Sejarah tentang Monalisa
05:32 Unknown
Lukisan Mona Lisa adalah salah satu lukisan yang sangat fenomenal
karya Leonardo da Vinci yang di buat pada tahun 1503 – 1517, namun
kebenarannya pun masih sering diperbincangkan. Lukisan ini menggambarkan
sosok wanita berambut panjang dengan gaun Kerajaan berwarna hijau tua,
lukisan berbentuk potrait dan mengambil setengah badan objek wanita
tersebut.
Diprediksi bahwa wanita tersebut bernama Lisa, dan lukisan tersebut diberi nama Mona Lisa artinya Nyonya Lisa. Saat tahun 1911 lukisan ini sempat dicuri hingga akhirnya ditemukan dalam keadaan yang sungguh lusuh tersiram cairan asam. Hingga akhirnya pada sejarawan berinisiatif melindungi lukisan tersebut dengan kotak kaca anti peluru. Namun karena usianya yang sudah mencapai 500 tahun, lukisan tersebut sudah terlihat samar.
Uniknya selain Mona Lisa, terdapat berbagai nama yang diberi orang untuk lukisan tersebut, di Prancis sendiri menyebut lukisan tersebut La Joconde. Di Itali, lukisan tersebut dinamakan La Gioconda yang artinya orang yang berbahagia.
Pasca da Vinci meninggal, lukisan tersebut diwariskan pada murid dan asistennya, akhirnya lukisan ini dibeli oleh King Francis I of France dan sempat disimpan di Palace of Fontainebleau. Namun sayangnya lukisan ini sempat berpindah-pindah tangan bahkan hilang dan dicuri. Sekarang lukisan ini berdiri tegak di Museum The Louvre, Prancis.
Bahasa Italia: La Gioconda, Bahasa Perancis: La Joconde
Mona dalam bahasa Italia adalah singkatan untuk ma donna yang artinya adalah "nyonyaku". Sehingga judul lukisan artinya adalah Nyonya Lisa. Dalam bahasa Italia biasanya judul lukisan ditulis sebagai Monna Lisa.
Lalu La Gioconda adalah bentuk feminin dari Giocondo. Kata giocondo dalam bahasa Italia artinya adalah "riang" dan la gioconda artinya adalah "wanita riang". Berkat senyum Mona Lisa yang misterius ini, frasa ini memiliki makna ganda. Begitu pula terjemahannya dalam bahasa Perancis; La Joconde.
Nama Mona Lisa dan La Gioconda atau La Joconde menjadi judul lukisan ini yang diterima secara luas semenjak abad ke-19. Sebelumnya lukisan ini disebut dengan berbagai nama seperti "Wanita dari Firenze" atau "Seorang wanita bangsawan dengan kerudung tipis".

Born and raised in central Argentina, Messi was diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency as a child. At age 13, he relocated to Spain to join Barcelona, who agreed to pay for his medical treatment. After a fast progression through Barcelona's youth academy, Messi made his competitive debut aged 17 in October 2004. Despite being injury-prone during his early career, he established himself as an integral player for the club within the next three years, finishing 2007 as a finalist for both the Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year award, a feat he repeated the following year. His first uninterrupted campaign came in the 2008–09 season, during which he helped Barcelona achieve the first treble in Spanish football. At 22 years old, Messi won the Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year award by record voting margins.
Three successful seasons followed, with Messi winning three consecutive FIFA Ballons d'Or, including an unprecedented fourth. His personal best campaign to date was the 2011–12 season, in which he set the La Liga and European records for most goals scored in a single season, while establishing himself as Barcelona's all-time top scorer in official competitions in March 2012. He again struggled with injury during the following two seasons, twice finishing second for the Ballon d'Or behind Cristiano Ronaldo, his perceived career rival. Messi regained his best form during the 2014–15 campaign, breaking the all-time goalscoring records in both La Liga and the Champions League in November 2014,[note 3] and led Barcelona to a historic second treble.

Instagram is an online mobile photo-sharing site that enables its users to take pictures and share them either publicly or privately on the app, as well as through a variety of other social networking platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and Flickr. Originally, a distinctive feature was that it confined photos to a square shape, similar to Kodak Instamatic and Polaroid SX-70 images, in contrast to the 4:3 aspect ratio typically used by mobile device cameras. In August 2015, version 7.5 was released, allowing users to upload media captured in any aspect ratio. Users can also apply digital filters to their images. Videos on Instagram debuted in June 2013, allowing prerecorded square standard definition resolution clips of up to 15 seconds to be shared; later improvements added support for widescreen resolutions of up to 1080p and longer recording times for either prerecorded (up to one minute) or disappearing live (up to one hour) videos.
Instagram was created by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger, and launched in October 2010 as a free mobile app. The service rapidly gained popularity, with over 100 million active users as of April 2012[10][11] and over 300 million as of December 2014.[12] Instagram is distributed through the Apple App Store and Google Play.[13] Support for the app is available for iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Windows 10 devices and Android handsets, while third-party Instagram apps are available for BlackBerry 10 and Nokia-Symbian Devices.
On April 12, 2012, Facebook acquired Instagram for approximately $1 billion in cash and stock.[39][40] The deal, which was made just prior to Facebook's scheduled IPO, cost about a quarter of Facebook's cash-on-hand, according to figures documented at the end of 2011. The deal was for a company characterized as having "lots of buzz but no business model", and the price was contrasted with the $35 million Yahoo! paid for Flickr in 2005,[34] a website that has since become among the 50 most popular in the world.[41]
Mark Zuckerberg noted that Facebook was "committed to building and growing Instagram independently", in contrast to its past practice.[34] According to multiple reports, the deal netted Systrom $400 million based on his ownership stake in the business.[42] The exact purchase price was $300 million in cash and 23 million shares of stock.[43]
On December 17, 2012, Instagram updated its Terms of Service, granting itself the right—starting on January 16, 2013—to sell users' photos to third parties without notification or compensation.[44][45][46][47] The criticism from privacy advocates, consumers, the National Geographic Society,[48] and celebrities like Kim Kardashian[49] prompted Instagram to issue a statement retracting the controversial terms; regardless, the issue resulted in the loss of a portion of Instagram's user-base, as former users switched to other photo-sharing services, which reported an increase in usage

Instagram's users are divided equally with 50% iPhone owners and 50% Android owners. While Instagram has a neutral gender-bias format, 68% of Instagram users are female while 32% are male. Instagram's geographical use is shown to favor urban areas as 17% of US adults who live in urban areas use instagram while only 11% of adults in suburban and rural areas do so. While Instagram may appear to be one of the most widely used sites for photo sharing, only 7% of daily photo uploads, among the top four photo-sharing platforms, come from Instagram. Instagram has been proven to attract the younger generation with 90% of the 150 million users under the age of 35. From June 2012 to June 2013, Instagram approximately doubled their number of users. As regards income, 15% of US internet users who make less than $30,000 per year use Instagram, while 14% of those making $30,000 to $50,000, and 12% of users who make more than $50,000 per year do so.[84] With respect to the education demographic, respondents with some college education proved to be the most active on Instagram with 23%. Following behind, college graduates consist of 18% and users with a high school diploma or less make up 15%. Among these Instagram users, 24% say they use the app several times a day.Explore tab
The new explore tab was introduced in mid-2012 in which 21 photos are featured when a user clicks the tab second from the left on the bottom bar of the Instagram app. The photos must be of a public user whose profile is not set to private. This section of Instagram is where users can search for specific users or particular hashtags that interest them.Filters

Lux
Another feature, the Lux effect, allows you to quickly adjust the exposure and contrast through a simple 100-point slider. This editing tool allows you to control the brightness to the saturation levels of each photograph.[112]Video
Initially a purely photo-sharing service, Instagram incorporated video sharing in June 2013, allowing its users to record and share videos lasting for up to 15 seconds at a 640x640 fixed resolution.[113] The addition was seen by some in the technology media as Facebook's attempt at competing with video-sharing applications such as Mobli and Vine, both which would later announce plans to shut down, although Vine will continue with limited functionality.Since June 2013, support for widescreen video at resolutions of up to 1080p is available. In January 2016, Instagram increased the 15 seconds limit on videos to 60 seconds.[114][115][116][117]
Instagram Stories
On August 2, 2016, Instagram launched a new feature called Instagram Stories. Instagram Stories allows users to share photos and videos, which disappear after 24 hours and don’t appear on the user's profile grid or in their feed.[118]Instagram later added Live Video to Instagram Stories, allowing users to create and share disappearing live streaming videos of up to one hour.[119] In January 2017, Instagram announced that Instagram Stories had reached 150M users, and launched skippable ads.[120]
Instagram Direct
On December 12, 2013 at the press event in New York, Instagram founder Kevin Systrom announced the introduction of private photo and video sharing feature called Instagram Direct.[121] In September 2015, Instagram Direct received a major update, adding new features such as instant messaging, adding more than one user & sharing more than one photos in a single conversation, and sharing post & profiles from feeds directly to the user.
