or thirst, the desire to help others may feel overwhelming. Heartbroken individuals exhibit increased activity in the VTA, the motivation and reward center that drove feelings of longing during the initial stages of the relationship, when they look at photos of a former partner. You may also feel shaken and restless as a result of this emotional whirlwind activating your body's stress axis. Over the long haul, higher cortical areas which administer thinking and drive control, can slow down this misery and hankering flagging. It is not surprising that the first heartbreak can be particularly painful because these regions are still maturing and forming connections throughout adolescence. Dopamine, a neurotransmitter that makes us feel good, can be used to control this heartbreak stress response through activities like exercise, spending time with friends, or even listening to your favorite song. And even the most devastating heartbreaks can be healed and learned from with time and support.
