蒙娜麗莎是何許人也
The enigmatic smile of the Mona Lisa in Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece has intrigued experts for centuries, but an Italian art historian now claims to have found out the real identity of Mona Lisa after studying numbers and letters in her eyes and on the bridge in the background。
Last month a series of numbers and letters were found in the eyes of the Mona Lisa, as well as on the bridge over her left shoulder. Now art historian Carla Glori says the structure of the arched bridge was similar to the one that crossed the River Trebbia and which was washed away in 1472 - the last two numbers being painted into the bridge。
Glori also said that she was confident the woman in the painting was Bianca Giovanna Sforza. She was the daughter of Ludovico il Moro, the nobleman who controlled Bobbio and who lived 500 years ago - the letters said to have been found in the Mona Lisa's eye last month are said to be S and G, two of Bianca's initials。
Glori said:" From my research I have identified the subject as Bianca Giovanna Sforza and the bridge in the background is the one that spanned the River Trebbia at Bobbio. Five hundred years ago Bobbio was an important centre of culture famous for its library. It's highly likely that Da Vinci visited Bobbio because of its famous library."
But retired Oxford University professor Martin Kemp - a Da Vinci expert - is not convinced by Miss Glori's theory. "The portrait is almost certainly of Lisa del Giocondo. There have been many attempts to identify the landscape as a specific location and I do not find the resemblance to the Bobbio bridge all that close."英國《每日郵報》9日報道稱，讀達•芬奇名作中蒙娜麗莎的神祕微笑曾讓專家們神往了幾個世紀，然而一位意大利藝術史學家日前宣稱，在研究過蒙娜•麗莎眼睛中、背景橋上的數字和字母后，她已經知道蒙娜•麗莎到底爲何許人也。
上月，人們在畫作《蒙娜•麗莎》中發現，蒙娜麗莎的眼睛中乃至其左肩膀上方的橋上，都畫有數字和字母。而如今藝術史學家卡拉•格洛裏稱畫中的拱橋結構同如今坐落在(意大利博比奧市)特雷比亞河上的原拱橋特雷比亞大橋相似。特雷比亞大橋1472年曾被大水沖毀——7、2正是畫在橋上的兩個數字。
格洛裏還篤定畫中女子是比安卡•喬凡娜•斯福扎(Bianca Giovanna Sforza)。比安卡是500多年前掌控博比奧市的貴族米蘭公爵盧多維科•摩洛的女兒——上個月在蒙娜•麗莎眼睛中發現的字母S和G，就是比安卡全名的縮寫。
格洛裏說：“通過我的研究，我確定主人公就是比安卡，背景中的橋就是橫跨博比奧市特雷比亞河的那座。500年前，博比奧是重要的文化中心，以藏書聞名於世。達•芬奇很可能因此去過博比奧。”
但是牛津大學退休教授、達•芬奇專家馬丁•凱姆普並不爲格洛裏的理論所信服：“畫中主人公顯然是(意大利貴婦)麗莎•喬康多。之前對於將背景的具體地址確定下來我們曾做過很多嘗試，而我曾近距離觀測博比奧大橋，並未發現有相似之處。”
