Mona Lisa Gives Away Her Secrets

Scientists this week are finally revealed more secrets behind the enigmatic painting of the Mona Lisa. The project was undertaken back in 2004 by scientists using special 3D technology that had been developed by Canada’s National Research Council. The purpose of the study was to determine more about the history and condition of the portrait as well as learn more about the painting technique that was used by da Vinci as he painted the portrait of Lisa Gherardini, wife of a Florentine merchant named Francesco de Giocondo. The findings were presented in front of a panel in Ottawa on Tuesday with the first of which being that the Mona Lisa was painted in celebration of the birth of Lisa Gherardini’s second son which dates the painting to 1503.
