The biggest mystery in the world of arts is why the painting named "Mona Lisa" is so expensive.The biggest mystery in the world of arts is why the painting named "Mona Lisa" is so expensive. In fact, there is no prize for "Mona Lisa". That value of that painting is immeasurable. But when we are talking about the prize of that painting, the prize means the insurance, what is taken for it. That prize is 2 billion Euros, but the question is about the national treasure of France, and the painting is not for sale by any prize.


When we are thinking about the history of that painting, the thing is that it's not so big or impressive, what we are normally thinking or expecting. What makes this painting so well known, is that it is so expensive. In the history is claimed, that "Mona Lisa" could be Italian noblewoman, whose name is mentioned in some documents, but in fact, we cannot be sure, was that woman really the woman, who sat as the model for that painting. The thing is, that this painting can be ordered and paid by some person, but somebody else could sit in the front of the master, who painted the painting.


One interesting theory about this painting is that the body of the character would be painted first, and in that process, the model could be anybody, who Leonardo knew. But when the faces have been painted, the model could be changed, or they were painted by using drawing. Sometimes I have thought that maybe the "Mona Lisa" is synthetic work. That means that Leonardo and some of the friends of him could play the game, where they asked each other to description the most beautiful woman, what they can imagine. And then the drawer would make that picture.


Maybe the form of the faces of Mona Lisa would created by some artist, who worked for the "night's official", what meant the Italian version of the "Men in black". That picture was given to Leonardo and then he painted this most famous painting in the world. This could be one explanation, why this painting is so special. The time, what Leonardo spent with this painting was very long. The creation process took almost 20 years, and during the life of Leonardo, that painting had no prize at all. But then the painting was found, and there are many thoughts, why it has so high prize.


The thing is that this painting has many rumors and claiming around it. And when one Italian thief stole that painting, what was found a couple of years later. There are stories, that this Italian painter worked for payment, as the hired actor. Rumors started because that poor thief would not have money and how he could explain that painting. If the painting would have insurance for 2 billion Euros, there must be something special in it.

Why we are investigating art?

We are interesting about the art because in the paintings and tales have been trapped things, what was happen the long time ago. And that's why those things are interesting. Another thing, what makes paintings very interesting is their prize. Why somebody would want to pay millions of Euros about the picture, what this person ever can put to the wall? Who invests the art, and why those people do that thing? And why some paintings are national treasury, what is guarded by some secret service-style organization?

If they would have very much money, why they would not give it to the museums? When we are thinking about the art as the target for the investment, the prize of those paintings can be extremely high, but their prize moves up and down so fast, that this investment would be unstable. The willingness to pay those paintings or statues is connected to the economic situation in some country. When people have "too much money", they would invest in the art, but what is too much?

And again, the question is, "why those paintings were bought in the very high prize? Does there be something, what people don't want to tell when they would want some painting? Are there some secret codes or something even bigger in those famous paintings? And could that thing something, what we cannot even imagine? In some wild stories, the brains of the people could be stored inside the paintings. In that imagination theory, the fat of the brains would be replaced by silicone and stored in the airtight locker.

There could be possible that if those cells would be stored very good, the function of the electricity could stay in those neurons, and that could be read by using EEG-machine. But maybe those theories go too far but in this case, the modern technology would allow us to create biological microchips by using this technology. In this case, we must remember, that those cells must be feed, that the biological computer would work perfectly. But this thing might be only the imagination. Or are those things behind the stories of the cursed paintings. Or are they only theories. And there might be something else answers for the question, why some paintings are so expensive, and why there were told stories about the cursed paintings, and those things make the arts so fascinating.
