TWIN SISTER OF MONA LISA DISCOVERED?

The painting of Mona Lisa

In the museum of Prado, in Madrid, Spain, a painting claimed to be the twin sister of Mona Lisa, the world-famous painting of Leonardo Da Vinci, has been discovered.

Simultaneously, it is believed that both pictures were painted in the same atelier by Da Vinci. The painting hung in the museum for many years, but a recent restoration of the museum led to the discovery.

Using infrared light, it was found that there was an Italian landscape hidden in the background. It is believed that the painting was done at the same time as Da Vinci was painting, and the artist could be Francesco Melzi, one of Da Vinci’s favorite pupils.

“When you look at the copy, you can imagine that it was exactly how Mona Lisa looked in the sixteenth century”. Said Mr.Finaldi, the curator of the museum.
