Mona Lisa

These pictures are similar by the way that they were painted. They both have women as the main point, with a landscape in the background. The landscapes are more natural with flowers and fields. They are different by the techniques used to paint them. The background in "Sunday" is more modern while the "Mona Lisa" is more old fashioned, of course because of when it was made (in the 16th century).  The artists point of views are very much different. I believe Alex Echo was trying to make the girl magical and distant, while the "Mona Lisa" is more about the women, rather then the background. It seems like the background was the final touches of the "Mona Lisa".
