The Identity of the Mona Lisa is Revealed

*SeverinaSnape:iconSeverinaSnape: reports, September 26, 2006
The riddle of who was woman behind the enigmatic symbol of femininity that is the Mona Lisa has been solved. Theorists had long held forth suppositions that ranged from the woman being DaVinci’s mother to a prostitute and finally to the artist himself in feminine form. After four centuries of fierce debate, researchers today revealed that the woman in question was a mother of five, Lisa Gherardini the wife of wealthy Florentine silk merchant Ser Francesco del Giocondo.

A French expert reported that a careful study of the painting by a team of scientists using infrared and 3-D technology revealed that the woman in the painting had just given birth to her second son at the time of the sitting. The technology enabled the scientists to see details long obscured through the many layers of paint. The dress was covered in a fine, transparent gauze veil, typically worn by Italian women in the 16th Century who were either pregnant or had just given birth. With these newly-discovered details, the painting has now been dated to 1503.

Several assumptions were turned on their head, not the least of which that the subject of the painting had been a prostitute. Bruno Mottin of the French Museums' Centre for Research and Restoration said in interviews that subject had not let her hair hang freely but in fact wore a bonnet from which only a few curls managed to escape. Allowing one’s hair to hang freely during the Renaissance was typical of young girls and women of poor virtue, hence the confusion about the identity of the woman who sat for the portrait.

Teacher Giuseppe Pallantini spent 25 years researching the connections between DaVinci family and the merchant. He discovered during his research that the Italian biographer of Renaissance artists, Giorgio Vasari, was a credible source for correctly identifying the subject of the portrait as early as 1550; Vasari had known the Giocondo family personally.

Pallantini said in the London Telegraph that Lisa Gherardini was aged about 24 when she sat for the portrait. Amongst the many documents relating to DaVinci and his most famous and enduring subject, the teacher found Ser Francesco's will in which he praised his beloved wife. He also found the birth certificates of their five children, two of whom took religious vows, were also uncovered. No record of the death of Lisa Gherardini was found, but her death is estimated to have occurred between 1540 and 1570.

Mr. Pallantini presented his research in a book which has only recently been published. While scholars are generally appreciative of his meticulous research and the conclusions drawn, some are careful to suggest that Pallantini’s findings are not absolute proof that Lisa Gherardini is the Mona Lisa – but they do come close enough to merit serious consideration.

Im going to pretend I never read that, so that I may still ponder at the mysterious shroud that envelops her. I was kind of enjoying the fact that no one knew who she was. A good mystery is nice once and awhile.

Plagerism much.

It is common place, and much more legal, to quote a portion of the article in your own words, then link to the source so we can read more. Just copy and pasting the entire article is theft.

I beg your pardon?????????????

I have not copied or pasted an entire article! Contrary to what you think some of us here are capable of reading several articles in then summarising the main points. Anyone who reads my own deviatiions can see that no only do I write features and editorials - but I actually write and edit a magazine and.

ROFL - proper news format? Well forgive me for not realising that there was one, given how much utter tosh swamps the news these days...

How are you to know? Read all of my editorials - perhaps? or is that too much like work...
