London. The French scientist Pascal Cotte discovered after 10 years of study, a portrait image below the surface of the Mona Lisa Leonardo da Vinci, through light reflective technology.
The process Cotte is to project a series of intense light on the painting. A camera takes measurements of reflections of lights, from which you can rebuild what’s between the layers.
He said his findings challenge the theory that the muse has been Lisa Gherardini, the wife a Florentine merchant. “When I finished rebuilding Gherardini, was in front of the portrait and was totally different from the Mona Lisa.”
