Madam Titsolisa with a petmine Explanation: Mona Lisa, or La Gioconda (La Joconde) - "Mona" is a common Italian contraction of "madonna," meaning "my lady," the equivalent of the English "Madam," so the title means "Madam Lisa." In modern Italian the short form of "madonna" is usually spelled "Monna," so the title is sometimes, though rarely, given as Monna Lisa. The Lady with an Ermine - It has been read as a symbol of purity or of Il Moro, whose emblem was "L'Ermellino", a little ermine. Alternatively, it could be a pun on her name (the Greek for ermine is galay). Strictly speaking, the animal in the painting appears to be not an ermine but a white ferret, a species favoured in the Middle Ages due to the ease of seeing the rodent in thick undergrowth. |
