the Mona Lisa is like fine wine
a: the Mona Lisa ~
b: fine wine
What: "I think the Mona Lisa is like fine wine, not only does it get better with age, but it is the age of the viewer that recognizes and appreciates its fineness. It is amazing that the same expert hand that knows and renders raw flesh, muscle and bone with paper and pencil - can so delicately represent the most subtle of emotions with a brush. The sign of a truly gifted man a master. "
