The story
She has been looked at more than any other painting on earth, and she still will not quite resolve. Leonardo worked on her for years and never delivered her, carrying the panel with him to France; the softness that makes her famous is sfumato, glaze upon glaze of translucent paint until the edges of her mouth and eyes dissolve into shadow and the expression becomes whatever you bring to it. Behind her, a wild imagined landscape of winding water and blue mountain recedes into haze. Strip away the fame and the theft and the bulletproof glass, and what remains is astonishing: a living presence, turned toward you, caught mid-thought.
