It is the most famous most expensive and most mysterious painting in the world. Each year millions of people visit the portrayed in the louvre. The mona lisa has remained a star among works of art for centuries. Because fanatics attempting to destroy the painting can only be admired from behind armored glass. But what makes the mona lisa so special. The small painting shows nothing more than a portrait of a woman. Or does it reveal something more than. It was painted my one of the greatest geniuses who ever lived Leonardo Da Vinci. And with mona lisa he left behind more than just an image of a woman. Gaze appears to wander off yet always meets the viewer. She wears no jewelry her clothing is dark as if she were in mourning and yet she smiles mysteriously. Leonardo didnt leave behind any sketches of the portrait. No visible brushstrokes mona lisa appears to be made out of flesh and blood. Ringback d yet her biggest secret remains who was shooting whose portrait is leonardo showing us. Well to solve this puzzle the louvre placed its most famous painting under scientific scrutiny using the most modern techniques. The painting was examined using x. Rays marman spectroscopy ultraviolet an infrared pictures among other techniques to uncover its secrets. The masters painting technique was examined beyond the surface were corrections made to the painting was anything over painted did leonardo paint the piece in one session or did he work on it for decades. These questions must be answered in order to resolve the most puzzling question of them all. Who is the woman behind the smiling yet melancholy face. Who was leonardos mona lisa. Or is this not a portrait. But rather an imaginary image of an ideal beauty. Experts have been wondering this for centuries. There seems to be proof of only 2 explanations but each cancels the other out documentation comes from 2 different chroniclers d but these written records are not compatible with one another. The most accepted theory is based on biographer george over sorry according to him the portrait to pics lisa. The wife of the florentine soaked merchant francesco dodger condor who commissioned the piece in 1503. This contradicts a note by the chronicle antonio to be artists from 1517 in which Leonardo Da Vinci claims to have been commissioned by giuliani dimity team. Just like the 2 chroniclers contemporary leonardo scholars also have divergent theories. People until an artist dorian from florence believes the officially recognized theory that the painting depicts least condo. I believe that play an audio actually painted get our d. N. A. The wife of francesco del joconde. Probably around 1503. 00. 3 roman historian robert perry considers a new and revolutionary theory in which the portrayed woman is an entirely different person. I think the painting is connected with grand army. It has nothing to do with morris or. The 1st clue leads to florence the majority of the great renee songs artists lived and worked here as did Leonardo Da Vinci. Ga over sorry also worked in farms you cannot call the biographies of many italian artists. Next to his work as an architect but sorry documented the biographies of great italian artists today these make up one of the most important foundations of art history levitated their pure chill leonti architect. Tory italian e was 1st published in 1550 and revised in 1568. Today the original manuscripts are housed in the if its the library. Most of the artists whose lives were sorry chronicled were already dead at the time but the sorry researched very carefully. So too with Leonardo Da Vinci on just a few pages for sammy wrote down his whole life story. In it he also mentions that leonardo painted the portrait of mona lisa for francesco dirge a condo her husband and its in the possession of king francis the 1st to france. He labored on it for 4 years. And ultimately left it unfinished. These words gave the painting its name. Mona lisa. Who was this mona lisa of whom the sorry wrote and who was her husband francesco down to come to hong. Francesco was a stock much good acquired some wealth but wasnt part of florences elite. He was a nouveau riche businessman. Was it really possible that a renowned painter like leonardo accepted a commission by an ordinary businessman or did francesco down to condo and his wife climb the ranks of society. Out of interest were going to francesco del joconde our was well known in the city scene bush admitted he was nice just an ordinary emotions he was also a public and charismatic figure who will have it up and i live on so who pick up. From. These a doubt it was very young. And for saudi to find so very beautiful to see what i mean to marry her husband also spoke very highly often and it does that mean that in his testaments francesco refers to her as a bone a feat a woman that if he should move in this is an unusual description for women getting those who are only i have yet to find a similar description in other testaments. No more you dont own a feet a woman can signify a noble woman with high principles who works hard and has a personality. That is going to keep it going develop a postal sound. Listen belgacom do was francescos 3rd wife. The birth of their 2nd child a move into a new home could have been the occasion for the commission portrait. And yet up until then leonardo only portrayed men and women of nobility these people were interesting to him a star such as himself could choose his own subjects why did he paint lisa down to contact. Leonardo return to florence around 1500 tremolando he was 48 years old restless without family and didnt have any large commissions on the horizon. Lou not the one that when playing otto came to florence he didnt have any commissions or work. And we know that portraits are the bread and butter of painters doing it and that is to say they are the simplest commissions and also the best paid so it is easily possible that francesco del joe condo commissions laid out over to portray his wife out of the animal. But darts arise theres a condo family trade register resides in the lucky vs store to codell instituto deli no 20 and it is the basis of their tax report. Florence had a highly advanced tax system the socalled kotov. As part of this it citizens had to claim all of their incomes and expenditures. In this trade register all movement of money and assets were meticulously record it. Bizzare mentions that leonardo received the commission in 1503 so a record of the expensive portrayed must certainly have been made. But in 50 no 3 there is no reference to the expense of a painting. There is no record of a commission to leonardo in the entire trade register. There is also no mention of such a valuable painting in the inheritance. You can imagine how desperately i searched for clues of a commission or payments. Not even in the testament is there mention that this painting existed. I think francesco would have certainly claimed it since it was a painting with a rising and secure value the whole thing is incomprehensible hes begun to see if he should. Just go would have most likely sewn the portrayed by the famous painter publicly and would not have risked a bent toward tax evasion. In leonardos records there is also no trace of a commission by francesco money apparently didnt change hands. Print just goes testament is archived in florences are key of you to start oh there in there is also no mention of the great masters valuable artwork leonardo apparently never delivered the painting to francesco. Mazhar he writes about an incomplete portrait of the mona lisa and the louvre however is completed down to the very last detail. I mean the years shorey he except of the commission at a time in which he had no work at that which he introduced himself to the merchant who wanted a pain. Think of his wife and supreme agreement then he painted only the head if they study he interrupted the work for other commissions and left it finished never delivering the painting to the merchant not even the head. And there are no traces of this painting in florence with the traces left by the mercian couple must be available in the archives documents Old Testament that you do with that the decrease that and yet this painting by leonardo shows up with the way to the. Way. They stand by if we had finished the painting and admitted then a record within the family would exist if a painting by a Famous Artist like me or not oh was a very valuable commodity at this. They left me advocated wes appears we know absolutely nothing about this but he. Says thats true i mean the. Hasnt really been lost. As described by bizarrely last is the painting in the louvre the different one. Much about leonardo who seems unexplainable today very few artists have captivated peoples imaginations as he has. One reason for this is that he started so many paintings that he never finished like that of st jerome in the wilderness. Yet these works count among out historys most famous. As with the end a ration of the magi leonardo often lost interest in his paintings after he solved challenges of figuration and compositional finishing the pieces became too tedious. This was also the case with the fresco for the council hall of plot so vecchio. It was to become his largest work commissioned by the City Government leonardo chose the battle of hunky ari has his motif leonardo received the commission in 1503. 00 the same period during which he worked on research dojo condos portrait. Restless as he was leonardo left even the biggest project the florence commissioned incomplete is it plausible that he behaved similarly with mona lisa how bands only to finish it later motor probably made it is very likely that blaine otto puts the painting aside. He didnt finish it and never delivered it it was most likely completed at a later time i made. Less aisy so i think thats this theory in which the painting was begun in 1503 and finished later is the most plausible and its also the one i personally believe well put in i mean. When did leonardo finish the painting. Lets assume in old age long after he started it. Then leonardo must have carried the painting with him throughout much of his life d. If there was such a time span between the start and the completion of the painting then we can determine that with todays modern methods. And again modern technology has a go at the mona lisa. The results show that the color pigments were applied without significant interruption. Using infrared technology historians searched for over painted areas or corrections. The genius leonardo made hardly a single correction from the 1st brush stroke to the finished piece. The only overpainting occurred on mona lisas left hand here leonardo corrected the gesture of her finger. Aside from that the painting was made in one session. Believable achievement by the master. According to art historian alexander pairing these discoveries further confound the mona lisa theory. Be gone soon to school and the entire Study Confirms the absurdity of the identity of the loser painting or painting depicting more lisa. Good mood and more narrowly so we see. 1st because it was determines thats a painterly process was fairly continuous. Fall. He would have had to paint it in 2 completely separate stages toppan. Clearly be identified with todays methods and tools. Will face stirling for all of them but to go to a long shelf the landscape would have had to have been new since s. R. T. Didnt mention one at all in a launch of. The great biography and in another aspect as well. In describing the mona lisa he talks about her eyelashes which could be rendered only by the most delicate of brushes on her brows you witnessed them at their fullest and spices and how they emerged from the pores of her skin and is not really as one can only imagine the. But the mona lisa that hangs in the louvre today has neither eyelashes no eyebrows. These are also not detectable using relief imaging. Bizzare one of the main attests to the Mona Lisa Fieri never saw the painting himself. Said he no larry ruffled the bizarre a didnt have any written sources his biography is based on oral recounts that circulated in florence. At. Ask lee to libya would have yet to create a path that if he got it pushed off this means he wrote part of the history of the converse poetry with the mona lisa or based on such oral accounts the past from person to person. Who we never saw the painting. He described what he invented that those you do know. From when does the painting in the louvre stand are there 2 portraits one of them lost. This new idea takes us to the end was on the watch prompts. Leonardo died here in 1519 at the advanced age of 67. The chapel in which he was in tune is located directly next to the kings. Leonardo came to him was by invitation of the french king francis the 1st by them the artistic genius had already achieved cult status. Leonardo lived in a manner next to the chateau called clue loosing. An incident occurred in this small frenchman and that steers the mona lisa investigation in an entirely new and revolutionary direction. Leonardo brought 3 paintings with him but wonder today is referred to as the mona lisa a painting of some drum baptist and that was some downloads that he stayed in this manner in crusade where you also had a studio. At the. The chronicler antonio to beatus witnessed cardinal law degree of arrogance visit with leonardo enclosed to say on october the tent 1517. 00 he relates the 3 paintings he saw at the aging masters. One of the works is of a certain Florentine Lady painted from life that was made in honor of the passing of giuliano do many to me another one is of the young same journey the baptist the 3rd of madonna with her child seated on st annas lap the latter was the most perfect of them all. Today the painting of st anna with maria and baby jesus on her lap is housed in the louvre. So too is the painting the b. Artist described of st john the baptist. Is the painting that was made for juliana there maybe. Also in the louvre is it the mona lisa. Equired roh. The painter was commissioned in rome by julie are no dimity. As a result of an affair he had with a woman from will be no reality made you figure rundown or. Rather your question to get. d d the new name surfaces meditating. The ruling family of florence this name is most associated with the renaissance period they were rich scrupulous obsessed with power and patrons of the arts. Giuliano domenici was one of the 2 brothers that lived during divinities time. He was a womanizer and to squander. It was charismatic had a powerful name and an influential brother. This brother lived in rome his name was given me to many chain and he had High Aspirations later he became cardinal and finally pope. As pope leo the 10th he made history as a sensitive our patron as well as a scrupulous and powerful politician. To strengthen the clergys power and influence over the battling italian city states and have a weakness for the beautiful things in life. Giuliana is extravagant brother arrived in or be no but he was a guest of the plot so to carla. Here he had several chambers known as the magnificence quarter. A fair point was a power that he had been raised by his father lorenzo who was a great writer he wrote poetry amber is interested in women having the slightest interest in politics not everyone is fully least. Leonia his brother was a great politician the exact opposite that he was wrong about everything. And his great passion was politics. I was an avid hunter back but he made the top dog heaven a politician. Jovani domenici pope leo the tent took care of his brother giuliani throughout his life he also financed his extravagant lifestyle. Giuliano had countless affairs. But one of these flames had serious consequences. Been there in the muck or region. So do color looms over the town. The tragedy involving giuliano the many that would eventually lead to the mona lisa took place. For the poor but that the most important source is a document that is housed in the library of the university of. This document is a page in a book of foundling the people of yes bush. Records were found in the University Library of beano regarding a certain politic. A politician would later become cardinal publish poisoned of the age of 24. 00. But he was born an orphan. How did he acquire the name. Who were his parents. For the wreck or stuck to meant his birth how he became. Im an orphan. And later im ready to. The name of his mother also appears. From downey a young woman from beano. Not much is known about but if it could have been dani she was a guest of the blood to do karla by imitation of giuliano. It is unclear if she offered him her labors of love if he said used or as recorded by one of the documents was raped. In any case she spent a night with giuliana. And theres likely been voluntarily. But how should he have opposed the rich route. She was plagued with severe remorse after her affair with giuliana. Some sources state that she was married at the time. Dummy fell into a crisis the deep end when she found out that she was with child. A child out of wedlock from a brief encounter in the court of. Then she drew up a terrible plan. She confided in her friend and midwife that she didnt want the child and though she could not take the disgrace. The midwife should kill the new born in case president he dies in childbirth. Friend danny did in fact die on pua profi 5. But the midwife didnt take the newborns life. On april the 19th 1511. 00 the night before Easter Sunday she dropped the child off on the steps of the sun to get out a judge and it will be enough. The baby wrapped in a white sheet was giuliano so. He had a coin on him as a token of his heritage in the absence of a legitimate heir giuliana de medici recognized him as his son he named him in politics. Ok. Giuliani left will be now with his son in politics a move to his brother the pope in rome. Leonardo da vinci resided in the chambers of the vatican where he worked for the meds eastern this time. But commissions from the pope or spas here giuliano must have given him the commission of which leonardo writes enclosed lucic. Leonardo was to paint a painting to comfort a little politics. It badly you said earlier an audio to paint me happy of a mother that i can gift my some as an image of his mother that at daulat am youre free to enter as your measurement how a portrait of a mother shuttle flight a mere nardo painted the painting but we call mona lisa today a little that. It must have been a great challenge to paint an image of our mother for politics. Since he suffered a similar fate because of politics. He too was an illegitimate child who was recognized by his father. His mother didnt die in childbirth she was his fathers maid and he probably used her dependency on him for labors of love as had giuliano with his mistress friend danny. Pollock. And leonardo shared a similar fate and this inspired leonardo to paint a painting that up held the memory of a mother. The painting should lend comfort to younger politician who himself never saw his mother. He undoubtedly painted the image of ways our world should be so he develops the portraits out of his imagination. And we could we will now go play not oh we didnt need a model. He was an illegitimate child himself and could easily relate to the feelings of such a child in this. Juliano belletti chain must have known this as leonard a friend. Took himself back to the time of his childhood. He was born in 1452 on a farm. His birth house still stands today its located in midst of an olive grove near the small Tuscan Village of vinci. The great master got his name from the small italian marriage. A church with a side chapel on the back tees 3 stands in the center of town. Leonardo was baptized here how morial stone commemorates that illegitimate leonardo was recognised as a song by his father pietro da vinci. It was always puzzling why leonardo portrayed the wife of a silk merchant in dark clothing. A silk merchant is proud. With his colorful fabrics her clothes on the other hand recall mourning and reverie if leonardo painted the image of a woman that had passed away then the dark colors make sense a smile also becomes explainable since it is directed at her own child. Giuliana to medically died before the painting was completed. Leonardo took it with him to france where debbie artist saw it and took note of it in his travelogue. Might say should i use the painting in the movie is certainly not identical to the portraits that leonardo painted of more lisa bloom deformed and more not least the real more lisa lisa delgado condo is the silk merchants wife. But where is the portrait of lisa to conduct as described by bizzare. Trace leads us to germ giacomo couple team called saliva who is said to have had a relationship with a master. Is a lie was a rapscallion but leonardo liked him anyway. He accompanied the master through his life for many travels and was his studio assistant. Who for dog lunardi books several months or weeks before by an audio left for france in 1516 sylar i returned to his hometown of melana sallai nuff. My long term son i love all children its all going by the only occasion he must have received several paintings from leonard all because one are. Slow for moodily for assumably incomplete works good mood that you didnt fancy inside the painting appears in his a state that is referred to as joconde use love to go on. Or larger conda a painting called to conduct this is how it appears in his estate. An incomplete work of the great Leonardo Da Vinci was very valuable to sell high. So lawyer theoretically. Could have completed its rights. To he was a painter trained by leonardo many paintings are attributed to him or he could have also sold them under layer not as name for a lot of money from coming. But that never happened saliva died under mysterious circumstances just a few years after leonardos own death. The incomplete portrayed of lisa condor was inside the state along with leonardos painting later in the swan. Both of these paintings were lost. In all likelihood it is the imaginary ideal image of a mother that hangs in the louvre commissioned by giuliano domenici. We must say goodbye to the mona lisa. It is the most famous painting in the bot. And the others have been studied more thoroughly on more often now the mona lisa has revealed its true face. The same face was found over and over again 20 feet of the coats of paint the face with its loving gaze and its comforting smile the image of a mother.
