The piece of art that I truly captivating is the Mona Lisa. It’s a painting that was created by Leonardo Da Vinci, a famous artist. And I believe you know him. I saw it for the first time in a museum. I don’t remember the name of the museum, sorry. But it was during my trip to Europe. I’m not exactly sure. I was with my friend on the trip and didn’t even know they had a painting in their museum. I saw an enormous crowd and walked by the crowd and looked at this painting. And it was astonishing. When you look at it, you feel like you are touching a piece of story. You look through history and what I like the most about this painting is the details it has and also emotions, like emotions, especially for the century in which it was created. The details are incredible even in our modern world. Not too many artists can draw like that despite all the technical details they have. So this is a really great painting and it gives me more both emotion and depth in a memorable way.
