According to the scientist Pascal Cott from France, he succeeded discover a new brush under the legendary canvas of Leonardo da Vinci portrait. The specialist claims that the “Mona Lisa”, considered the most famous painting in human history, hides the image of the same woman, however it is significantly different from image to which we are used to. In particular, the lady is no longer smiles and looks not at the viewer, but to the side.
The Frenchman made his discovery using the so-called light reflection technology. For ten years, an expert disguised as a tourist visited the Louvre and secretly filmed this work of art unique expensive camera that can “penetrate” inside canvas for the outer layer of paint. Modern technology supposedly allowed Pascal to capture a hidden portrait in the photo, however the scientist has not yet shared his find with the world public in a hurry. He is sure that it would be more correct if the museum management x-ray the picture and get high-quality images all its layers.
Meanwhile, the administration of the Louvre refuses at the moment comment on such statements, from which we can conclude that and investigate the “Mona Lisa” for the presence of hidden images she so far not going to. By the way, the canvas in recent decades, as allegedly repeatedly scanned by multispectral and infrared methods, however, according to official information, “Mona Lisa” does not store any secrets and hidden images. From here we can conclude: either Cott is cunning, or introduces the public to misleading museum management.
It is worth noting that many colleagues of the French researcher Skeptical of his words, but there were also those who suggested that this is an amazing find regarding the “Mona Lisa” indeed it may turn out to be true, and then it can be safely talk about the discovery of the century in the field of art.
