 | On the left, Leonardo da Vincis Mona Lisa in Pariss Louvre; on the right, a picture released by the Mona Lisa Foundation of what it claims to be an earlier version of Leonardos portrait. The Zurich based foundation said it would present on Thursday in Geneva the stunning portrait of Lisa del Giocondo, along with the results of thirty-five years of research and scientific tests indicating that it was indeed executed by Leonardo approximately a decade earlier than its famous sister in the Louvre. The foundation said in a statement that it would present historical, comparative and scientific evidence, which demonstrates that there have always been two portraits of the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci, the Earlier Version and the Jaconde. |
