The Secret Life of Mona Lisa
"Mona Lisa is a portrait of a specific person, with a relatively square face."
How many time has anyone ever wonder who was this lady made so famous by Leonardo da Vinci? Whoever Mona Lisa may have been, she has become the object of much affection and obsession over the centuries, perhaps because of Leonardo's own legendary reputation.
Mona Lisa painting vanishing act in 1911 is not the first mystery associated with the enigmatic lady. Painted by Leonardo da Vinci in the early 1500s, little else is known about her. Even her true identity is uncertain. The painting was eventually found in 1913, very near the spot where she had been conceived four centuries earlier... having been hidden for two years in the humble apartments of her kidnapper only blocks from the Louvre. She rests again now in the Louvre museum – under considerably more rigorous security – where millions visit her each year.
Now, after so many centuries, mystery of her once again stirring up & taking many by surprise!
...Ready? Take a deep breath. Some people think Mona Lisa is ... a man. Now, take another deep breath. Some people even think that Mona Lisa is Leonardo da Vinci in disguise. Relax. These are just some of the most absurd speculations found on the internet about the lady with the most famous mysterious smile. Why not? Even my son said Leonardo da Vinci could have dressed himself up as a woman & sat in front of the mirror painting himself! But really who exactly was Mona Lisa, and who was she to the painter.
