                                                   The history of portrait
A     In that year one Italian workman, Peruggio, was working as a director in the Louvre. He    was also struck by the beauty of the portrait and often came to look at it. One day he heard a professor say: “ It was Napoleon who brought this picture to France as a military trophy from Italy. Peruggio was struck  by this idea and decided to take the picture and return it to his motherland. At dinner-time he cut the picture out of its frame, rolled it up and hid it under his overalls. In this way he carried it out of the museum. When he got home he hid  it behind  a cupboard where it lay in the dust for almost 2 years. It was only in 1913 that he brought the painting to Italy. But the  French Government would not agree to hand the picture  over  to the its rightful owner, the Italian people. There followed a diplomatic conflict and as a result the painting was returned to Paris. It is now again in the Louvre, where two watchmen guard it day and night.
B     In the year 1504, Mona Lisa Gioconda, one of the  loveliest and influential women in Florence once happened to see a miniature painted by Leonardo da Vinci. Mona Lisa was struck by the beauty of the painting. So she decided to have a portrait of herself painted by Leonardo. As a result, a few weeks later Leonardo began his famous portrait of the smiling Mona Lisa. It took him 3 years to paint this great masterpiece of art. Leonardo da Vinci was an Italian, but his famous masterpiece is not in the possession of the Italian people. This is what happened to it.
C     Leonardo da Vinci was a great Italian artist and talented scientist. He lived and created his masterpieces in the period of the Renaissance. He left us several beautiful paintings as well as his famous notebook with  numerous drawings and technical ideas. His works in the field of optics, mechanics and mathematics were truly remarkable and are of great interest to us even now. Leonardo da Vinci was one of the giants of creation not only in the history of art, but also in the history of science. One of his best known pictures is the portrait of Gioconda. The  history of this portrait is of  great interest.
D  Almost three hundred years after it was finished, in 1796, Napoleon’s army occupied  Milan. Besides reparations Napoleon demanded  many  valuable works of art. Among them was  Leonardo’s Mona Lisa.  Napoleon took the picture to France. For over a hundred years it was kept in the Louvre museum, in Paris. We find it there in 1911. Many people from various countries stand for hours  before Leonardo’s masterpiece. The colours on Gioconda’s  face are so fresh and her smile so lovely. The impression is that the artist has just finished  the portrait.

HOT TICKETS
         The “West End” is London’s the theatreland – home to over forty theatres. London’s plays, shows and operas attract around 11 million visitors per year and, with tickets costing around ₤30 each, they bring a lot of income into the capital. The biggest West End attractions are always musicals. Cats ran for 21 years, and Les Misrables is currently celebrating its 18th year in the West End. Here are some of the hottest tickets in town today.
         My Fair Lady is based on G.B.Shaw’s play Pygmalion and tells the story of Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower seller chosen from the streets by a professor of linguistics and transformed into a lady. This current production opened in 2001 starring Martine McCutcheon from the soap East Enders. It features well-known songs such as “I am getting married in the morning” and “On the street where you live”.
         Bombay Dreams is based in the Indian film industry and features an all-Asian cast. The story centers around Akaash, a poor boy played by Raza Jaffrey, who becomes a film star and falls in love with the daughter of one of Bombay’s greatest film directors. The show features modern Indian pop music, such as “Shakalaka baby”, and dazzling costumes and choreography. It opened in 2002 and quickly became one of the most popular shows in London.
         We Will Rock You opened in 2002. This musical, with a script by comedian Ben Elton, takes place in the future, when rock music is illegal. The story is based on famous songs by Queen such as “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “I Want to Break Free”, the set resembles a rock concert and there are plenty of special effects. And Tony Vincent, who plays the hero Galileo Figaro, sounds very like Queen’s lead singer, Freddie Mercury.
