Did da Vinci paint Mona Lisa nude?
Did da Vinci paint Mona Lisa nude? A painting has recently surfaced after being hid away for years that reveals a very Mona Lisa-esque painting of a nude woman. After being passed down through history by Napoleon's kinfolk the painting was discovered in the wall of a private library. The painting has similar characteristics of Mona Lisa - similar hand position, background, technique, and she's even sandwhiched between two columns...
The painting was attributed to da Vinci as recently as 1845 but many experts say that the painting is probably not by da Vinci. But it could be master copy of an original nude Mona Lisa. "There are at least six nude versions which are very close to da Vinci's hand. All are attributed to the da Vinci school. The most likely scenario is that his followers got inspired by a now-lost original," says expert Alessandro Vezzosi.
Here's the link to the original story: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31320879/ns/technology_and_science-science/

I'm amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I encounter a blog that's both equally educative and engaging, and
without a doubt, you've hit the nail on the head. The problem is something which not enough people are speaking intelligently about. Now i'm
very happy that I came across this during my search for something relating to this.
