@tatyanaaboutart: Does the Mona Lisa deserve the hype that she gets? What do you think? Artwork: ‘Mona Lisa,’ by Leonardo Da Vinci, 1503-1519, Louvre Museum, Paris, France #arttiktok #arthistory #monalisa #greenscreen
French scientist Pascal Cotte used a "Layer Amplification Method" (LAM) with reflective light technology to analyze the painting's layers. He claimed to have found evidence of an earlier portrait underneath the current one, depicting a different woman who was looking off to the side and lacked the famous smile. Cotte suggests this earlier image is the real Lisa Gherardini (the traditional subject), and the final Mona Lisa is an overpainted, idealized version. What are your thoughts on this?

I’m sure it is partially because of the hype but when I saw it several years ago I couldn’t help but feel let down. And on a personal level, give me a Van Gogh any day.

To me Art is largely about aspiration. To see what we can be and the Mona Lisa for me represents not so much the painting itself, but how Art affects us and collectively for a variety of reasons, it has become a symbol of greatness.

I stayed at a hotel in Florence. There was a brass plaque on the door of my room which read, in Italian, that this was the room that the thief had hidden the painting before turning it over to the Uffizi Gallery.

There has not been 5 centuries of fascination of this painting. It became famous after it was stolen in the early 1990. Before that it was just one of many renaissance paintings.

saw it in 1992 and thought it was kind of uninteresting and there are so many more that I think are better

Nope. Much overrated and many many many other of da Vinci's paintings stand higher than this. Because we think it's wonderful now doesn't make it wonderful it makes it a product of publicity and propaganda. Love your videos keep up the good work.

In the play “Nachtland" two people discuss whether art speaks without the artist being able to speak for the art, I was wondering if you knew the exchange and what view you had?

I think no other painter loved his creation as much as Leonardo! It is the myth of Pygmalion brought to life! I don' t like the idea that it is famous because of the theft, although it may be some truth in it!

I first heard about the Mona Lisa as a child when I listened to Nat King Cole singing a song about her.

I think the hype is appropriate! She is iconic. There is evidence of another portrait under the layers! Also, the light and shadows are stunning. I was surprised by how small the painting is in real life!

When I saw it, I was surprised that it wasn't larger. There was only five of us there that day.

I think it does get the hype it deserves because of how unconventional this portrait was during its time and her expression does a lot to make people wonder about her

I remember entering the room and surprised for its small size 😂 lovely to see, but with those colossal Jacques-Louis David nearby I was taken. I think the Louvre will put the painting in a exclusive room
