...wife of obscure Florentine merchant Francesco del Giocond, and that Leonardo started painting it in 1503.

Obscure merchant, Francesco del Giocond. Well, it's five hundred years later and folks still know his name and what his profession was. That's not too obscure.

I belong to that uneducated (in art) group that look at a painting and may like it or may not, based on what I see and not someone else's interpretation.

Being politically incorrect means that your opinions don't count (unless they can, somehow, "straighten you out").

Being politically incorrect, I have no right to say anything about the "Mona Lisa"

* I do like it, as a treat to the eyes (can't touch, hear, or smell it) so to me, its value is in what I see and that's excellent. Don't need some liberal explaining to me something I can see with my own eyes...I think they want to put "tinted glasses" on everyone so they will be forced to see things their way.

Don't go mentioning this in Frisco Texas. Nudity and Pregnancy are not politically correct educational topics.

I've always felt Mona Lisa needed eyebrows.

Somebody send me some grant money for my contention that the subject of "The Scream" was a premature ejaculator.

Researchers using three-dimensional technology to study the "Mona Lisa" say the woman depicted in Leonardo da Vinci's 16th century masterpiece was either pregnant or had recently given birth when she sat for the painting

That's not exactly suprising. This was painted in a devoutly Catholic land in the age before birth control. Unless a girl was of the noble classes, she was generally married between 14 and 16, became immediately sexually active, and started bearing children. She would then spend the rest of her life either pregnant or nursing a baby (God's gift to a mothers sanity). That's just the way things were back then. Since "Mona" obviously appears to be old enough for marriage, and since she wasn't a noble, it was a pretty solid bet that she was either pregnant or had young children.

"...there were no signs of any brush stroke."

He probably used a roller.
