THE CORRECT ANSWER: Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci is one of the most emblematic figures of the Italian Renaissance, perfectly embodying the ideal of universal man. Painter, sculptor, architect, anatomist and engineer of genius, he left an indelible mark in the history of art and science. His most famous masterpiece, The Mona Lisa, was made in the early sixteenth century. This oil painting on poplar wood panel is known worldwide for the enigmatic smile of the model and the perfect mastery of the sfumato technique. This artistic process consists of superimposing very thin layers of paint to blur the contours and create extremely smooth transitions between shadow and light. Exhibited at the Louvre Museum in Paris, the Mona Lisa attracts millions of visitors every year to admire this absolute icon of Western painting.
