Monalisa Painting Secrets

In this post I am going to tell you about top 5 Monalisa painting secrets. Monalisa painting was created by Leonardo da Vinci. Basically, he was the painter of Monalisa penting. Monalisa is the most famous and mysterious painting in the world. Da Vinci took about 16 years to make this painting. He made this painting from 1503 to 1519. However, he died on 02 May 1519 before the completion of the painting.

Leonardo da Vinci is the greatest painter of all time. Along with this, he was also an artist, writer, engineer, inventor, musician, sculptor, polymath, mathematician, architect, geologist and so on. If such a great person has spent such long time in making a painting, then there must be something special in it. Because of this desire, scientists and explorers tried to learn and understand the hidden Monalisa painting secrets and gave different theories about this painting. So let’s explore that theories and Monalisa painting secrets.

Top 5 Monalisa Painting Secrets

1. Who is Monalisa ?

This is most mysterious question in the Monalisa painting secrets. The truth of who is the woman of the mysterious painting of Leonardo da Vinci could not be known till date. Even Da Vinci has not mentioned anything about Monalisa in any of his works. Some people believe that this painting is of Leonardo da Vinci's mother whereas according to another theory, this painting is of Leonardo da Vinci himself. In the painting, Da Vinci portrays himself as a woman.

According to a letter founded in 2005, Francesco del Giocondo, a friend of Leonardo da Vinci, asked Da Vinci to make a painting of his wife Mona Gherardini (also known as Lisa del Giocondo) . It is said that Leonardo Da Vinci painted Mona Gherardini's painting, but because da Vinci did not like Mona Gharardini's face much, he made a new picture over Mona Gherardini's painting and named it Monalisa. Therefore, people believe that this painting of Monalisa is of Mona Gherardini. The truth came to light when it was revealed that the letter was written when Leonardo da Vinci started making Monalisa's painting, i.e. in 2003. Personally, I do not claim that Monalisa's painting is of Mona Gherardini because in fact, Mona Gherardini's face is very different from Monalisa's face. As such it is still one of the main Monalisa painting secrets.

2. Monalisa's Mysterious Smile

This is also one of the main Monalisa painting secrets. After looking carefully at Monalisa's painting, it was found that Monalisa's smile changes when viewed from different angles. According to a survey, Monalisa appears to be smiling from a distance and this smile disappears when viewed from a short distance. She looks sad on seeing Monalisa's lips carefully. It is believed that this is due to a slight compression on both the ends of his lips.

According to a scientist, we see this due to the absence of two teeth above Monalisa. It is said that Leonardo da Vinci took 12 years to make Monalisa's lips only. In the year 2020, a neuro scientist said that Monalisa's smile does not change, but the viewer's mind changes. He said that Monalisa will look like as you want to see her.

3. Hidden Message in Monalisa Painting

According to a theory, Leonardo da Vinci has hidden a message in the Italian language in his painting that is "LA RISPOSTA SI TROVA QUI" which means "The answer is here". However, people believed this when a website claimed that an alien is hidden in that painting. According to this website, after linking the real and mirror image of Monalisa from the left end, a picture of an alien appears in it. The thing to think about is that the alien was found next to the one where those words were written. These Monalisa painting secrets still surprise the scientists.

4. Journey of Monalisa Painting

As we know, Leonardo da Vinci created Monalisa painting by 1519 and Da Vinci died as well. In 1530, this painting was shown in a semi public art gallery in Fontainebleau. For a short time, this painting remained in the room of a French ruler Napolean Bonapart.

In 1797, this painting was found at the Louvre Museum in Paris. But the thing to think is that no one knows how this painting came there. This is also one of the monalisa painting secrets. After this, on 21 August 1911, painting was stolen from the museum. You will be surprised to know that another famous painter Pablo Picasso was accused of stealing the painting. But after investigation, this charge was dropped from him.

The painting was stolen by Vincenzo Perugia, an employee of that museum. He was a patriotic citizen of Italy. This was revealed when he was going to sell the painting to the director of a famous museum in Italy. He did this because he believed that this painting was made by the great Italian painter Leonardo da Vinci, so it should be shown in the Museum of Italy. He was briefly jailed for this theft but in Italy he was respected for his patriotism.

5. Monna Lisa

The real name of Monalisa is Monna Lisa which means 'My Lady'. Many people tried to destroy this painting of Monalisa by throwing acid and hitting it with stones. After all this Monalisa painting was kept in even more security and even today this painting is kept safe in Louvre Museum. Apart from this, there are many fans of Monalisa. Many can even die for her mysterious smile and many have died.

(Do you know that Monalisa painting is not made on any paper. Leonardo da Vinchi made it on a small piece of wood. This is one of the Monalisa painting secrets which many people do not know.)
