It wouldn’t be as famous as it is if it didn’t have something remarkable about it. Art is about creating emotion in people and whether you think it has good “aesthetics” or not, the Mona Lisa captures people’s imaginations almost more than any other painting in the world.

For me there is a mystery and secret in the Mona Lisa which doesn’t exist in other paintings that might show great “skill” and in the end, art is about emotional impact, not what some critic thinks is “skillful”

Sometimes “remarkable” means a meme randomly caught on, or a good marketing team. There are plenty of famous things that are poor imitations of relative unknowns.

There is something uncanny in this painting, my take is that it’s not a woman that was painted.
