Yes, I've heard that--she's pregnant. Personally, I think she farted.

"Ok, but what was she happy about?"
Well, it is recorded that to keep her from getting bored during the portrait sittings [Leonardo took some 4 years to paint the portrait] he used to invite music players and singers [and maybe other entertainers as well]. So it would depend on what they were performing. With contemporary cacophony I would expect much higher percentage of disgust.

"With contemporary cacophony I would expect much higher percentage of disgust." How do you know they weren't playing opera?

Maybe Mona Lisa was Leonardo's girlfriend?
After a particularly romantic evening with bubble bath and candles and wine and back-rubs and ...
but maybe she was just a little miffed at the thing he tried to do with the kitchen spatula ...

Opera had't yet been invented by the time, I believe.

Anyone ever see the beginning of "Hudson Hawk" ?
Da Vinci sees the model dozing next to the painting with the mouth part unfinished. He claps her hands to wake her. She wakes up and smiles with a mouthful of rotten teeth.

From a non art critic's point of view, I always thought Mona was just an unemployed broad earning a couple of bucks by being painted by an unemployed aluminum siding salesman.........

You know, after the theft of The Scream in Norway, I hope that other European museums tighten up their security, because it's not always so good. For instance, I would tell the people in Paris, "There must be 50 ways to leave your Louvre."
To: manwiththehands
Maybe Mona Lisa was Leonardo's girlfriend? Or maybe she was his student.
