The Mona Lisa is a half length portrait of a woman by Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci. The image, considered to be the best known, most visited and most written about, has many mysteries revolving around it including who was this woman and if she is smiling among other things.
Recently, a pair of researchers has come up with a new assertion that da Vinci was much ahead from his time as the Mona Lisa could be the world’s first 3D image.
One of the most famous paintings in the world attracts huge number of visitors at the Louvre in Paris. It is a part of pair and it’s another part that is the other Mona Lisa, produced by his studio, is in the Prado Museum in Madrid.
University of Bamberg psychologists Claus-Christian Carbon and Vera Hesslinger said when both the images are combined then they create a 3D effect. It is not known as whether or not da Vinci created the image with an intention. But when both the versions are put together they produce stereoscopic qualities.
It seems that Da Vinci painted the painting with his student by his side who also painted the same woman but from an adjacent perspective. The researchers recreated the scene by tinting the layers and tried to show as how the effect that the images would have if they would have been viewed side by side.
“Whether this quality was actually created by intention or by accident can, of course, not be said for sure-but in the case of Leonardo, you never know”, affirmed both the researchers.
