Leonardo da Vinci painted a half-length portrait of a woman which is the most well known piece of art in history called Mona Lisa. This piece of art is from the Classical Realism movement which means it was when art was beginning to pick up realistic traits and this image is one of the first to employ atmospheric perspective. The next image shown is how the Mona Lisa used in the 21st century. They use Mona Lisa on a pair of leggings which shows "Lisa's" face twice. In the present Mona Lisa is so iconic that artists like Kanye West use her name in his songs. In Kanye West's song Flashing Lights he says,
"In my past, you on the other side of the glass of my memory's museum. I'm just saying, hey Mona Lisa come home you know you can't roam without Caesar"
