IMHO..the painting "Girl in the Pearl Earring" by Vermeer is far lovelier.

Mona Lisa paved the way for Vermeer who lived over 100 years later.

Leonardo helped break the ground for non-religious art, which allowed painters to be involved in landscapes, portraits of normal people, and a plethora of other subjects.

Mona Lisa may not be beautiful from our modern vantage point, but if considered in its historical context, it is a remarkable painting.
