This is the Mona Lisa. The
most famous work of art in the world. Who she is, when she was painted, and even how she
was painted are mysteries. You might wonder why? Why are there mysteries about a
painting from someone who literally wrote down everything. In all of Da Vinci's
hundreds of thousands of pages of journals, he mentions nothing about this
painting. Instead his journals are written to teach someone how to truly see
her. Once you can do that, then all of the mysteries turn from coincidences to
clues.
Without giving too much away, (you
gotta get the book for the details) Here is a summary of what I've discovered.
One of the Mona Lisa's mysteries is
why the perspective unexpectedly rises behind the sitter.
No one has
ever been explain to explain this seemingly obvious mistake. If you
take a copy of the Mona Lisa and
roll it up so that it's outer edges touch, you'll notice
they align. In the two copies above
you can see what i mean. You'll see that
they match up. When rolled up, it becomes even more obvious.
This painting also used to have pillars on it's side that were removed
when Da Vinci died in 1519. I believe this to be a clue to help someone figure
this out. It's suppose to make you ask: "why would someone cut off the sides of
the Mona Lisa?" and it's in asking that question that leads you to many more. The
demonstration above wouldn't be possible with the pillars intact.
The next and biggest mystery about
the Mona Lisa is who she actually was. Most experts and art historians say that
it's Lisa Giacondo, or Lisa Gherardini. This might be
true in a different version of the painting, but not the painting we're talking
about. It's very possible Da Vinci painted a portrait of Lisa Gherardini but
that doesn't mean that this painting is her. Da Vinci's own self portrait
matches up with the face of the Mona Lisa.
This is just one reason why the
woman in the painting isn't Lisa Gherardini. In my book I give plenty more. I
compare the other names the painting has gone by:
"A Certain Florentine Lady"
"A courtesan in gauze veil"
"La Joconde"
"Mona Lisa"
"La Giaconda"
I explain why each is significant
and a clue to who the painting is really of. These names are all related and
point to the sitter being anyone but Lisa G. The title "Mona Lisa" was
intentional and has many hidden, and additional meanings.
I wasn't the first to notice that Da
Vinc's own self portrait aligned with the Mona LIsa but I am the first to
realize that they combine. The image below is Da Vinci's self portrait and the
Mona Lisa combined.
You'll notice that not only do they
align perfectly, the red in Da Vinci's self portrait acts like a mask over
Mona's face and alters it. Interestingly it ages the woman but in a way that
actually looks like it was intended. It was. Da Vinci's self portrait was
designed to do this.
"If liberty is dear to you may you never discover that my face is love's prison." - Da Vinci.
I think this cryptic quote shows
that this was Da Vinc's intent and is why I called my book: The Anatomy of Mona
Lisa: Love's Prison. Because that is what it is. Da Vinci's painting of the
"Mona Lisa" really contains (is imprisoned) within itself Da Vinci's legacy. His
own self portrait (his face) combines with the Mona Lisa to unlock this prison
and liberate his legacy. Not only does his self portrait match up with the Mona
Lisa, they both also combine with yet another painting from 500 years ago never
credited to a painter, but which I show in my book Da Vinci must have painted.
If the
composite image, which is obviously intentional, isn't enough. Mona's very name
itself is proof. Salai was Da Vinci's lover for 25 years. His name, which means
"little satan" is used more than any other in all of Da VInci's journals.
Lisa Giacondo? Salai's last name
is Giacomo. Coincidence?
Mona Lisa
as an anagram is "Mon Salai"
which means "My Salai" in French. In my book I show other double
meanings in both Italian and French that Da Vinci has also used. This is not a
coincidence.
It also
forms M(mona), on Salai.
Although it could seem like a
coincidence, it is not. When you consider that a painting of Salai combines and
aligns perfectly over the Mona Lisa - it's obvious the title alludes to this.
How could the two paintings match up perfectly without being designed and executed to do so? Da Vinci would have certainly painted a portrait of Salai and everything I’ve stated is very possible and makes more sense than anything else
theorized about the Mona Lisa before. Even without the hidden meanings and secret love the fact that these two paintings combine and form a new image that is even more realistic and beautiful than either original..
Can not be denied. That being said, it also makes their merger one of design and purpose and ultimately answers the question about the Mona Lisa's identity.
(I explain it in a lot more detail in my book it's 400 pages. This is just a
brief summary)
Something that didn't dawn on me until I almost finished my book was how
significant the order of these three images would be.
1495 -
The Painting of Salai
1503 -
1507 The Mona Lisa (I refute this in my book and lengthen the dates)
1516 -
His self portrait sketch.
If these
dates are accurate - which all my research and common sense confirms - it proves
that The Mona Lisa was designed around the painting of Salai. If these two
paintings combine perfectly they would have had to been designed to do so (not
to mention all the other clues to support this) They could not have
been completed without the other. Even if someone else were to have painted the
painting of Salai, Da Vinci would have had to have seen and used it to base the
Mona Lisa off of.
What does this mean? Why would Da Vinci do all of this? You'll have to read my
book for a complete answer.
Without giving too much away, the Mona Lisa is Da
Vinci's painted daughter.
In my book I also give
Da Vinci credit as the first photographer, explain why I think there are
hundreds, in not thousands of other images painted within the Mona Lisa, and so
so much more. If it sounds too absurd to be true, read the first half of my
book. I explain everything in complete detail. None of this has been fabricated.
Everything can be duplicated and supported.

This one shows the painting of Mona Lisa combining with that of Salai.
Notice how they align and combine almost perfectly. The painting of Salai
was painted before the Mona Lisa (1495) So Da Vinci would have had to base
the Mona Lisa off of Salai for this to happen. Not only that but an anagram
of Mona Lisa is "Mon Salai" or "M on Salai" which is more than a coincidence
seeing as these paintings do match up, and obviously Da Vinci planned for
this to happen.
Further evidence that Salai was influential Da Vinci's
art - and eludes to a hidden meaning is "John The Baptist" which was one of
Leonardo's last paintings. Although it's titled "John The Baptist" it's
really a portrait of Salai, but older this time.
Salai:
John the Baptist?
As it did with the other image of Salai - "John the
Baptist" also aligns with the Mona Lisa.
