Portrait paintings reflect the emotions of a person. Every portrait reflects the personality of a person. The eyes of the person in the portrait, tells a story by itself. In fact, a portrait can be called perfect only when the artist is able to capture the emotions, in the eyes of the person, perfectly into the portrait. It is not an easy task and every artist puts in a lot of effort to make their portraits look beautiful as well as real.
An expert artist can very successfully reflect the personality of a person through his portrait. He captures everything perfectly into the portrait right from the muscle tone and skull structure to the perfect smile. To make the portrait paintings perfect, an artist first studies his/her subject very closely. He/she very deeply studies the character and personality of the person whose portrait is being made. He/she studies the emotions reflected by the eyes and smile of the subject. The artists very carefully study the structure of the features too.
After close study of the subject, the artists start working on the portrait paintings. They put in all their efforts to fill life into the portrait and make it look real. They try to reflect the different emotions, like happiness, anger, excitement etc., present in the subject, through the portrait. All the qualities which are required to make a portrait look beautiful are present in Leonardo Da Vinci’s ‘Mona Lisa’. That’s the reason why it is considered as one of the most beautiful portrait paintings painted till date.
