► Learn who discovered Mona Lisa's identity! What would she look like today? Plus other historical facts…
► Hello everyone and welcome back to Mystery Scoop.
In today's video we're going to bring to life 'The Mona Lisa', often regarded as the world's most famous painting by Italian polymath, Leonardo da Vinci. But, first let's learn a few historical facts about the woman portrayed in this painting.
- The painting was completed between 1503 and 1506 but it is believed Leonardo may have continued working on it as late as 1517. The mysterious smile of the Mona Lisa has captivated and inspired many writers, singers, and painters all over the world. Overtime it has become an icon of the Renaissance. Who was this woman?
- The identity of this enigmatic woman was a subject of many speculations and remained unknown for centuries. However, by pure chance, a German historian working at the University Library of Heidelberg named Dr. Armin Schlechter uncovered a significant find while organising old manuscripts for an exhibition in early 2005. He discovered a margin note by Agostino Vespucci from October 1503 in a book that belongs to the library. The note identifies Lisa del Giocondo, the wife of a wealthy Florentine merchant, as Mona Lisa.
- Lisa del Giocondo was an Italian noblewoman of the Gherardini family and she was married to Francesco del Giocondo, a successful silk merchant, whose family resided in Florence and Tuscany. It is believed that the painting was commissioned in 1503 for their new home and to celebrate the birth of their first son. Lisa went on to became a mother of five children and led what is thought to have been a comfortable and ordinary middle-class life. She outlived her husband, who was considerably her senior.
- Leonardo's work on the Mona Lisa was most likely delayed when he was commissioned to complete more valuable work. Thus, he always considered the portrait unfinished. He was not paid for the work and did not deliver it to his client. Leonardo carried the portrait with him throughout his life. Leonardo spent his final three years in France, at the invitation of King Francis I, where he died in 1519. The painting was then acquired by Francis I and has been in the custody of France ever since. The Mona Lisa now hangs behind bulletproof glass in a gallery of the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it has been on display since 1804, or possibly even earlier.
- Infamously, on August 21st, 1911, the painting was stolen from Louvre Museum. The culprit was Louvre employee Vincenzo Peruggia, an Italian patriot who believed that Leonardo's painting should have been returned to an Italian museum. He carried out the theft by entering the building during regular hours, hiding in a broom closet, and walking out with the painting hidden under his coat after the museum had closed. After having kept the Mona Lisa in his apartment for two years, Peruggia grew impatient and was caught when he attempted to sell it to Giovanni Poggi, director of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. It was exhibited in the Uffizi Gallery for over two weeks and returned to the Louvre on 4 January 1914. Peruggia served six months in prison for the crime and was hailed in Italy for his patriotism.

It's believed that the marriage between the then 15 year old Lisa Gherardini and the older previously ( possibly even twice before ) married Francesco del Giocondo who already had a son that Lisa reared as her own was surprisingly for the time based on love and resulted in her iconic painting. Her modest dowry of 170 florins which is only 94 dollars in todays money and the San Silvestro farm near her family's country home suggests her family though possessing a "old" and noble name was not wealthy and is taken as a sign that they married for love. The marriage might even have increased her social status as Francesco's family is thought to have been wealthy. What really says that the marriage was indeed a love match is that when he died Francesco's will stated "Given the affection and love of the testator towards Mona Lisa, his beloved wife; in consideration of the fact that Lisa has always acted with a noble spirit and as a faithful wife; wishing that she shall have all she needs…". The will then returned her dowry to her and made provisions for her future care. The obvious conclusion from this is that Lisa was a good woman and wife who was deeply loved by her husband which resulted in him commissioning the famous painting from Leonardo Di Vinci to honor her.
The background information was very interesting . I never knew she actually existed. It is so very cool how you make historical figures come to life .Always like watching these
Thank you!
I didn't know she existed either
It’s interesting how people who lived back then looked different from how we look today
I Wonder if they looked different or it's just the art style
Its mostly because of the dress and living conditions
Everyone looks different from everyone. So I don’t understand what you mean. Of course they look different from modern people. Please be more specific. They look human to me; don’t they look human to you?
@@sewmeonekenobi639 Have you ever seen anyone who looks identical to Mona Lisa ? I haven’t .
Different things were in style like plucking out hairs from the hairline to make a more oval face and removing eyelashes and eyebrows to look “doe eyed” so maybe it’s these slight things that look different??
Wow, this was amazing! Now I know that she had a good life with many children in Florence - I am glad to hear that!
Thank you!…
I thought that also because so many women throughout history had lived sad, short and or tortured lives. A lot of times because they had no or little control or say about what would happen to them throughout their lives. Glad Lisa lived a good one.
i wonder if her lineage is still there... her grand grand... children
I visited Florence and also saw her portrait at the Louvre. I would say she was very fortunate to have lived in Florence in that time, it shows on her face!.
Lisa Del Giocondo, (Mona Lisa), became one of the World's best known and most-viewed ladies of all-time! It would be interesting to know if she even knew the painting existed and if she ever saw the painting.
She’s very beautiful! That was great. Thanks very much, appreciate you!
4:20 C'mon...there we go! Show off that smile, Lisa.
Pretty amazing. To me she was stunning!
Such a stunning painting, and beautifully presented, well done MS, love your videos and love your channel, take care.👍💙
Thanks so much 😊
You are an absolute genius, these videos are amazing, just awesome to see mona lisa moving like shes still alive just fantastic
Glad to finally find out her real name after all these years. I hadn't realized anyone had discovered that information.
Simply brilliant!! Thank you!
Thank you too!
One theory I have read, is that Leonardo realized while he was painting the portrait, that the woman looked like his mother, and, as has been noted for some time, also looked somewhat like Leonardo himself. So, he arranged to keep the Louvre painting himself, and the Prado picture or the Isleworth one was delivered to the lady's husband. Over several years then, according to the theory, he tried to get the painting to look like an idealized painting of his mother. As far as I know, there is no verifiable portrait of his mother, who, of course was not married to his father. I was hoping this animation would show the lady in profile, something I have tried to do, and haven't been able to do as a convincing colored pencil drawing.
Very interesting. Lisa may not have looked exactly as she appears in the painting though. Da Vinci took years to paint it,, and likely was still working on it when he lived in France in his later years. Likely he was painting her from memory...
Love the original but also like her with all of the makeup 🥰🤩
Wow she is very beautiful. ❣️
if it was commisioned work, wouldnt it have been paid for, so it really should have been given to the giacondo family and their descendents. great video. just stumbled upon it and going to binge watch the rest. 😄
Mona Lisa sure was a beautiful woman
Sad that the real Mona Lisa, the actual person, never received the painting from Leonardo. He kept it with him till he died.
Thank you. What an amazing video. ❤
Breathtakingly stunning!!
The information is very interesting.
The painting is smaller than I expected like the creation of Michael Angelo.
It’s a great video showing how Mona Lisa would’ve looked like if she were alive.
Even more erie was showing her in contemporary surroundings in normal 21st century clothes.
Not to tell you how to run your channel, but you should have played Nat King Cole’s version of (what else) Mona Lisa as background music…
Just a suggestion
Funny you said that. I automatically think of him singing that song
Turkiye den tesk harika video
Wow
man she's gorgeous I always had a crush on her
Technology + Genius = impossible to POSSIBLE! Thank you for sharing, really fascinating!
👍❤Oh thank you❤!thank you so much for its video! 🌿🌟
Hola Mystery scoop
La sonrisa de Mona Lisa un misterio.... como siempre .excelente..Desde Chile.
At 4:51 she actually looks a little like princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway.
The age progression was pretty cool.
Imagine it becomes true what is promised in Acts 3:21 using the phrase ἄχρι χρόνων ἀποκαταστάσεως πάντων ὧν ἐλάλησεν ὁ Θεὸς διὰ στόματος τῶν ἁγίων ἀπ’ αἰῶνος αὐτοῦ προφητῶν = until the times of the restitution of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of his holy prophets!
If that will happen, and I trust that this will happen indeed, then this means we will see all those beautiful persons you have brought to life again face to face! Do you understand, dear Mystery Scoop, that your work appears like a "living service" to me I deeply enjoy with a thankful heart to God & tears in my eyes? As you maybe can imagine as a German Lutheran pastor I see in all your work the loving hands of God helping me making it through my life! Mystery Scoop, so long, love & kindest regards from Germany!
Honestly I never understood why she is so celebrated.I personally find the Salvator Mundi more intriguing .
There's actually a third version of Mona Lisa. Surprised it was wasn't included.
🙏
The two replicas are awesome, but the first have more quality and seems of one different style than the original of Leonardo.
♥️
I like the Mona Lisa big smile
Thank you.
You can try, but I don’t think you can improve the “Mona Lisa.”
It's like Mona Lisa in 3D
nice editing......
Thanks!
Very interesting....
"Who is this woman?"
"That's the question!"
Merci.
🍃🍁🍃
That beautiful woman looks exactly just like Mona Lisa Wow because we all have a Twin
Muito bom
Wow! Leonardo's student was excellent! Maybe Leo is a bit over ratted???? No wonder he kept his version hidden! LOL!!! Just kidding, this is amazing!
Hi can someone tell me name of the song at 4:01 please. Thank you in advance.
Air from Bach…
@@MysteryScoop thank you. I always wanted to know the name of the song
Então se Monalisa vivesse hoje em dia ela seria a Sasha Meneghel?
She was no looker that's for sure but may have been a nice person .
Looked in the description as to the background music and didn’t find. Whose piece was that or the name. I’ve heard it many times before but don’t remember the composer nor the name of the concerto. ☹️
Air by Bach…
Monalisa é turca❤
She should be in Italy
GOOD VIDEO AS ALWAYS, I WONDER WAS SHE LOOK LIKE IN REAL LIFE AS PAINTERS GET PAID FOR THEIR WORKS.LIKE WHO GOING TO PAID SOMEONE GOOD MONEY FOR A UGLY SUBJECT. BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OFTHE ARTIST BUT THEY STILL HAVE TO MAKE A LIVING. GOD BLESS P S LOVE THE CHANNEL
Well...through the portrait painting we can see what she looked like....
I wish I had a Mona Lisa painting that she could actually talk to you buy pushing a button that would scare a lot of people
How to make it?
Nice try Mystery Scoop but that's not Mona Lisa at 4:49 She's an Instagram Influencer. Her name Is Mona Lisa Johnson. If you want your Woman to know what's the latest trends when it comes to shoes and purses her Channel Is the Channel to go to.
Wrong pronunciation of Gherardini. GH must sound like an hard G and not sweet. Beside, is Monna Lisa, please. With double N.
مرحبا
The identity of Mona Lisa was never much a mystery, be honest.
Meno male che la Gioconda non era la moglie del Correggio.
ES LA MADRE DE DIOS DE DIOSES. ORDEN MISTICA( ANTOINEU ).. (SE PROHIBE, SU USO). AMEN. SI SE QUIEREN AMAR.
Easy it was me, 🎁Truth in plain sight! Leonardo DaVinci Paintings
🦁If you calculate this year 2022 minus the year the 1st Mona Lisa died 1542=480 years, the same amount of time from Exodus to the rebuild of the new temple in the Bible. The 2nd Mona Lisa is the Bride of Christ, Queen of Heaven, Sophia, Mother, Wisdom, Daughter Zion, Elisa -Elijah , key of David, Sophia, Ephraim, Elijah, Archangel Ariel, Lilith the first, Joan of Arc, Joseph and the colourful coat, The Female Christ - The Mona Lisa 2nd -Lord, Queen of Queens
🦁the initials in her eye is her name initials
🦁the V & 5 sceneries are the 5 places the 2nd Lisa has lived in after marriage. 🦁The 12 pins firstly in a shape of a cup represents her surname
🦁secondly around her head in X-ray represents 12 stars just like in Revelation the woman with 12 stars signifying her holiness.
🦁The right hand over the left signifies she is the right hand of God.
🦁The number under the bridge 75 is the year son of God was born in human form & the year she was snatched away Revelation 12:5
🦁His other paintings link the Mona Lisa to them as well, the crab sketch represents her star sign Cancer.
🦁The ferret and lady represents what the 2nd Mona Lisa was called as a child.
🦁Portrait of a woman represents her eldest daughter. Her youngest daughter is painted as saint Anne(True Royal Bloodline)
🦁The last Supper shows a chalice cup is her surname.
🦁The twist in her fabric on her shoulder represents Gods humour & twist to the biblical story, savior is female this time. ❤️
oh, la mia cagna preferita!!!!
Moving the face around looks cartoonish and creepy.
So what you're saying is Lisa was no more than an OG sugar baby. 😂
Cartoon.
Monalisa is a pretty overrated painting ngl.
Like c'mon it's just a painting!
Either you've never seen the painting in person, or you failed art appreciation. Or both.
@@onemercilessming1342 Well I'm an artist by myself and there are prolly thousands of beautiful baroque and classical paintings in the Louvre. Even much more better than Mona Lisa. But most of the people only go to Louvre to see Monalisa. Why is that tho?
I would say that Mona lisa is nothing as compared to the "Night Watch", the "Death of Socrates", "The creation of Adam", the "Last Supper" and many other paintings. In my pov art appreciation is a good thing BUT exaggeration and over promotion is just worse than that.
Everyone is entitled to their respective opinions so I just felt the urge to share mine with ya. Don't take it badly 😉
It's famous because it was stolen
@@darwinc949 The painting was originally from Italy, right?
@@alexandermuller950 That's YOUR opinion. The "Mona Lisa" is also valued for its longevity, style, and the talent of the painter. Anyone can claim to be an artist. Even you. Preschoolers lay claim to the nomenclature and their work is proudly displayed on home refrigerators. Stores hold coloring contests at Christmas and Easter and the children's work is on display in the store. You are ONE opinion. Countless others with more expertise, talent, education, and experience hold other views. Enjoy your delusions of grandeur.
Mona LISA was BLACK
Thank God Mona Lisa has not been africanaized yet lol😂🤣
Leonardo DaVinci🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹,italian genius,and MonaLisa🇮🇹,italian paint.
Ahhh louvre,its a "italian museum" in france🤣🤣🤣🤣, 70%of paints,are stolen in italy🤡🤡🤡
Nay, in 2022 Mona Liza would have hylouronic huge lips, duck face, thick tatooed eyebrows,and made in Turkey smile
