2. Sample article

I would consider myself as an art person, I have seen so many stunning paintings. But the stand out for me is Mona Lisa, which is an immaculate painting by Leonardo Da Vinci who is an internationally acclaimed painter. He became synonymous with many paintings that perfectly capture the essence of the Renaissance. But his signature work of art is, hands down, Mona Lisa.

I came across the painting for the first time a few months back at a local art gallery near my home. It was merely a replica of Mona Lisa. It couldn’t do justice to the original masterpiece. Nevertheless I was deeply moved by the painting.

The painting appears stunning. The colors are mainly dark shades that emit a melancholic atmosphere. And the center of attention is a woman with an enigmatic smile. For centuries, many scholars have attempted to interpret the meaning behind that smile.

And as for my emotional response to the artwork, as I mentioned, I haven't had the chance to see the original version myself. But upon viewing its reproduction, I was completely captivated. And I hope that in the future, I can admire the authentic Mona Lisa.
