Maggie successful/unsuccessful painting

 Like the painting I showed last week I think the painting "Ophelia" by John Millais from 1851 is what I think is successful. The painting is so interesting, and you can find something new/unique about it every time you look at it, like the different colors of the flowers around her or the expression on her face. You can also see the amount of effort put into it, as there are many tiny details expressed in it. One painting I find challenging to appreciate is the Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci in 1503. I can see why so many people like it, but it is hard to see why it is regarded as one of the most famous paintings ever, because it is just a woman smiling. I feel like this painting lacks substance, while the other is very interesting.
