Taking a Closer Look at the Mona Lisa

This is an interesting story on the recent analysis of the Mona Lisa in the Louvre. It's amazing how different individuals view art.  Art's true value is in the impression it gives the observer.  In other words, how it touches you.  It's the same principle as taking a beautiful flower and dissecting it.  To an artist, the beauty is in the flower outer appearance.  To a scientist, its beauty is in it's inmost parts.  To a philosopher, it's what it represents.  How do you view the Mona Lisa?  What is most interesting about it to you?
