**** Mona Lisa on show in Vinci
5, 000 works in largest exhibition on Da Vinci muse
(ANSA)
- Florence,
June 12, 2009
A 16th-century painting of a **** Mona Lisa once attributed to Leonardo Da Vinci will go on show for the first time on Saturday as part of a sweeping new exhibition opening near Florence.
Over 5,000 works inspired by the original Mona Lisa including paintings, sculptures, etchings and new media images spanning five centuries will be on display at the Museo Ideale in Leonardo's hometown of Vinci for the show, the largest ever held on the mysterious muse.
Experts have succeeded in establishing that the **** Mona Lisa once belonged to Napoleon Bonaparte's uncle, Cardinal Joseph Fesch (1763-1839) - a major collector who also owned Leonardo's painting of St Jerome now in the Vatican Museums.
Another **** will also go on show but investigations into its history are continuing.
Curated by Agnese Sabato and Alessandro Vezzosi under the supervision of the world's top Leonardo expert Carlo Pedretti, the exhibition will also reveal the latest spectacular scientific data from experts researching the original Mona Lisa housed in the Louvre in Paris.
The show is divided into two sections.
The first explores the history of the Mona Lisa, including dating problems and the identity of the smiling model, but also displays sculptures and etchings inspired by the painting from the 16th to the 20th centuries.
The second section is dedicated to so-called Leonardismo and highlights how the Mona Lisa became an icon in literature, graphic design and on the internet.

ENDLESS THEORIES.
Unlike most Renaissance portraits, Leonardo's original Mona Lisa (mona is the standard Italian contraction for madonna, or ''my lady,'') bears no date or signature, nor is the name of the sitter given.
These omissions, coupled with the sitter's mysterious close-lipped smile, have helped spawn endless theories about the woman's identity.
Various contemporary court beauties and noblewomen have been put forward, including Isabella d'Este and Isabella Gualanda, while some have concluded that she was Leonardo's mother.
Other academics argue that the sitter was one of his favourite young lovers disguised as a woman.
Such theorists note that da Vinci never relinquished the painting, keeping it with him up until his death in Amboise, France in 1519.
There is in fact no evidence that da Vinci was paid for the portrait or that it was ever delivered.
The Mona Lisa's strange smile has also led to endless speculation and theories, some of the most curious provided by medical experts-cum-art lovers.
One group of medical researchers has maintained that the sitter's mouth is so firmly shut because she was undergoing mercury treatment for syphilis which turned her teeth black.
An American dentist has claimed that the tight-lipped expression was typical of people who have lost their front teeth, while a Danish doctor was convinced she suffered from congenital palsy which affected the left side of her face and this is why her hands are overly large.
A French surgeon has also put forth his view that she was semi-paralysed, perhaps as the result of a stroke, and that this explained why one hand looks relaxed and the other tense.
An Italian doctor has pointed to an alleged puffy cheek and swollen hand to claim she was suffering from a 'fatty blood' disorder.
'Joconde. From the Mona Lisa to the **** Gioconda' runs at the Museo Ideale in Vinci from June 13 to September 30.

**** Mona Lisa-Like Painting Found
06-12-09
Could Leonardo have painted a version of the iconic Mona Lisa in the ****? As comical as that might sound, a painting that recently surfaced and is on exhibition at the Museo Ideale in Vinci, the painter's birthplace, suggests this might just be the case.
From Discovery:
The newly revealed painting, hidden for almost a century within the wood wall of a private library, shows a portrait of a half-naked woman with clear links to the famous (and clothed) Mona Lisa.[...]
The lady in the portrait does not exactly resemble the original Mona Lisa, but there is little doubt it has parallels with the painting hanging at the Louvre museum in Paris.
It is, according to the museum's website, the first time the work has been exhibited. Take a look below to see for yourself.
