camden, NJ USA - Saturday, August 18, 2001 at 19:11:59 (EDT)Not since that great Italian TV program series, "to know how to see" has an academic recounting of Leonardo's life and work been so deep,comprehensive and filled with such Mysticism and imagination. This site is a classic!

Englewood Cliffs , NJ USA - Sunday, August 12, 2001 at 19:47:48 (EDT)Whoever made this site is obviously very passionate about website design and Leonardo. It jumps off the screen and into our homes. Very creative and well done!

Omaha, Nebraska USA - Friday, August 10, 2001 at 23:51:58 (EDT)Leonardo Davinci is my favorite artist. But I never seem to find any interesting sites about him. This one is the best I've ever seen. Quite inspiring. The graphics are very high definition. It's a shame the artist isn't a live to know his legacy...cause websites like these connect the whole world to a genius...and like him, this website is ahead of its time. It is the renaissance of Leonardo on the web!

AK USA - Thursday, August 09, 2001 at 20:51:40 (EDT)This site is awesome! It articulates Leonardo in a artsy, creative point of view. Bravo! It's in my favorites
Georgiano
manhattan, NY USA - Wednesday, August 08, 2001 at 22:44:34 (EDT)Your site contains iluminating examples of The connectedness of technology to Leonardo. How proud he would have been to see the expansion of ideas from his time analyzed and debated with the yols we have available today.
Hugh
Patterson, NJ USA - Tuesday, August 07, 2001 at 20:21:58 (EDT)The use of modern techniques to interpret the Mona Lisa without application knowledge of renaissance art techniques should not be done because doing so will tear the piece apart until viewers have been deprived of the beauty and mystery behind it.
Michael
Eugene, OR USA - Tuesday, August 07, 2001 at 16:59:21 (EDT)This site is ingeniously detailed and makes other Leonardo sites pale. I've always dreamed of a children accessible site was a powerful tool for adults. Here it is!!!!!!

detroit, mi USA - Monday, July 30, 2001 at 21:38:34 (EDT)I think its very plausible that Leonardo used himself as the model. Amazing web site!

Chicago, IL USA - Friday, July 27, 2001 at 21:41:04 (EDT)I think the Mona Lisa is a truly magnificent piece of art work to have been painted almost 500 years ago.
Heidi
Christchurch, New Zealand - Friday, July 27, 2001 at 02:45:53 (EDT)I think its uncanny, the ressemblance between the two.. absolutly crazy.... wow!!!! never would have occured to me... but is it do to, what I call the cartonn effect, (images superimposed, flipping quickly...or is it the same when you actually examine, a little more slowly the two paintings? mona
montreal, USA - Thursday, July 26, 2001 at 16:55:45 (EDT)I have found, that this site is very intresting and has a lot to offer as far as learning goes, and to all of you students that have put your best into it, It shows that you all! did an excellent job, Thank You for showing us that there is alot out their to learn still.

New York, NY USA - Wednesday, July 25, 2001 at 23:05:35 (EDT)So what you are telling me is that Leonardo is a female impersonator ???
Steve
USA - Wednesday, July 25, 2001 at 06:35:27 (EDT)that was a cool quizbut it is only a theory that the mona lisa is a self potraitit could be his love the one he was looking for and could never haveif this is exciting maybe all great artists should be looked intoalong with composers because if artists threw themselves into their work and left a piece of them in eac portrait and statue them why not in there music tooi think in theory its his true love or a family memberpoets also put themselves in there work like poewriters are the same way stephen kings pictre is on a newspaper in one of his moviesthe cemetary in pet cemetary if you look close his name is on a tombstoneso every great artist or song writer or movie writer or storie writer or poet adds a piece of themselves to their workits what makes the different from todays artists and writersso have fun with the site and remember everyone has an opinon and a theory about somethingone last thought though b4 i go if you were going to paint a picture of your sister or brother wouldnt there be a little of you in the picture because its your relativebut if you painted a picture of a stranger would you still look like the stranger??

steuben, me USA - Tuesday, July 24, 2001 at 06:43:07 (EDT)that was a cool quizbut it is only a theory that the mona lisa is a self potraitit could be his love the one he was looking for and could never have
rose
steuben, me USA - Tuesday, July 24, 2001 at 06:22:57 (EDT)It is a nice theory to think that Leonardo painted himself as The Mona Lisa. ALthough he might have been a genius he could have been unaware of painting some of his own features in the Mona Lisa. It is a normal phenomena that artists who draw or paint portraits, paint unconsciously themselves. I'm an artist and I've seen it already many times happening that in portrait drawing classes that people paint their own face while the person they are looking at has a complete different face. So I think this is not a very solid theory that Leonardo painted himself. Corinne
Brunei - Tuesday, July 24, 2001 at 02:00:49 (EDT)The Mona Lisa is smiling cause of this website!
Charles
USA - Monday, July 23, 2001 at 21:08:54 (EDT)Some of my friends have a theory that she is a prostitute and he didn't record the sitting so as not to shame himself...or perhaps she was just a friend and he actually WANTED a mysterious side to the picture or he just forgot. I perosnally believe the latter 2 ideas. Why is it that in Ever After it is on canvas? Carl
Dunedin, n/a New Zealand - Sunday, July 22, 2001 at 22:36:50 (EDT)The site is an educational site with a difference! The educational links are great and Although I have studied daVinci my whole life, I have never learned so much elsewhere.
Jonathan
New Orleans, LA USA - Sunday, July 22, 2001 at 21:42:02 (EDT)I was on Newsday.com and I was reading about Chip Tracer. I Think it would an excellent adventure for Chip Tracer to answer the question Why is the Mona Lisa Smiling!...look into having that done, it would be great for students!
David
Bronx, NY USA - Saturday, July 21, 2001 at 20:33:39 (EDT)this is a wonderful mystical site. I sisn't know that Leonardo wrote music and designed so many things. The educational links are great . my kids are learning alot too.

Warren
Langhorne, PA USA - Saturday, July 14, 2001 at 18:10:36 (EDT)This was a very good website. I enjoyed the graphics very much. I didn't know that Leonardo wrote music or that the horse he designed was ever built. I will visit again.
Jack
Newark, NJ USA - Friday, July 13, 2001 at 20:37:25 (EDT)Mona Lisa a self portrait? Hmmmmm... this reconciles L's apparent preference for "male" companionship. Why?- he may have fashioned himself as a captivating attractive woman!--All that male attention? WELL IF TRICK PHOTOGRAPHY CAN METAMORPHOSIZE JOHN INTO YOKO, WHY NOT THEN L INTO M?--HMMMMMM....

I'm 8 years old and the Mona Lisa scares me. she keeps looking at me. But grandma says we can get rid of her at the click of a mouse.
jake
davenport, Ia USA - Sunday, July 08, 2001 at 01:37:14 (EDT)I had heard about the theory of Leonardo painting himself as the Monalisa but until now i see the computarized image of bothfaces and it is true, you can actually tell they are the same person.Whenever somebody hears something going on email me.I am very interested in learning a bit more from Loenardo and all this Monalisa theory!!

Joseph
USA - Monday, July 02, 2001 at 23:33:56 (EDT)Why Mona Lisa is smiling is a question I think that no one will ever really be able to throughaly understand; because no one will ever really know what Da Vinci was thinking when he painted his masterpiece. But like many other mysteries in the world sometimes things are more interesting when you don't know everything about them.

She is a puzzle, an enigma. A self portrait? A motherly reflection? An ideal fashioned by the greatest genius of all time? you have shown me that the mystery increases over time. Keep up the great work!

gerik, perak malaysia - Tuesday, June 26, 2001 at 01:59:31 (EDT)My mom and I were observing the picture and we noticed that there were some similarities.Like the face alignments and the eyes.My mom noticed that Leonardo daVinci had only changed the wrinkles and the nappy hair into the beautiful face of the Mona Lisa.My mom and I loved that picture.
