This video is my experiment with the Louvre and Prado Mona Lisa overlays, only for the search of her true appearance. Enjoy!

It is believed that the Louvre "Mona Lisa" and the Prado "Mona Lisa" were painted together at the same time. Each artist would have sat side by side and had a slightly different perspective of the sitter. The question was asked if Leonardo intentionally planned to do this to create the first stereoscophic 3D image if the two paintings were overlaid.

Of course not! That is ridiculous! Who could overlay a painting on panel in the Middle Ages?? Only now is this done easily through photography and digital art.

Of course, it does stand to reason that the two paintings could/should create a sort of 3D effect if done by two artists sitting side by side in the same studio. Under those circumstances, the same would be true of any number of studio portraits from that time period. But, how could this be intentional rather than just being a result of natural course, considering the above argument about overlaying wood panels in the Middle Ages?

There is one relevant question that is being over looked, and should be asked .... why are there more than one paintings of "Mona Lisa" if this was indeed merely a silk merchant's wife? Also, why are there even more "Mona Lisas" contemporaneous to da Vinci's painting? ... as rumored, even some locked away in vaults? Conclusion: She had to be a person of higher significance, as the colors of her dress indicate, as clearly seen in the Prado painting.

Leonardo Da Vinci was hired to paint the royal members of the great Milanese court for over 17 years. (OVER SEVENTEEN YEARS!) He started his academy at that time under the mighty Sforza dynasty in Milan. Considering this fact alone, we must conclude much is missing when we account for the paintings attributed to Leonardo da VInci.

Many people are in love with the question "Who is Mona Lisa", and will therefore never succumb to reason, nor ever come to see that the story of the silk merchant's wife must have been a fabrication to safe-guard a big secret. Therefore, understanding the question of "Who is 'Mona Lisa?', is only for those who are not afraid to think for themselves. For the rest, well, they are faithfully following the trail left by Leonardo, himself, to never find the "needle in the haystack". Clever, that Leonardo! It has worked for over 500 years!

As historian and author of the Middle Ages, Maike.Vogt-Lüerssen says, "Critical thinking about this painting has become a rarity."
