The Mona Lisa’s Twin Painting Discovered

Well that was unexpected.

Damn. Also this quote is extremely interesting/true:

“It is, after all, the world’s most famous painting, but people don’t look at it fresh,” he says. “They look at it almost as an icon. If you go to the Louvre, people aren’t actually really looking at the painting; they just want to be in the same room with it. For me, the beauty of the copy is that it actually makes us look at the painting as a painting, and I hope it will have that effect on other people, too.”

So much truth in the above. It is the first time I’ve actually studied her face.

I got to see a copy of the Mona Lisa at a Da Vinci exhibition.  There is so much detail you don’t see.

Oh hai there eyebrows!
