Behind The Smile: The Descendants Of The Real Mona Lisa | NBC News
There's a lot of secrets in Mona Lisa
It's sad that the line will end when they die
is it too late for them to have kids? to keep the line going
People always sit there and try to wonder why the Mona Lisa had just a little smirk why she wasn't truly smiling it's because she didn't have all of her teeth I guarantee it my late girlfriend was missing a couple of teeth where her ex-husband had hit her she used to smile the exact same way she was so afraid somebody was going to see her missing teeth
Shut up 😒
Your really not funny man
@Mariah Fox mong
Best painting ever!!!!! Looks trully enigmatic!
How frustrating to the man waiting for the portrait of his wife
They have the smile.
She has lv in her eye
I don’t give a crap what you say, that’s NOT the Mona Lisa. The whole point of the infamy was the LACK OF SMILE. It was so incredibly subtle, you could either say she was smiling or she wasn’t. Can’t say that with this one. She also didn’t have that classically “pretty” look. She was more regal, more mischievous, and her face wasn’t quite so puffy.
I think you're mixing up ancestors and spiritual reincarnations
@@kezottleI accidentally laughed out loud reading your comment in the middle of the night 😂😂😂😂
@@projekpantai4596 lol i dont even remember writing that comment so i laughed too

Not all.. It can be a good hoax propagation
this is a mystery to be solved in the portrait of this unknown woman of leonar do da vinci's painting
How many generation between Mona Lisa and her descendants ?
Monalisa is just a critic,imagination of the great Sir Da Vici......
No it was a high school student! Pregnant at the time.
if you search up mona lisa you can see some stuff
Omg
How many descendants did she have ?
Yeah It was stolen and sold because it meant nothing to them. To me it was my heart!
Can they even paint
they claim a connection to the subject in the painting, not the painter
She looks Greek.
No She was Italian
Funny claim to fame because the lourve most famous painting is fake, the original painting describe by vasari is hidden in the port of singapore
Mona Lisa is a Gemini (i think i spelled that right) I think its her Zodiac Sign. Gemini’s are two faced for people who dont know. I learned this in 3rd grade im pretty sure. TYSM MR.MAIRE
Thanks for that info. about Gemini's being two-faced. ♊ Now I can avoid Gemini's. ♊ ☯

people didn't look that good back in the days so they always exacerbate beauty in painting back then.
The character we see in the famous portrait at the Louvre is not that of Lisa del Giocondo or Mona Lisa, but that of Isabella of Aragon and Sforza, the daughter of the King of Naples Alfonso II of Aragon. Isabella married her cousin Gian Galeazzo Sforza, the heir to the Duchy of Milan, to strengthen ties between the Kingdom of Naples and the Duchy of Milan. Leonardo da Vinci was at that time in the service of Ludovico Sforza, Gian Galeazzo's uncle who was regent at the court of Milan. Isabella's young husband died prematurely at the age of 25 without having been able to exercise power, said to have been assassinated on his uncle's orders. The German historian Maike Vogt-Luerssen tells us that after her widowhood, Isabella and Leonardo formed a secret couple and had 5 children. So it is the portrait of his beloved that Leonardo da Vinci made, which explains why he took it to Amboise in France and kept it until the end of his life, as we keep a family photo nowadays. So there was an emotional bond with Isabella that did not exist with Lisa del Giocondo whose portrait was just a commission. The research I have done myself on the landscape indicates that it is based on an authentic place, which would confirm Maike Vogt-Luerssen's theory, as it probably pays tribute to Isabella of Aragon's family origins. It seems obvious to me that the identity of the character in this portrait has been confused between an order actually received, that of the silk merchant's wife, and the portrait of Leonardo's companion which is the one we see today at the Louvre. All of this is probably well known today to the so-called specialists of Leonardo da Vinci, who do not want to recognize the inconsistencies of the official version, because they have spent their whole life defending a version they know today is outdated. As Mark Twain said, "It's easier to fool people than to convince them they've been fooled".
Walk down the streets and she looks like all European chicks. Lol
Anyone with the last name Gherardini is related to the Mona Lisa. Don’t believe me? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisa_del_Giocondo
