Directions: Answer the questions below in at least 3 complete sentences.

One of the world's most famous paintings is the Mona Lisa by the versatile Italian artist and scientist Leonardo da Vinci. Her mysterious half smile has intrigued viewers for genterations. Some believe she is Lisa La Gioconda, a banker's wife. The artist was so attached to this work that he kept it all his life.
