Perhaps the most famous painting. Surely. But you might not know the real story behind why it was created. If you care, do read on. If you don't, then you're missing out, but I get it, art is somewhat dull (for those who haven't convinced themself of the opposite.) And I'm not talking about the story of the wife of the wealthy silk merchant from Florence or that it took the best part of two decades for Leonardo da Vinci to (not even) finish the work, which never ended up with the family anyway. Or the story of how it was stolen in the early 20th century, starting its skyrocketing fame, about which a not-worldwide-famous-yet Picasso was interrogated. No. This story is way more fascinating than any of those, by now, surface-level facts about the painting. You might not want to believe the reality I'm about to present, but it is just that, and I'll keep it short, so you have all the time you'll need to get that information settled. The Mona Lisa is a labor-of-love (for its personal importance) landscape hidden behind a self-portrait of a significantly pregnant Da Vinci. And that's all.

Ik heb de meeste musea in Nederland bezocht, maar dit is verreweg de beste—veel kunst, en een unieke en intieme setting. Als je Den Bosch bezoekt, zou ik een bezoek zeker aanraden.

Makkelijke schilderijen

Ms Bee

Ik was terughoudend om het schilderen weer op te pakken, maar dit heeft me enorm geïnspireerd. De kleuren zijn levendig en het proces was zo ontspannend. Mijn nieuwe schilderij staat prachtig in mijn woonkamer! Als je op zoek bent naar mooie, toegankelijke kunst, dan heb je de juiste plek gevonden.

Ik zat volledig vast qua inspiratie totdat ik Zen ontdekte. De collectie wakkerde mijn creativiteit aan als nooit tevoren. De kwaliteit van de kunst is uitzonderlijk, en ik ben ontzettend blij met mijn aankoop. Ik raad het ten zeerste aan voor elke kunstenaar die op zoek is naar unieke en inspirerende stukken.
