Hidden Symbols Of Mona Lisa
Numerous songs have been written and sung concerning the hidden secrets of Leonardo Da Vinci's most famous 16th century painting, the Mona Lisa.
A member of the National Committee for Cultural Heritage in Italy, Luigi Borgia, confirms that he has found, in an old dusty volume on the portrait, a series of numbers and letters hidden within those famously enigmatic eyes.
In one eye, the historian found LV (possibly representing the painter's initials) and in the other eye, they're still attempting to work out whether or not the figures are C and E, B and S, the number 72, or L2.
"We are only at the start of this investigation and we hope to be able to dig deeper into this mystery and reveal further details as soon as possible. It's remarkable that no-one has noticed these symbols before and from the preliminary investigations we have carried out we are confident they are not a mistake and were put there by the artist" added Borgia, when discussion the description from the 50 year old volume, about how the Mona Lisa's eyes contain numerous symbols and signs.
Da Vinci's masterpiece has long been considered to be a portrait of Lisa del Giocondo, the wife of an extremely successful silk and fabric merchant in Florence. However with these letters and possible numbers (that do not seem to add up to LG), that long held opinion may now be questioned.
While enticing and thrilling to speculate about, the figures are yet to be identified as to what exactly they are. They could be outdated and meaningless, or they could disclose the secret of the true identity of the Mona Lisa.
In 2009 Luis Martinez Otero, a neuroscientist at Institute of Neuroscience in Alicante, Spain, declared that Mona Lisa's smile no longer retained any hidden mysteries. He claimed that when you look at the famous portrait your eyes send scrambled signals to the brain, causing you to think the model is smiling one moment, but deadly serious the next.
Different cells in the retina broadcast different categories of information or "channels" to the brain. These canals program data in relation to an object's size, clarity, brightness and location in the visual field.
"Sometimes one channel wins over the other, and you see the smile, sometimes others take over and you don't see the smile," claims Otero, who carried out the study alongside Diego Alonso Pablos.
In 2005, a United States team recommended that random noise in the path from retina to visual cortex distinguishes whether or not we see a smile.
Margaret Livingstone, a neuroscientist at Harvard Medical School with a side interest in art history, confirmed in 2000, that Mona Lisa's smile is easier to see in peripheral vision, than when you are looking directly at the painting with fovea vision, (the sharp central vision).
Did Leonardo aim to sow so much confusion in the brains of viewers, not to mention scientists? Absolutely', contends one of the experts. While the left side of the mouth is in a solemn expression, some say the right side of the mouth appears to be that of a smile.
