1951April During his visit to Spain, Franco, the head of state, personally held an exhibition of paintings at the airport, and 200,000 Madrid citizens dressed as Don Quixote greeted him with songs and dances.

1954 10, British prime minister Winston Churchill sent six special planes and 300 flight attendants to welcome back to London from Paris. The French government made an exception and allowed Churchill to touch the painting with his fingers three times after repeated cleaning and strict disinfection. Churchill, the great man of the century, has crossed the ocean, but when he kissed the Mona Lisa, he couldn't control his trembling fingers.

Mona Lisa goes to the scientific research department for a "physical examination" every six months. At that time, 30 police cars will whistle to clear the way, and more than 200 burly men will be surrounded by live ammunition, which is comparable to the Queen.

(2) Fans of Mona Lisa

King Francis I of France sent someone to buy it at a high price five times (the last bid was 50 thousand gold coins), but none of them got what they wanted. After the death of Leonardo da Vinci, this painting was acquired by French King Louis XIII. He hung the Mona Lisa on the "family training hall" in the palace and let several princesses imitate the smiles on the painting all day.

Napoleon hung the Mona Lisa in his bedroom and went to pay homage silently every morning and evening. Sometimes he stands in front of the painting for a long time and gets carried away.

Whenever Charles de Gaulle encounters a thorny problem or gets upset, he drives to the Louvre. When he came out of the Mona Lisa exhibition hall, he smiled and all his earlier troubles disappeared.

(3) Mona Lisa's eyebrows

There are several speculations about why the Mona Lisa has no eyebrows and eyelashes:

1. At that time, women had a generous fashion to shave their eyebrows. Leonardo da vinci didn't draw Lisa's eyebrows, which gave the portrait the beauty of a marble statue.

2. It may be the sequela of pituitary necrosis caused by excessive bleeding during delivery.

3. It turned out that there were eyebrows, and the collectors peeled off the paint because of a long time when cleaning.

French engineer Kohler designed a high-resolution digital scanner, which used 13 different color filters and various technologies including ultraviolet and infrared rays to scan a high-definition photo of Mona Lisa in Juck Zhang. This 2.4-megapixel photo penetrated through multiple layers of oil paints and finally found an eyebrow of the Mona Lisa.

(4) Mona Lisa's eyes

1. The researchers found that the Mona Lisa's right eye was slightly smaller than her left. Some even think that one is a woman and the other is a man.

A Japanese cardiologist said that he found a macula on Mona Lisa's left eye, which is a sign of high cholesterol. Experts say the Mona Lisa should have died of a myocardial infarction.

(5) Mona Lisa's lips

1. Susan Gill, a Canadian art historian, found that the Mona Lisa's lips that attracted countless audiences were a man's bare back.

Leonardo da Vinci is left-handed and used to write backwards from right to left. Others have to use the mirror to read what he wrote. Therefore, using the mirror is also a way for the audience to look at the picture. After 90-degree rotation, Mona Lisa's lips in the mirror are just the back of a chiseled strong man, the corner of her left arm and elbow.

Mona Lisa's lips are tight because she speaks irregularly. The oral surgeon said that Mona Lisa smiled implicitly because she wanted to cover up the defect of missing canine teeth, which led to Mona Lisa's unique "straight" lip line: the upper lip turned inward, the corner of the mouth collapsed, and the face between the nose and the corner of the mouth was flat, instead of the graceful and curved lip line under the normal chin.

(6) Mona Lisa's hairstyle

A research team in Canada claimed that three-dimensional images generated by laser scanning found that the original Mona Lisa was combed into a bun and wore a bonnet, and only a few curls of hair leaked out of the hat. This discovery solved a long-debated problem. Because in Italy in the16th century, only young girls or misbehaving women put their hair on their shoulders, and the real Mona Lisa is a woman with social status, so it may have changed Mrs. Lisa's hairstyle in the later revision process.

(7) Mona Lisa's hand

In addition to having the most mysterious smiling lips in the world, Mona Lisa's noble, slender and beautiful ivory carved hands are also eternal classics in portrait art. What surprises researchers is the posture of her left hand. After laser scanning, it was found that Mona Lisa was wearing maternity clothes through the paint coating, and her hands were pressed against her slightly bulging abdomen under the fuzzy blanket.

(8) The prototype of Mona Lisa

1. Mona Lisa is a friend and neighbor of Leonardo da Vinci's father Pieno, and Pieno is the third wife of Florentine banker and fur dealer Zogondo. Leonardo da vinci's father arranged everything and paid his son to paint this picture for his friend's wife. At that time, Leonardo was troubled by a financial dispute, and his father probably wanted to help his son in this way. This is the most popular statement, and the Louvre has always supported it.

2. A German art history expert claimed that the Mona Lisa was a famous Italian prostitute named Katrina sforza, nicknamed Tigris. Is the illegitimate daughter of the Duke of Milan, born in 1462. Leonardo da Vinci captured the smile of a professional seducer.

The woman in the painting is Leonardo da Vinci's confidante and secret crush, the Duchess of Milan, a "woman troubled by love". The characters in Mona Lisa wear mourning clothes without jewelry, which is related to the death of the Duchess of Milan's mother during Leonardo da Vinci's painting. In addition, the clothes worn by the people in the painting are also printed with the Forza family logo, which is the same as the background of the Duchess of Milan.

4. Lillian Schwartz of Bell Laboratories superimposed the self-portraits of Mona Lisa and Leonardo da Vinci on the computer, and found that the contours of their eyes, hairline and nose can completely coincide. Schwartz finally concluded that Mona Lisa is a self-portrait of Leonardo da Vinci.

Mona Lisa is hermaphrodite and an ideal combination of human nature in Leonardo da Vinci's mind. Equal integration of men and women. Etymologically, the male reproductive god in ancient Egypt was called Amon, and the female reproductive god was called Lisa. If you play a little game, together, it becomes MonaLisa. Mona Lisa is really bisexual, so his or her smile is as attractive as anyone!

Mona Lisa smile

1. Why is Mona Lisa's hazy smile so mysterious? Researchers at the Smith Cantwell Institute in San Francisco believe that this actually stems from random interference with our visual system. They made a digital portrait of Mona Lisa, and randomly increased or decreased the "visual noise" on it-similar to snowflakes seen on TV with poor signal. The result is very interesting: when the "visual noise" in Mona Lisa's mouth is eliminated, she looks much happier, but when the noise in her mouth is eliminated, she looks a little sad. Researchers believe that it is this that makes Mona Lisa's expression changeable and mysterious.

2. Margaret Livingstone, a neurobiologist at Harvard Medical School, believes that Mona Lisa's mysterious smile is not so much related to the painter's painting skills as to the dislocation of her eyes. The human visual system has two observation areas, one is responsible for color discrimination and observing bright spots, and the other is responsible for black and white and observing shadows and movements. When appreciating the Mona Lisa, people first pay attention to the eyes of the characters. When the central area of the observer's eyes is on Mona Lisa's eyes, the line of sight of the "peripheral area" will fall on her mouth, thus feeling a smile. However, when directly observing Mona Lisa's mouth, the central area of the human eye will not notice the shadow, so "people will never see a smile from her mouth." From this, Livingstone came to the conclusion that Mona Lisa's smile is hidden, which is entirely due to the effect of the observer's eyes swimming on her face.

3. The Computer University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, used an "emotion recognition" software to process Mona Lisa's facial expression through the computer, and concluded that Mona Lisa's expression included 83% joy, 9% boredom, 6% fear and 2% anger.
