he except of the commission at a time in which he had no work is it that he introduced himself to the merchant who wanted a painting of his wife and simply agreed then he painted only the head. dates that he interrupted the work for other commissions and left it all on finished never delivering the painting to the merchant not even the head. there are no traces of this painting in florence with the traces left by the most incompetent must be available in the archives in one documents old testament that you do with that the decreased and yet this painting by leonardo shows up with no way to the. usual day stanley if we had finished the painting and admitted then a record within the family would exist in a painting by a famous artist like me or not oh it was a very valuable commodity at this. they left for me i became editor disappeared

we know absolutely nothing about this but he. says that's true they meet the. hasn't really been lost. as described by her sorry last is the painting in the louvre a different one. much about leonardo who seems unexplainable today very few artists have captivated people's imaginations as he has. one reason for this is that he started so many paintings that he never finished like that of st jerome in the wilderness. yet these works count among art history's most famous.

as with the end a ration of the magi leonardo often lost interest in his paintings after he solved challenges of figuration and compositional finishing the pieces became too tedious . this was also the case for the fresco for the council hall of palace so vecchio. it was to become his largest walk commissioned by the city government leonardo chose the battle of hungary ari has his motif leonardo received the commission in $1503.00 the same period during which he worked on lisa condo's portrait. restless as he was leonardo left even the biggest project the florence commissioned incomplete is it plausible that he behaved similarly when when he said i'm bending it only to finish it later motor probably made it is very likely that blaine otto

puts the painting aside. he didn't finish it and never delivered it it was most likely completed at a later time i need. to let a.z. so i think that's this theory in which the painting was begun in 1503 and finished later is the most plausible and it's also the one i personally believe and we'll put it i mean. when did leonardo finish the painting. let's assume in old age among after he started it. 'd then leonardo must have carried the painting with him throughout much of his life.

if there was such a time span between the start and the completion of the painting then we can determine that with today's modern methods. and again modern technology has a go at the mona lisa. the results show that the color pigments were applied without significant interruption. using infrared technology historians searched for over painted areas corrections. the genius leonardo made hardly a single correction from the 1st brush stroke to the finished piece. the only overpainting occurred on mona lisas left hand here leonardo corrected the gesture of her finger. aside from that the painting was made in

one session an unbelievable achievement by the master. according to our historian alexander pairing these discoveries further confound the mona lisa theory . the gold soon to sue the entire study confirms the absurdity of the identity of the loo for painting or a painting depicting more lisa would be moved to move more lowly so we see that. it was determines that a painterly process was fairly continuous and going to a new release or fall of to remove he would have had to paint it in 2 completely separate stages to sweden and when booge would clearly be identified with today's methods and tools. of all the 1st stone for all of them who'd gone to lunch of the landscape it would have had to have been you since

s.r.t. didn't mention one at all but i know long soft. the great biog. as in another aspect as well. in describing the mona lisa he talks about her eyelashes which could be rendered only by the most delicate of brushes on her brows you witnessed them at their fullest and spacek and how they emerge from the pores of her skin and art is not really as one can only imagine. but the mona lisa that hangs in the louvre today has neither eyelashes no eyebrows . these are also not detectable using relief imaging. for sorry one of the main attests to the mona lisa fieri never saw the painting himself. know larry. bizzare it didn't have any written

sources for his biography is based on mia oral recounts that circulated in florence . at. ask lee yet trade back that if he got it pushed up this means he wrote part of the history of drug condoms portrays the mona lisa or based on such oral accounts the passed from person to person. who he never saw the painting this door he described what he invented that those he to do. but from where does the painting in the louvre stand are there to portray one of them lost. this new idea takes us to the end was on the want prompts.

me another died here in 1519 and the advanced age of 67. the chapel in which he was in tune is located directly next to the king chateau. leonardo came to and was by invitation of the french king francis the 1st by them the artistic genius had already achieved cult status. leonardo lived in a manner next to the chateau called clue you see. an incident occurred in the small frenchmen that steers the mona lisa investigation in an entirely new and revolutionary direction. leonardo brought 3 paintings with him the wonder today is referred to as the mona lisa

a painting of some drum baptist and that was some downloads that he stayed in this manner in crusade where you also had a studio. at the. the chronic liar antonio to beatus witnessed cardinal law drag of arrogance visit with leonardo enclosed to say on october the 10th $1517.00 he relates the 3 paintings he saw and the aging masters. one of the works is of a certain florentine lady painted from life that was made in on all of the passing of giuliano do many another one is of the young same germ the baptist the 3rd of madonna with her child seated on st anna's lap the latter was the most perfect of

them all. today the painting of st anna with maria and baby jesus on her lap is housed in the louvre. so too is the painting that b. artist described of st john the baptist. is the painting that was made for juliana . also in the louvre is it the mona lisa. equired roe for the brain injury was commissioned in rome by jury are no more dimiter. as a result of an affair he had with a woman from the will be no reality made you figure brown danny or. rather your question the government and.

'd 'd the new name surfaces magic to. the ruling family of florence this name is most associated with a renaissance period they were rich scrupulous obsessed with power and patrons of the arts. giuliano domenici was one of the 2 brothers that lived during divinities time. he was a womanizer and to squander. he was charismatic had a powerful name and an influential brother. his brother lived in rome his name was given to me there may be change and he had

high aspirations later he became cardinal and finally pope. as pope clear the tent he made history as a sensitive our patron as well as a scrupulous and powerful politician. he strengthened the clergy's power and influence over the battling italian city states and had a weakness for the beautiful things in life. giuliano he's extravagant brother arrived in or be no but he was a guest of the class so do karla. here he had several chambers known as the magnificence quarter.

was a poet he had been raised by his father lorenzo who was a great writer he wrote poetry and was interested in women having the slightest interest in politics not everyone is truly full. leonis rather was a great politician the exact opposite. that he was wrong about everything. and it is great passion was politics. i was an avid hunter. but he made the top dog pen a politician oh w.v. . jovani domenici pope leo the tent took care of his brother giuliani

throughout his life he also financed his extravagant lifestyle. giuliano had come closer fast. but one of these flames had serious consequences. in the marker region the pulitzer to color looms over the town. the tragedy involving giuliani to many that would eventually lead to the mona lisa took place. but that the most important source is a document that is housed in the library of the university of you know and this document is a page in a book of foundling liberally yes both. records

were found in the university library of a beano regarding a certain politics. and politics would later become cardinal but was poisoned of the age of $24.00. but he was born off. how did he acquire the name. who were his parents. for the record was documented birth how he became. i'm an orphan. and later a medic. the name of his mother also appears jessica brown downey a young woman from beano. not much is known about but if

a burn dani she was a guest of the blog to do karla by imitation of giuliano. it is unclear if she offered him her labors of love if he said used or as recorded by one of the documents was raped. in any case she spends a night because giuliana. and there's likely in voluntarily. but how should she have opposed the rich route. in.

she was plagued with severe remorse after her affair with giuliana. some sources stated that she was married at the time. dunny fell into a crisis the deep end when she found out that she was with child. a child out of wedlock from a brief encounter in the court of beano. and . then as she drew up a terrible plan. she confided in a friend a midwife that she didn't want the child and though she could not take the disgrace . a midwife should kill the new born in case president he dies in childbirth.

danny did in fact i hope you up real fever. but the midwife didn't take the newborns life. on april the 19th $1511.00 the night before easter sunday she dropped the child off on the steps of the sun ticky are a judge and it will be enough. the baby wrapped in a white sheet was giuliano so. he had a coin on him as a token of his heritage in the absence of a legitimate heir giuliana domenici recognized him as his son he named him

a politician. giuliani left to be with his son a pottle a move to his brother the pope in rome. leonardo da vinci resided in the chambers of the vatican where he worked for the medicis during this time. but commissions from the pope was boss here giuliano must have given him the commission of which leonardo rights including. leonardo was to paint a painting to comfort a little politics. it badly you said earlier motto to paint may have picked are of a mother that i can give to my some is an image of his mother that at daulat am you're free to enter as you imagine how a portrait of a mother shuttle flight

a mere nado painted the painting that we call mona lisa today a little that. it must have been a great challenge to paint an image of a mother for upon attack. since he suffered a similar fate because of politics. he too was an illegitimate child who was recognized by his father. his mother didn't die in childbirth she was his father's maid and he probably used her dependency on him for labors of love as had giuliano with his mistress friend danny.

and leonardo shared a similar fate and this inspired leonardo to paint a painting that up held the memory of a mother and. the painting should lend comfort to young politician who himself never saw his mother. he undoubtably painted the image of. an aunt so he develops the portrait out of his imagination. into we could we will now go play in our toes we didn't need a model. he was an illegitimate child himself and could easily relate to the feelings of such a child. in this. juliano belletti chain must have known this house lay in our friend on our little. leonardo took himself back to the time of his childhood. he was born in

1452 on a farm. his birth house still stands today it's located in midst of an olive grove near the small tuscan village of ancient. the great master got his name from the small italian village. church with a side chapel on the back tees 3 stones in the center of town. leonardo was baptized here how memorial stone commemorates that illegitimately another was recognized as a son by his father pineiro da vinci. it was always puzzling why leonardo portrayed the wife of

a silk merchant in dark clothing a silk merchant is proud. of his colorful fabrics her clothes on the other hand recall mourning and reverie if leonardo painted the image of a woman that had passed away then the dark colors make sense a smile also becomes explainable since it is directed at her own child. giuliana to meditate he died before the painting was completed. leonardo took it with him to france where debbie artist saw it and took note of it in his travelogue . mitzi should i use the painting in the louvre is certainly not identical to the portraits that's leonardo painted of more lisa deformed and more not least the real is more

lisa lisa delgado condo is the silk merchant's wife. but where is the portrait of lisa to conduct as described by over sorry. to trace leads us to german giacomo couple team called saliva who is said to have had a relationship with the master. is a lie was a rapscallion leonardo liked him anyway. he accompanied the master through his life for many travels and was his studio assistant. before long lunardi doing several months or weeks before léonard over left for france in 1516

sallai returned to his hometown of milan not. my long term sun i'm up all sort of it's all going to be on the occasion he must have received several paintings from layer not all. slow for move presumably in complete works. uniforms inside the painting appears in his a state that is referred to as joconde. lotto homegrown. conda a painting called to conduct this is how it appears in his estate. an incomplete work of the great leonardo da vinci was very valuable to sal i. so lawyer theoretically. could have completed it right.

he was a painter trained by leonardo many paintings are attributed to him or he could have also sold them underlayer not as name for a lot of money from cloning. but that never happened so live died under mysterious circumstances just a few years after leonardo's own death. the incomplete portrayed on a condo was in salis estate along with leonardo's painting lay down the swan. both of these paintings were lost. in all likelihood it is the imaginary ideal image of a mother that hangs in the louvre commissioned by giuliano domenici. we must say goodbye to the mona lisa.

it is the most famous painting in the wild. other has been studied more thorough only on more often than the mona lisa has revealed its true face. the same face was found over and over again in a feature of the coats of paint the face with its loving gaze and its comforting smile the image of a mom. moved. to
