The portrait titled “Giocondo” is believed to be of the wife of Italian businessman and merchant Francesco del Giocondo. You less educated dilettantes may know it as the “Mona Lisa,” by a painter I like to call Leonardo da Vinci. It has been hung in The Louvre behind bullet proof glass for many years.
Get it? I made it sound like the French executed a woman. Hah, fooled you! Okay, so it’s a cheesy joke not worthy of one as intellectually gifted as myself. YOU try being clever every day. It’s a free site. Give me a courtesy chuckle and move along!
Whew! Tough crowd.
