Mona Lisa – Leonardo"Mona Lisa – Leonardo Da Vinci

in #leonardo7 years ago

Steeped in mystery, this enigmatic masterpiece has been baffling researchers and art historians for centuries. Now Italian scholars have added another layer of intrigue by announcing that Da Vinci left a series of very small letters and numbers. Viewed under a microscope, it’s possible to make out the letters LV in Mona Lisa’s right eye.

There are some more symbols in her left eye, but not as visible as the others. They resemble the letters CE, or the letter B.

The arch of the bridge in the background of the painting has an inscription that is either the number 72 or the letter L and the number 2. Behind the painting, there is the number 149 and a fourth number in the sequence that is erased.

Researchers speculate that this was probably the year when the painting was made (when Da Vinci was in Milan during the 1490's). What these numbers and letters really stand for is something that only Da Vinci knew. Da Vinci"
