THE STUMPTOWN PRESS COMES TO A HALT

It’s been a fun run. Millions of views and lots of great supporters but the time has arrived to halt the presses. The engine that I use ( TYPE PAD) has become worse than ever. I’m going to leave the site up until they go broke and it all goes away. I looked at transferring all the thousands of photos to a new carrier but it’s a fortune to do and I would still lose plenty of content. I want to thank you for stopping by and giving The Stump a look. You can find the latest photos on Facebook under PORTLAND MEMORIES. Thank you again.

MONA LISA

Lisa, known worldwide as La Mona Lisa. Her real name was Lisa di Antonio Maria Gherardini, a Florentine of noble lineage belonging to the Gherardini family of Tuscany, Italy.

 

Lisa was portrayed by Leonardo da Vinci at the commission of her husband, unaware that her image would become a global phenomenon.

 

Although she led a common life as a Florentine, married to a textile merchant and mother of five children, her portrait as Gioconda catapulted her to fame after her death.

 

It became the most famous painting in the world and an enduring cultural icon. Lisa's historical identity was debated for centuries, but in the 21st century, her authenticity as the woman portrayed by Leonardo was confirmed.
