The Mona Lisa has never been called the most beautiful woman by anyone in art circles. Nor is it famous because of that. And it is most definitely not overrated when it comes to painting technique.

The real timeless nature of the Mona Lisa and the hype over it is because of a number of reasons.

• The artist himself is legendary; Leonardo Da Vinci is a remarkable man. Everyone wants a piece of him, still.
• The techniques used in the paint were the fore-runners of more contemporary techniques of painting. That is a large influence.
• The who mystique as to the identity of the subject is another reason why its so continuously studied.
• Its generated so much interest over the years that its just famous you know? Like just for the hell of it. She’s timeless.

I did not specify why it was over-rated for a reason.

I did not say it was over-rated for being the most beautiful woman.

No matter what one says, including so called technique…it was/is over-rated.

BTW it was also considered that her ‘smile’ is the reason for being ‘unique’
