Mona Lisa, Leonardo Da Vinci (1503)
The Mona Lisa painting is believed to depict Lisa del Giocondo, an Italian noblewoman. It’s said that Leonardo was commissioned to paint her to mark a special occasion; however, instead of delivering the painting as promised, he kept it for the rest of his life. Today, historians still debate why he chose to do this.

#7 It is the depiction of their wedding, wich happend to be in Brügge. A medieval onlooker would see a lot of information in the details:
- The dog stands for loyalty
- The glass windows and the peaches on the windowsill stand for wealth
- the weird wood shoes are called Trippe and saveguard its wearer before the feces on the streets.
- Its a marriage to the 'Left Hand' (her left in his right), means she is from lower social origin
- He raises his right hand for the marriage oath
- The weird Mirror is called 'Hexe' (witch) and if you look closely you will find two persons entring the room. One of them is the painter himself.
- The writing above says 'Jannis van Eyck fuit hic', means Jan van Eyck was here.
Conclusion: The Painting is merely a document of a marriage.
- The dog stands for loyalty
- The glass windows and the peaches on the windowsill stand for wealth
