Younger Mona Lisa

Hello dear readers,

Could you recognize your friend or a member of your family from a picture when he or she was 10 to 15 years younger?

Well, paitings were the only way to create images of people back in the days. Not long ago I read a news article about the exposition of the "10 year younger mona lisa"  at an art gallery in Asia.

When I searched for the pictures on the internet; it was clear that the same Lisa di Giocondo was on both paintings, I could recognize her like you would recognize a friend or family member on a photo taken 10 years ago. I started searching for more information and I found this interesting video that I share with you.




I can't consider myself an artist but from my humble experiences I could say this: If you wanna make a master piece you have to practice and then when you feel ready you can start with the big task.

My theory is that Leonardo sketched Lisa di Giocondo on canvas and later he created world known Mona Lisa on wood.
