Museum Discovers Earliest Copy Of “Mona Lisa”
《蒙娜丽莎》“双胞胎”版亮相
“This sensational find will transform our understanding of the world?s most famous picture,” the Art Newspaper reported, adding that the underdrawing found on the Madrid version “suggests that the original and the copy were begun at the same time and painted next to each other, as the work evolved.”
西班牙马德里普拉多博物馆日前发现了达芬奇名画《蒙娜丽莎》的最早“双胞胎”。相关专家断定，从模特以及背景惊人的相似度来看，该画作者当时应该是与师傅达芬奇在同一工作室面对蒙娜丽莎本人同时作画。由于该画作500年来一直覆盖在层层油彩之下，罕与空气和尘埃接触，不曾发生过脱落与变色。与现收藏于卢浮宫略显晦暗的《蒙娜丽莎》“本尊”相比，该画作中的蒙娜丽莎面色清新红润，不沾岁月痕迹，活脱脱一个“冻容”版《蒙娜丽莎》。
