Who the Mona Lisa Is
"I am quite sure that the painting's subject is Leonardo's mother Caterina in a distant memory. She died in 1495. Lisa del Giocondo's job was to be the model only.
1. During Italian Renaissance Leonardo's time, it was not acceptable to paint ordinary people, only important people or saints. 2. The woman appearing in the portrait known as Isabella d'Este (1499 - 1500) is actually Leonardo's mother Caterina in distant memory. The woman appearing in the portrait looks like the Mona Lisa and not like Isabella d'Este. See: Titian, Isabella d'Este, 1534 – 1536. They do not have the same forehead and lips. 3. This cartoon which has survived must have been drawn for an important work. See the cartoon in London, National Gallery. The only possible important work we are aware of is the Mona Lisa. See also the veil and the upper dress cut, rounded and not in straight lines. 4. Thus, Leonardo glorifies his mother as a respectable woman.
I reached these conclusions during my research about Leonardo's art. Roni Kempler" |
