Mona Lisa XXL after Leonardo da Vinci

Overturning the sacred aura of the most mysterious icon of the Renaissance, this bold painting proposes a spicy satire of contemporary beauty standards. The viewer discovers a striking reinvention named “Mona Lisa XXL”, freely inspired by the legendary original portrait executed by the polymath Leonardo da Vinci. The great Tuscan master sublimated Florentine restraint and aristocratic elegance thanks to a modeling of unparalleled softness. The radical physical metamorphosis of the illustrious model violently shakes up historical propriety.

Although the famous misty landscape with steep mountains and the sweet face with the impenetrable smile remain intact, the anatomy of the Mona Lisa has undergone a spectacular upheaval. Gone is the dark and prudish dress delicately hiding her forms. Mona Lisa now exhibits a tanned and bare body, only dressed in a very short, widely open white tank top that struggles to contain a chest that has become particularly opulent. Her right hand carelessly grips the fabric of her top, while her slender waist overhangs a low-rise dark denim pants. This carnal display clashes head-on with the well-known serenity of her facial expression.

The virtuosity of the creator lies in the perfect fusion of the mythical sfumato with the very realistic modeling of this new silhouette. The treatment of the light caressing the epidermis brilliantly imitates the ancient technique while flattering resolutely modern curves. This meticulous execution forcefully celebrates pictorial impertinence.
