As busy as Leonardo was I wonder if he really would have had time to do such things as hide himself in a portrait. Besides he was in demand to do jobs that actually paid so why spend time doing a self-portrait? Often when we do portraits they have a resemblance to our own likeness because we are fo familiar with our own faces. Just some food for thought.

Many artists paint features that look like their own. In a college class,20 of us painted a model and compared the results to our own faces. We all erred to the self portrait.

Now I know where to go to learn more about LDV.
Cant help but wonder if the score you display on the music page is really how he wrote it or if it is a modern day representation of his notation. I can probably find the answer if I did around your pages a bit more. :-)

I liked the "Why is Mona Lisa smiling" That's a neat theory, and I'm going to tell my
science teachers about it. It makes perfect sense!
He was picturing himself as a woman....?
Where did the name Mona Lisa come from anyway?

right about that Leonardo painted himself when he painted the Mona Lisa. We are interested in Mona Lisa and did some research. But we did not know that he painted himself. Thank you for this page.

I don't buy that da Vinci used his self portrait to paint the Mona Lisa. I think he probably chose to position the face and facial features in the exact same position on his canvas maybe because he believed it gave his portraits the right balance and proportion. I'm no expert.

I have more to add about this site. I think it would be a good way to teach children about Da Vinci because it is an interesting and fun way to see the comparison between the two pictures.

I think it is a very interesting observation. I have heard things about the fact that Da Vinci painted himself as Mona Lisa but never knew if it was really true. This site was introduced to me in a Classroom Integration session in my Instructional Technology class at Purdue University. The only thing I don't like is that on the school computers, the transition between Da Vinci and the Mona Lisa goes to fast to really see. However, I saw it on another computer that was much slower and it was really interesting to see the transition. They really do look like the same person!

I think that da Vinci did paint himself in the Mona Lisa.There are four bits of evidence:1) The smirk on her face isso suspicious and unusual of the time. Portrait paintersnever showed their subjects smiling in the Renassaincetimes.; 2) There are no records of the poser of the MonaLisa in his notebooks, coincidently the only piece in whichhe did not record the name of his subject.; 3) The digitalskeletal restructures of the faces of his self-portrait andof the Mona Lisa align, overlapping precisely and exactly,when depicted as facial structures on a highly-sophisticatedcomputer.; 4) The smirk on Mona Lisa's face is concealing,almost mocking, as if da Vinci painted himself trying toconceal a hidden fact about his piece, for futureresearchers to find out.Could this concealment be that the Mona Lisa is da Vincihimself? Many conclude so, including myself. Thanks forreading my opinion! :-)

Allthough I love your Mona Lisa changing into the alleged self portrait of Leonardo, I do not think you can draw any conclusion from this film.Artists are known to work from a certain schema which they would adapt to their purpose,that is why it is so easy to match the two faces made by the same hand.Read about this subject Ernst H. Gombrich, 'Art and Illusion' and for more about the facial types of Leonardo, Gombrich, Ideal and Type in Renaissance Art in 'New Lights on Old Masters'.

What an interesting page. I never knew why Mona Lisa was smiling in the picture or that a controversy over the issue even existed. It is quite impressive to see the metamorphosis of DaVinci's portrait into Mona Lisa's. This metamorphosis makes your point much easier to identify with then if you just showed the two pictures side by side. I first saw this site in a Classroom Integration session at Purdue University. It is an interesting site that I would recommend others to take a look at. Thanks for the incite and the history behind DaVinci's Mona Lisa.

Mona Lisa is called "La Gioconda."She was the wife of the Florentine Francesco do Giocondo. I do not think that Leo draw himself as a woman.I think Mona Lisa was missing a front tooth, and she was hiding it.If you look carefully, you will soon see that her mysterious smile is typical way that people hide their missing front tooth.

I enjoyed your site. I thought it was creative to switch the two faces back and forth to show the comparison. I first saw the site in a Classroom Integration session at Purdue University.

I like your site. There is only one thing about it that I didn't enjoy. It needs to have more information about the painting and about Da Vinci. Thanks for the help on my report.

Was very interested in your site, but at one computer could see the Mona Lisa face changeand at another the change does not take place. Any explanation or tips to correct this?!Thanks!

I've heard that the Mona Lisa is an extra-terrestrial alien but don't tell every body it's a secret

I agree. I believe that da Vinci was a brilliant man and I think that the Mona Lisa really is a self portrait of him. That may explain why there are no sitting records.

Congratulations on your site! Our Middle School art department at the American
School of Paris has been working on Mona Lisa's smile for several years, this
year for the first time using a computer. Needless to say she just keeps on smiling.Of
course we could go to the original work in the Louvre, but that means fighting
through crowds of American and Japanese tourists. So your site is a welcome and
uncrowded alternative.Chris, American School of Paris

Congratulations on creating a perfectly wonderful web site. Leonardo deserves to be studied and I am truly happy to see young people taking such an interest. I would like to add that a number of Leonardo scholars are beginning to doubt that the famous drawing of an old man is Leonardo himself. Robert Payne more than twenty years ago said that the drawing was a portrait of Leonardo's father. It is my understanding that renowned Leonardo scholar Martin Kemp believes the drawing was created about 1500. If that is the case Leonardo would have been only forty-eight years old at the time. The man in the drawing is clearly much older than that. If we assume that these people are correct, then Lillian Schwartz may have made her hypothesis based on a picture of someone else. I do not know who is right or wrong in this regard but it is indeed interesting to speculate who the mysterious smiling lady really is. Again, thank you for all your work and congratulations on a job well done!

Even if Leonardo da Vinci painted himself in this portrait,it is only assumed that this is why he is smiling. Perhapshe was smiling for another reason.

Mona Lisa Smiling.My conclusion is that even though the facial features are very similar, I don't know if I would go to say that it is a selfprotrate of himself as a woman. Why would he protray himself as a woman in the painting? My conclusion is that it is a painting donenot of him but of someone with similar features.micah

I was 'challenged' by my lecturer to find out which museum the painting " Mona Lisa" was supposed to be and this was how I got to this website that you guys created...It was great, not only did I managed to find an answer but I got know alot more about Da Vinci and all the interesting findings.....and yes...the music sounds great!

Hi.
I very much enjoyed in visiting your WebSite. It is a very
creative site and a pleasure to investigate. I enjoyed
the dissolves between the Mona Lisa and the Da Vinci self
portrait. My favorite however was the music.
This is a great WebSite not just by the standards a high
school WebSites but by any standard!

I agree totally on your theory. I've been researching alot
on the painting and between your picture flipping back and forth
and looking at the painting of himself and the Mona Lisa side by
side I support your theory.

In partial response to my previous question, I now have found that a guide book, "Leonardo's Last Supper" (By Edizioni Electa SpA - Milan, 1986), says the picture on the opposite wall from da Vinci¹s ³Last Supper² in the Refectory of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, is the "Crucifixion² by Giovanni Donato Montorfano.
I would like to more information about both the artist and the painting.
