We all know that the painting "Mona Lisa's Smile" is the famous work of the famous painter Leonardo da Vinci! But you know what? This painting, which has been popular for hundreds of years, once killed a French artist!
In 1852, a French artist was enchanted by the painting and decided to commit suicide by jumping off a building, adding a new layer of mystery to the painting. A suicide note was found in the French artist's home, which pointed directly to the Mona Lisa. The artist confesses that the mysterious smile tormented him to the point of exhaustion, which eventually led him to the end of his life.
Mona Lisa is a transliteration of the English word "Mona Lisa", meaning "Lady Lisa". It is understood that the lady in the painting may be Lisa Çorcondo, who married a wealthy florentine merchant named Giocondo, who was only 19 years old at the time. But is she the prototype of the lady in Mona Lisa's painting? Not sure, after all, this is just one of those claims.
There is also a theory that the woman in the painting was pregnant when she modeled for the painting, because the woman in the painting looks slightly fat, with her hands alternately on her abdomen, but she does not wear a ring, in order to hide the secret of pregnancy. Leonardo da Vinci himself was an illegitimate child, probably wanting to confide in his lonely life. But if the Mona Lisa is pregnant before marriage, why does it feel like she is smiling all the time? There is no sadness or distress? In this regard, experts said: Please look at it backwards, you don't think so.
Experts have found that Mona Lisa's smile is complex, containing 83% happiness, 9% disgust, 6% fear, and 2% anger. I have to say that experts are professionals, and even the content of each expression is calculated so accurately.
The weirdest thing is that when the Mona Lisa is turned upside down and looked at, her smile has disappeared, but there is a terrifying feeling of "when you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you".
The inverted Mona Lisa, the eyes are squinting, full of elusive boundless darkness, one more look, as if it will run out of a group of demons, devouring everything in front of you. The legend about the devil behind the "Mona Lisa" is also a god. Nothing more than to express a meaning, the Mona Lisa is really weird.
What the world sees is Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece, in fact, before the creation of the Mona Lisa, there was one, the Elworth Mona Lisa oil painting has a very similar appearance, clothing, gestures and mysterious smile to the Mona Lisa, but it is younger.
These strange questions may have been deliberately left by Leonardo da Vinci. Or maybe the research is too deep, and there is an accidental phenomenon. However, looking at the painting backwards, she really did not smile anymore.
In the mid-17th century, da Vinci's name and the Mona Lisa began to appear frequently, and some people once called the Mona Lisa "the painting within the picture, the first". Later, The biographer of "Da Vinci" Girgio also said: "The mona Lisa is a masterpiece that impresses the viewer. ”
The passage of time has taken away these once amazing people, but left countless puzzles waiting for posterity to be revealed, perhaps our speculation is true, perhaps completely deviated from the truth, but on this road of exploring the truth, our tireless footsteps are never stopped!
