text: pieces of art from the 16th century until the early 20th century did not have smiling. I am not sure why many did not smile maybe it was easier to paint humans withouts smiles. No one for sure knows if that woman was actually smiling except the girl and Da Vinci himself. The world always wants to improve and make changes and but the world is different we all face different struggle sand have different emotions you cannot put a label on a person´s emotions.    I think the author did a great job explaining venus and it's many complications.
