Mona Lisa, Leonardo da Vinci's portrait of a young woman, is regarded as the most famous paintings in the world.
The identification is depicted with the Mona Lisa, the wife of Florentine merchant Francesco del Giocondo, based on her age of the information by Giorgio Vasari (1511-74), in its 1550 first published Künstlerviten than previously only source of the portrait of a name There, while an approximate dating between 1503 and 1506. It is this identification some 50 years younger than her subject. Because Vasari also for his penchant for Anekdotischen know, existed until now doubts about the reliability of its information. Because Leonardo himself mentioned the Mona Lisa in his drawings and notebooks with no word.
Sparse information in other sources from the years 1517, 1525 and 1540 can be great leeway for interpretation, so that different versions of the identification exist. One possibility under discussion is the representation of a fictitious Frauenbildnisses, one of Leonardo in the picture put women's ideal.
All doubts about the identity of the Mona Lisa eliminated a source, Dr. Armin Worse for cataloguing a Heidelberger early pressure (7,620 mark D qt. INC), and discovers - with a brief comment - in Inkunabelausstellung catalogue to the University Library in May 2005, has published. In the 1477 printed edition of Cicero found a note from the Florentine firm officials Agostino Vespucci, the Leonardo with Apelles, the largest ancient painters, and compares stating that those currently being used in a portrait of the Mona Lisa worked. Vespucci Margins from October 1503 allows a precise dating of the painting and confirmed definitely Vasaris indication of 1550, which was Displayed Lisa del Giocondo.
The detailed scientific positioning in the research landscape has since 2005. Several articles on this Fund and its importance for the art historical research are to be expected.
