If you could get a photograph of Leonardo Da Vinci younger; and compare both photographs(I mean the Mona Lisa one and the young Leonardo one)the public could see a better comparison of them and thus come to a more righteousconclusion.

Distrito Federal, México México - Wednesday, February 11, 1998 at 13:33:39 (EST)I think that he did paint a portrait of himself because the facial feature are almost identical. Please write back to me with more information about the mona lisa.

M'SIA - Wednesday, February 11, 1998 at 02:59:30 (EST)I really think that Leonardo da Vinci is Mona Lisa in that painting. I looked up on the internet what he painted and I found the one where his painting turns into Mona Lisa.Is it true though? Did he paint himself and call it a portait of Mona Lisa? Can these questions ever be answered?In the near future we shall be sure to find out.

poughkeepsie, ny USA - Tuesday, February 10, 1998 at 20:27:05 (EST)I am interested in the fact that Mona Lisa looks like the artist in the picture on this web page(the one flashing back and forth from Mona Lisa to Leonardo) Can this be true? I'm taking an art class at UNLV and we discussed that issue.

Venlo, The Netherlands - Monday, February 09, 1998 at 14:10:57 (EST)I think the doctor is right. The faces align to perfectly. And if there was no record of the model sitting, what's to say that he didn't paint himself and change the features?

Arlington, TX USA - Saturday, February 07, 1998 at 22:53:16 (EST)If ever there were doubt from where true inspiration springs... let it rest here. If Leonardo had intended that we know, we would. The enigma remains as was intended. Mike Conner <mlc@ntslink.net>

Souris, MB Canada - Wednesday, February 04, 1998 at 15:25:03 (EST)I liked the picture of Leonardo and Mona Lisa. It was really interesting to see his face morph into hers. I don't think it is his face in hers because the facial features are toodifferent.

Souris, MB Canada - Wednesday, February 04, 1998 at 15:23:59 (EST)I think it is a good theroy, because it's probaly the only theroy about Monna Lisa.

Dallas, Tx USA - Wednesday, February 04, 1998 at 15:12:43 (EST)I think that the Mona Lisa does kind of look like Leonardo in some kind of freaky way.

Dallas, TX USA - Wednesday, February 04, 1998 at 15:03:36 (EST)I THINK THAT LEONARDO DOES NOT LOOK LIKE LISA. SHE LOOKS BETTER THAN WHAT LEONARDO LOOKED LIKE. I AM NOT TRYING TO SAY HE WAS UGLY.

rumor that DaVinci portrayedhimself in the Mona Lisa is one that I have always
agreed with. My complements to the web page.Sincerely,Gordon

Potsdam, NY USA - Wednesday, February 04, 1998 at 11:48:39 (EST) Great job on the guess about the Mona Lisa!!!! I always figured that he was a bit wacky. All geniuses are sorta weird. Hey, maybe he was a closet crossdresser?!?!

jamie
USA - Friday, January 30, 1998 at 09:21:48 (EST)I liked the morph, but what happened to the other reasons why Mona Lisa is smiling? Are we suppose to just believe that this doctor is right. There is the belief that the Mona Lisa smile is because of the man she sees before her and DiVinci captures this in his painting. Looking at the painting you can't help but wonder what is on her mine.

With the screen capture and information in the Fine Arts WebGuide, I hope that many students visit this page and try to decide if the Mona Lisa is really a Da Vinci self-portrait!

Athens, GA USA - Sunday, January 25, 1998 at 16:47:16 (EST)Amusing.

casalino , no italy - Saturday, January 24, 1998 at 19:11:04 (EST)In my reaction to the Mona Lisa's portrait, da Vinci was a sheer genius, in Painting the piece. To paint a picture of yourself as a member of the oposite sex in such a technology starved period of time only shows da Vinci's special gifts.
