First Eleven: 1: Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A series about some of the best-known images in art

The superstar: the world's most famous painting, the most celebrated smile of all time. She's been eulogised, commercialised, and satirised for centuries; but how did this unknown Italian girl become a household name in the first place, and what does that smile mean?
Robert Hughes looks at the history and vast mythology surrounding the Gioconda.
(The art world's First Eleven - you pick the Twelfth Man: pages 6-7)
