I was captivated by this amazing story, Lisa Gherardini, the real Mona Lisa. She was a very beautiful woman. Thank you for your research and writing this story. I have been called the Mona Lisa half my life because people said that I looked like the painting and have been stopped at airports and museums to have my picture taken. It was a nuisance when I was younger, but then got curious on why this picture was so famous. Thank you for this info.
Hi, I recently read an article about the Mona Lisa painting, in which the painting was examined using up to date scientific methods. The varnish that was put on it after five hundred years made the painting look green. In addition and early restorer wiped of the eyebrows and eyelashes. I just finished painting a copy of the Mona in the manner of how it may have looked years ago.
If you look like the real Mona, than my compliments to you as she was very beautiful. Thank you for this most interesting exposition of this famous lady and artist.

While the woman in the painting is no longer alive, she is believed to have been Lisa Gherardini. Lisa's husband wanted to celebrate their new home and new baby boy with a painting, so he requested that Da Vinci paint his wife to decorate their home.

Autumn: Florentine antique dealer, Alfredo Geri, prepares an exhibition and places an advertisement in several Italian newspapers stating that he is "a buyer at good prices of art objects of every sort. November Geri receives a letter with a Paris postmark in response to his ad, from a man calling himself "Leonardo Vincenzo," who says he has the Mona Lisa in his possession and wishes to restore the painting to Italy.
December Vincenzo Perugia a. Perugia opens a trunk and removes the Mona Lisa , which had been hidden under a false bottom. Perugia is immediately arrested. December: Mona Lisa is displayed at the Uffizi, then is sent on a tour of the museums of Italy before being sent back to France. June: Perugia is placed on trial in Florence, where he gains popularity as a patriot for returning Mona Lisa to Italy.
Twice widowed, Francesco del Giocondo married a young woman named Lisa in It is this story that gave the little painting, measuring 30 inches x 21 inches, its name.
Another theory is that the young woman in the picture is no other than a mistress of Giuliano de' Medici, ruler of the Republic of Florence. The mystery has never been solved. The Mona Lisa became popular with the general public when it was famously stolen in The press jumped on the event: people wanted to know who could have stolen the Mona Lisa painting, why, and above all how.
The painting was found, and the guilty party was an overly nationalistic Italian named Vincenzo Peruggia , who had intended to return the work to his home country.
