The Mona Lisa has yet another mystery.

Utilizing X-rays to analyze the chemical composition of a small fragment from this famous masterpiece, researchers have uncovered novel insights into the artistic methods Leonardo da Vinci used when creating the Mona Lisa.

Mona Lisa is a painting portrait of a woman with a deeply enigmatic smile.

Is there a mystery behind the Mona Lisa?

Meanwhile, the identity of the Mona Lisa herself became mythologized. Often thought to be Lisa del Giocondo, the wife of a wealthy Florentine merchant, the lack of commission from her husband has raised doubts about the model’s identity.

Some have romanticized her as a mysterious seductress.

Leonardo da Vinci loved to experiment, and each of his paintings was completely different technically.

X-RAYS.
