Who is Mona Lisa? Does she really exist? What is the mystery of her painting? What is the secret behind her smile?
Mona Lisa is painted by Leonardo da Vinci. According to my research Mona Lisa comes from the Italian word "Ma donna" which means My Lady. Mona is the short term for ma donna. Therefore the title is Mona Lisa. And "Ma donna" in english means "Madam". So, title simply means Madam Lisa. The real name of the person in the painting is Lisa del Giocondo she was a member of Gherardini family of Florence and Tuscany and she is the wife of wealthy Florentine silk merchant Francesco del Giocondo. It says that this painting is commissioned for their new home and a celebration for their second son and it;s says that the couple never receive the painting because Da Vinci is not satisfied of its outcome. But then that painting become famous with the people with different interpretation in the painting, the manner in which it was painted and because of Da Vinci being unique and having creative mind.
People has many different interpretation about Mona Lisa's painting. The interpretation is left up to the viewer as to what the woman is trying to convey. Some says that Mona Lisa's smile is a mysterious semi-smile and her eyes says that she has a secret. Mona Lisa's hands, her right hand resting on her left hand it says Da Vinci chooses this gesture than wedding ring because Mona Lisa is a virtuous woman and also a faithful wife. It also says that the eyes of Mona Lisa's painting has the secret code, In the right eye the letter LV where found which could mean Da Vinci's name and in the left eye symbols where seen which is difficult to understand the letters are : C, E or B. And they also found the figure 72 or an L and a 2 in the background. Researchers from Italy found those secret code by using magnifying glass they also says that by looking on the painting without using anything just your yes cannot see those secret codes.
Another thought is that it is the feminine
version of Da Vinci. Digital analysis has revealed that Da
Vinci's facial characteristics and those of the woman in the painting
are almost perfectly aligned with one another. There are many mysteries or thoughts in that painting. When you don't know how to investigate a painting you will not notice those mysteries. Another one is one researcher says that the expression of Mona Lisa is changing. And later on she realized whats happening on the painting, and says that our peripheral vision sees blurry images while the central vision sees fine detail. When she made the face blurred with a filter, the Mona Lisa looked as if she's wearing a cheerful smile but homing in on the fine detail gave her a more demure expression. and realized that Da Vinci achieved an unusuall effect the Mona Lisa's smile changes on how you will look at the painting.
