Lisa del Giocondo
Francesco and his family were passionate about art. They hired various artists for different commissions. They asked Antonio di Donnino Mazzieri to paint a fresco in their family burial place. Andrea del Sarto painted a Madonna for another family member, and Francesco even hired Leonardo to paint a portrait of his wife, Lisa. The Mona Lisa, which is now famous, was created as a portrayal of a virtuous woman. Lisa is shown as a faithful wife with her right hand resting over her left. Leonardo made her look fashionable and well-off, wearing Spanish-influenced high-fashion clothing. The portrait's size was quite extravagant, matching the standards of wealthier art patrons of that era.
