This just goes to show you the horrible job that the Louvre has done to conserve Leonardo’s work. Theirs is dirty, washed out and and in very bad condition

Why paint over the background?! It’s crazy that 200 years after it was painted someone was like “I’m going to paint over this SUPER OLD painting”

Ooh. Fun fact: I put both of these side by side in a single image on my phone with the Prado on the left. I did this after seeing a documentary. If I put my phone up to my nose and slowly pulled it away so my eyes turned it in to 3 images, the center image looks 3D!

I mean, when you view them back, crossing your eyes, it kind of blends the images on its own

It’s giving it was a portrait of a live model. It seems Mona Lisa wasn’t even supposed to be the masterpiece

I highly doubt it was for a 3D effect. When you have someone pose for a drawing or painting, the artists surround them. The model is often on a dais or raised platform, with the artists in an arc. This makes everyone’s perspective slightly different and the end results would be similar, but not identical. Most likely Di Vinci had multiple students and he was in the center, but further back, so he could observe their work.

The Louvre needs to step it up cause I never even knew she was wearing a veil before this

If the Mona Lisa was restored it would look very simular to the students work.

years ago I bought a book called The Life and Works of Leonardo Da Vinci by Ormiston and it has several versions of The Mona Lisa painted by his students, the surviving works at least. it was so refreshing to see the painting in such detail
