This painting of Leonardo da Vinci is also one of the most duplicated paintings of all time. there were theories proposed by numerous analysts on the identity of a lady. Some people say that the woman was Leonardo da Vinci’s mother, others declared that this was his wife and the most preposterous of all concepts and claim is that it was Leonardo da Vinci himself.

All of these hypotheses are without basis. What they only have are mere speculations and unsubstantiated claim by early historians. The last and most believable concept was that the topic of Leonardo da Vinci’s painting is an image of a young Florentine woman since this painting was done in the city of Florence.

Latest study projects conducted by Heidelburg University dismiss all these hypotheses and ultimately unearth the real identity of the girl behind Leonardo da Vinci’s painting. The woman in the painting is Lisa Gherardini del Giocondo an affiliate of a noble family.

Folk of nobility turns to Leonardo da Vinci to have their portrait painted, it was that only the Mona Lisa painting achieved celebrity. This significant discovery is a large contribution by historians of this day, now we do not have to question who that woman in the painting is and speculations of every kind ends with this discovery. Knowing the true identity of Mona Lisa will help us to realise more on the culture of their time and how beautiful the ladies are during Leonardo da Vinci’s time.
