In addition, Mona Lisa's eyebrows disappeared due to chemical reaction, and blue sky appeared in the background. According to research, Mona Lisa's smile contains 83% happiness, 9% disgust, 6% fear and 2% anger.

Prototype mystery

For more than 500 years, historians have been arguing about the prototype of Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting Mona Lisa. Especially the mysterious smile on the face of the person in the painting is the mystery of people's speculation. Recently, Usep Palanti, an ordinary teacher in Florence, Italy, put forward a new view that the Mona Lisa is a "housewife" with five children.

According to the Daily Telegraph 1, Palanti studied the archives of Florence for 25 years, and then came to the conclusion that the prototype of Mona Lisa was lisa gherardini, the wife of a friend of Leonardo da Vinci's father and a housewife with five children.

According to Palanti's research, Lisa married Francesco Giocondo, a Florentine silk merchant, when she was 1495 and 16 years old, and Giocondo was a good friend and neighbor of Leonardo's father Piero. Lisa is Giocondo's second wife. The couple have a good relationship and have five children. Giocondo said in his will that Lisa was his "beloved" and "loyal" wife.

Palanti believes that The Portrait of Mona Lisa was completed when Lisa was 24 years old. Leonardo da vinci's father arranged everything and paid his son to paint this picture for his friend's wife. At that time, Leonardo da Vinci was troubled by a financial dispute. His father probably wanted to help his son in this way.

In the legend about the prototype of Mona Lisa, some people say that the person in the painting was a famous prostitute in Florence at that time, while others say that the person in the painting is a self-portrait of Leonardo da Vinci himself. Last year, an American professor named Xie Wen Newland claimed that he had discovered the real secret behind Mona Lisa's smile. Mona Lisa always has a smile on her face, because the owner in the painting happened to be pregnant when she was a model of Leonardo da Vinci. This is a mother's mysterious smile when a new life is about to be born.

At present, Palanti is compiling her research results into a book during the summer vacation and plans to publish it in August.

Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa was originally painted in the Louvre in Paris. But for hundreds of years, collectors have claimed that they have collected more than 60 Mona Lisa paintings.
