Is the Mona Lisa really smiling all the time? Expert: Looking at it backwards, you don't think so
Leonardo da Vinci, born in Italy during the Renaissance, covered the fields of drawing, painting, sculpture, architecture, science, music, mathematics, engineering, literature, anatomy, geology, astronomy, botany, paleontology and cartography. So, there's a reason why I can become one of the greatest painters the world has ever produced.
Mention the name Leonardo da Vinci, and you immediately think of the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper. Among them, the Mona Lisa is the most well-known, the painting mainly shows the typical image of elegance and tranquility of women, shaping the image of a woman of the urban propertied class during the rise of capitalism. Don't think it's a simple painting that contains a lot of weird puzzles. Crazy people for it, countless. The Mona Lisa is Da Vinci's favorite work, and the author has kept it with him during his lifetime. It was not until after da Vinci's death that King Francis I of France bought it from leonardo da Vinci's disciples for twelve thousand livers (the name of the French gold coin). Since then, the work has been in the collection of the Louvre museum in France. The number of people who come to the Louvre to admire the Works of the Mona Lisa every year is about 6 million. Since the Mona Lisa represents the aesthetic direction of the Renaissance, it has long been more than just an ordinary masterpiece painted on a black poplar board, 77 cm in length and 53 cm in width, the posture of the Mona Lisa has been sublimated into a sacred symbol, a manifestation of a lofty and meticulous ideal in the hearts of the returners of the heart and the awakened.
From the painting, the Mona Lisa has been smiling, this kind of laughter, very natural, very deep, even very strange. It should be known that "Mona Lisa" is not the name of the woman in the painting, and Leonardo da Vinci's painting is actually the wife of a silk supplier who painted it, because this supplier is a family friend of Leonardo da Vinci's father, so he will gladly accept this invitation and paint this famous painting. I don't know if you have noticed that the Mona Lisa portrait has no eyebrows and eyelashes, but the wonderful thing is that the overall appearance is so harmonious. Just looking at Mona Lisa's mouth, you will think that she is not laughing much. But when you look at her eyes again, combined with the shadows on her cheeks, you will feel that she is smiling again. This is where the mastery of the painter lies, and this is the source of his magic. After expert research, it was 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. Let's refocus on the Mona Lisa painting, which sits on a semicircular wooden chair with a railing separating the figures and the background, with roads, rivers, bridges, and mountains in the background, which blend with the Mona Lisa's smile under da Vinci's unbounded gradient coloring, exuding a dreamy and mysterious atmosphere. 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.
By the mid-17th century, da Vinci's name and the Mona Lisa began to appear frequently, and Banel Tang, who had compiled a catalogue of works of art at fontainebleau, called the Mona Lisa "the painting of the painting, second to none". Girgio Vasari, biographer of Leonardo da Vinci, also said: "The Mona Lisa is exquisite and impressive to the viewer. From the perspective of painting art alone, Leonardo da Vinci also made sufficient efforts when creating this oil painting. Mona Lisa Oil Painting: The work goes through four stages: the first layer is a sketch of a portrait of an unknown object; in the second layer, da Vinci covers the original draft with a portrait of a pearl hair ornament. The third floor is the Portrait of Lisa Gladini, created in 1503, in which the Mona Lisa looks to the left and smiles, which is the standard portrait of the time. On the fourth floor, there is the Mona Lisa oil painting: the face is slightly turned to the right, and even the gaze is to the right. The success of "Mona Lisa" may be able to leave it to future generations to continue to reverie. American amateur painter Ron Pisilio even found many animal figures in the background of the painting, such as lions, apes and so on. Some people, after infinitely enlarging the painting, found that there were mysterious letters in her eyes.
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. The pictures in the text come from the Internet, if there is infringement, please contact to delete!
