The Intriguing（迷人的）Mona Lisa
Maybe she's smiling because she found the secret to immortality(不朽）．The painting Mona Lisa currently hangs in the Louvre Museum（卢浮宫博物馆)in Paris。

It is set behind a wall of bulletproof glass and watched over by armed guards。

The sitter’s enigmatic smile(神秘的微笑）is just one of the mysteries that historians and scientists have been debating since the artist touched his last brush stroke to the canvas(油画）．Leonardo began work on the painting in 1503。

A brief absence from the Louvre made her even more famous.“The theft in 1911 was a decisive moment in her history"，Frank Fehrenbach，Renaissance expert and professor of art history at Harvard University explained.“After she was recovered and returned triumphantly to the museum in 1913，she became its temple icon."
Since then，the public has held an unwavering fascination with the Mona Lisa，and her mystique has only snowballed with the emergence of various popular theories over the years.The Da Vinci Code(2003），Dan Brown's successful novel,has helped out in no small part，with the painting figuring prominently（显著地）in its riveting（吸引人的)opening chapters。
