All over the world the portrait has been used and seen, where it gives people the chance to see it without actually going to the ends of the earth to see it in person. While it's not the original painting itself, it gives people an idea of what the world is about. Just like any other icon, once you become an icon nothing can take that away from you or anything like that. It stands on its own. So many people admire the painting that they use it in commercials today. McDonald's used the “Mona Lisa” to advertise a Big Mac. In the commercial, “da Vinci was painting the Mona Lisa and she didn't smile until she took a piece of the Big Mac sandwich, and that's how the Mona Lisa was created.” With all the unanswered questions about the “Mona Lisa”, this painting will never lose its fame. If someone could answer all the questions the portrait entails, the painting would still remain famous because it took so long for the mysteries to be revealed. Furthermore, the fact that the painting was not painted on canvas but on a piece of wood, gives the painting another piece of uniqueness. Although Leonardo painted on wood panels, it is rare today to fine someone for using the same type of canvas as Leonardo
