Exceptional
This work has reached the exceptional level

So much vivid expression here that is additionally supplemented through a unique visual presentation.

I was caught with many genuine lines. However, the one that connected me was, "...she must live right here on this canvas."

That line alone brings to life everything what Mona Lisa is today.

A masterful piece.

This is an excellent entry in the Mona Lisa poem contest. I love the inter-playing dialogue between the apprentice, Master, the painting, and even the spirit. The rhythm and structure of the poem flowed through out.

This is an excellent presentation for entry in the Per Mona Lisa con Amore contest. You have made the words project your take on Da Vinci speaking to an apprentice. Your projection is humorous. I would have shown it backwards like a reflection in a mirror just to ... some people off. You are much nicer than I am. Well done.

Hello, this is cleverly written. I liked the dialogue between the mater and his apprentice and how it shows your take on the Mona Lisa. I saw no errors, and this is a great entry for the competition, so best of luck. I actually found the Mona Lisa an incredible disappointment, LOL. It was such a small and insignificant work compared to others in the Louvre.

Thanks for sharing your poem, which was a pleasure to read and review, Ana.

This is truly wonderful. You bring daVinci to life here in the most exciting way. At the same time you show what is in an artists soul really. A truly incredible tribute that gives me a new perspective on art and this particular work. NG
