This is fantastic, especially when I consider that as an 8 yr old child myself I bought my own mother a framed print copy of the Mona Lisa painting as a gift for her. It still hangs in her house to this day almost 50 yrs later.

but what if your mother comes to know now that the gift she received was not of monalisa but some different named painting😄😄.. from jagadeesh pediredla

[@GeoffLogie]

The appeal, fascination and mystery of the Mona Lisa is that it depicts a woman under the spell of unrequited love…this is the genius of Leonardo in this instance, his ability to capture such interior emotional complexes. We the observers of such art have a natural fascination for such human dilemmas frozen in expression on the canvas for us to study and witness, a soul in torment and yet animated by the magic of love.

[@hayesjennife]

The story of de Medici and his son makes more sense to me than the silk merchant's wife synopsis because Leonardo was a celebrity in his time. Why didn't the merchant pursue Leo the painting. There is not a note of compensation simply a notation that he did agree to complete a painting for them. I am incline to believe that Salai delivered the painting to them when he returned to Milan. Leonardo was able to keep the "mothers painting" after de Medici unexpectantly died.

[@Danny30011980]

But oil colours can darken over time, I'm sure the colours were more vibrant when it was just completed. So the dress isn't neccessarily dark and colours of someone dead or in grief. Possible that the colours were lighter back then. And I also read that the Gherardini's and Leonardo DaVinci were once neighbours in Florence. Also there were apparently two paintings of the same subject, two Mona Lisa's/La Gioconda's. It's still disputed which was the initial one

[@tonythomas6847]

In a video by the channel The Great Art Explained, they shows actual Mona Lisa with what may have been it's real colors. Its very beautiful.

[@nickmandleberg]

The painting only became legendary in 1911 after it was stolen from the Louvre. Before then there was nothing to distinguish it from Da Vinci's other works on display there and it received no special reverence. The sensational media hype surrounding the heist spread across the globe and created a legendary masterpiece yet those who flock to see it have no idea why it is deemed so special.

One of the attractions of the Mona Lisa was her smile. When you looked at her, you could not tell if she was smiling or not. From the time the Mandela Effect started happening, you can clearly see the picture has now changed to her smiling. Now, her smile is shown with an upward position. Her smile is no longer an attraction to the painting because there is nothing to ponder about her smile anymore.

[@NickVenture1]

HELLO. Actually if the painting was really done in "one session" without many changes.. this is not such a good sign! In this movie they talk about a minor change only with a couple fingers. But I also read that there are in fact several other changes which occurred during the making of the painting. There is a book about this published by a french who scanned the canvas. They actually show some scenes in this movie where we can see exactly this camera in action.. but for some reason they do not mention anything about this laboratory. "Lumiere Society" in Paris. Maybe for copyright reasons? Or I did not notice.. Paintings which turn out to have been created without much or no petimenti at all (changes in the lay out which occurs during the creation of an artwork) are often suspected to be replicas of an original. You understand that an artist.. either the author himself or a copier will just paint exactly what he can already see. Because he will have a sample right in view to make another painting. By the way it is exactly the same when the original author of a painting is making a double for himself or another client. He will not have to start from scratch and there will be less changes of course.. visible under the finished surface. Example is also Vincent van Gogh who definitely painted several times the same portraits. There was developed a kind of algorithm technology for art expertise which is able to differentiate the movements of the artist's hand by scanning the brushstrokes of a painted surface. And it turned out that the Artificial Intelligence was able to differentiate the painting done as the first original creation from the other versions where the artist was moving his brush in a different way.. because his attention focuses on another painting which he just needs to replicate. Most interesting development's thanks to some teams busy in the Netherlands doing this kind of research. This can even help in the future to discover the background stories of paintings by getting the brush stroke profile of a certain artist according to certain periods of their creative life. So maybe the Mona Lisa of the Louvre just turns out to be a duplicate made by the master himself of another earlier version which should have probably a couple petimenti under the surface.. something which can still be discovered. I think there are already some rumors because of the reduction of certain elements in the composition of the Louvre painting in comparison to some other painting where a wall or something like this appears. Window frame or such.. don't remember precisely now. But definitely there are more stories to be considered here and that book can give much more info than the film we see here. Book author is named "Coste" Maybe Patrick Coste?

[@alexechoz]

@@zhylviawardzon1933 Maybe you can explain the story? Many of us here know only what is in this video, which clearly states it was painted in one session. It seems unlikely, but it is repeated three times in the length of this - if there is a further story, as you assure us there is, we need a link to the follow up video, or for you to enlighten us here.

If this painting hides a secret, it’s who the character really represented in it is. And this character is by no means Lisa Gherardini as we are told, but Isabella of Aragon y Sforza, the daughter of King Afonso II of Naples and companion of Leonardo da Vinci after the death of Isabella’s first husband, according to what the German historian Maike Vogt-Lüerssen tells us.

Interesting new information, discoveries. Plausible with one exception... if you have ever painted sfumato you know how extremely difficult it is and can take years. To think this painting is Alla prima is ridiculous. Try painting with walnut oil and real vermillion and see how long it takes to dry. The key that makes this story plausible is only one missing piece of the puzzle...and a step short of thorough research. One must remember that Leonardo was a visionary, a Renaissance tech geek. His work was revolutionary and altered our perception of the true power of art. Now think about that happening in the 1400's. It wouldn't take much to blow you away. But he was radical... out with tempura even though Michelangelo had perfected it. Oil and the principles he wrote about painting didn't exist until he wrote them down. His paintings were all new and frankly still are. We have yet to get close to him. Try painting a living presence. Anyone. So, long story short, these 'chroniclers' thought it was unfinished when in actuality it was finished. The treatment of the sky, the mountains, the landscape in comparison to the Mona Lisa is very different... his theories are coming out. They wouldn't have understood what they were looking at. Modern scholars are still trying to figure it out. The truth is he painted it all... who else could? He did it over years and kept it with him. Every true artist has one they complain is never done but they just want to keep it. So with that assumption puzzle and theory complete. It was not unfinished, they just thought it was.

Mona Lisa is a portrait of Mary Magdalene. Salvatore Mondi was Jesus's portrait. Leonardo DaVinci painted from memory. He was Jesus in a pastlife. Mary Magdalene was Jesus's wife. She was pregnant with twins. A girl and a boy when Jesus was Crucified. The son was Jesus reincarnated. We are Twin Flames. Two halves of the same soul. Today he is 28 years old. Minus the beard and wrinkles... He is a singer and musician. I was Mary Magdalene and I am nearly 46. Psychic Medium, and Mother of 5 at present. Everyone keeps waiting for the resurrection of Jesus, but he has resurrected many, many times. He was also Nikola Tesla 1856-1943. I was a French Actress who was named Sarah Bernhardt 1844-1923. My counterpart and I can most likely crack the codes. The battle painting was most likely his lifetime as Alexander the Great, or possibly his lifetime as King David. The painting of Saint John the Baptist was a painting of our son, who was Jesus reincarnated. I think he looks like us both. Our daughter was one of the unfinished works.

Personally, I'm not a big fan of painting, in the main. But there are exceptions to my 'rule'. There are some works with brush and oil and canvas and pigment that draw me in, engage my thoughts and emotions as much as anyone's. However, in the documentary here, I'm much more interested and intellectually satisfied by the methods, tools, and technology used to try and puzzle out the specific history of the Mona Lisa. But come on, there is **no way** you can't get a little thrill out of the fact that after his preliminary work, with charcoal and pencil, to settle on his composition's final form, da Vinci settled down and created the most famous portrait on Earth in essentially one go. Theories of his having worked on the portrait over time and several sessions have been called into serious question, after the leading experts in the field, using the most advanced tools they had available, concluded that the master had brought this woman to life in one session, and the landscape she is in, in the next. That's pretty goddamned impressive by any measure... Worthy of admiration even when one is more interested in the research OF the work than the work itself. Or so I thought... :-) :-)

The painting is of Lisa Giancondobut was commissioned by Juliano DeMedici as despite her marriage, Lisa was Juliano’s mistress and Was the father of Lisa’s children. ( the reason for the conspiratorial smile and the gaze). Leonardo knew this and had actually painted two portraits of Lisa. The first ( the Isleworth) was painted for Juliano and was unfinished as at that time Lisa, who Leonardo had known from childhood as they lived a few doors away fro each other, at that time was unfulfilled in her life. So there was no background and was painted with window columns on canvas. The second ,( in the Louvre), was painted as a memorial picture. But Mina Lisa’ s children could not afford it so Leonardo took it with him when he moved to France. Easy enough as this one is on wood. It no longer looks out a window and the painting is fulfilled.

Since Leonardo was already dead any biographer could be in error.Florence like all cities# of the time was meticulous in requiring record keeping of business transactions. There is no record of Leonardo having a commission for the Mona Lisa. The only way to get around such record keeping, is that Leonardo was under commissions from Juliano D’ Medici. So all panels and supplies could easily be included in the otherwise normal purchases that Leonardo would have done. Leonardo knew Lisa from childhood as she grew up. A few doors from Leonardo’s establishment. Francesco Giancondo, would have become successful only with 5he support of D’ Medici in commercial orders and in business it would entail appearing at the D,Medici social affairs he would be required to bring his spouse,Lisa. Juliano D’ Medici was known to be a rake and had several mistresses. Leonardo had painted the mistresses of his benefactors before both of the D’Medici and Sforza families. To have included another of Lisa on Canvass ,unfinished would not have been an unusual thing and Raphael, had visited Leonardo’s studio and had sketched what was on Leonardo’s easel. This sketch survives and is close to the Oil on canvass of Lisa known as the Isleworth Mona Lisa, the histography of this version and the one on the wood panel in the Louvre indicates that both were done by 5he same hand. The only differences are that tho one in canvass has columns surrounding a window to an unfinished exterior and without columns and a finished exterior in the wood panel. That Lisa was a mistress to Juliano, would also account for the secretive smile given to Leonardo in both paintings, and that Lisa’s children were the result of such an affair and not from her husband. Something that She and Leonardo would have in a. Shared secret. The wood panel would have been a memorial for Lisa’s funeral but it went to France with Leonardo it is mist likely 5hat Lisa’s children could not afford to pay for such a painting. .

Plot twist: they find Sharpie marks in the underpainting instead of charcoal

I think it was his twin it died at birth so back then they didn't report if there was a dead baby they just buried it if it because Dad Mom weren't married it was a hidden thing so there's a possibility that his twin died would be my question or could be really good friends of his or it could be a good friend of his

The Mona Lisa Smile A subliminal foreshortened bridge. The bridge marries two scenic landscapes on each side of her face drawing focus to her smile. Darkness, shadow, and light is transformed into a smile that Pinnacles laterally across her face. Thus, creating a visual bridge that transcends the Mona Lisa face. A mirage of a near perfect third dimension. An illusionary idea expressed in paint through the viewer’s eye imprinting on to the mind as a visual subliminal. daVinci divides consciousness and the unconscious with a visual illusion. An intentional deception to master and deceive an overt eye of visual perception as it is perceived by the viewer’s eye. Leonardo da Vinci mastered the subliminal mind and the overt eye with paint to fashion the Mona Lisa Smile. G. B.-Garcia 2019(cc)

[@michaelmendillo7513]

I don't believe it is anything more than a portrait painted by a great artist,,,

[@lrmodranoel]

Originally the Mona Lisa had lashes and eye brows, but with time, cleaning the portrait wiped away these features.

Is mona lisa very beautiful?
