Yes, four years older than Luther, 6 years younger than Copernicus.

When the article says she "ended her life" it almost sounds like she committed suicide.

One clue is the family name; the official name of the picture is "La Gioconda".

How the hell does he know this woman was the Mona Lisa after 500 + years?

My thoughts exactly. Whether this guy is right or not, modern historians are far too cocky.

the wife of Francesco del Giocondo

OK...we know that they found the death notice of this man's wife. But there is no guarantee that she is in fact the Mona Lisa.

No clue in the article as to why she is widely accepted as being such.

Valuable piece of information, that.
