Leonardo da Vinci, in a Renaissance version of Mad Magazine, may have painted his famous Mona Lisa in a number of ways, including nude. Now, a painting has surfaced that looks much like the original, sparking debate over just how far the master took his iconic painting.
The newly revealed painting, hidden for almost a century within the wood wall of a private library, shows a portrait of a half-naked woman with clear links to the famous (and clothed) Mona Lisa.
The work, which documents suggest was at least based on never-seen similar work by da Vinci, is now on exhibit at the Museo Ideale in the Tuscan town of Vinci, where da Vinci was born in 1452.
The lady in the portrait does not exactly resemble the original Mona Lisa, but there is little doubt it has parallels with the painting hanging at the Louvre museum in Paris.

Which explains that forced smile on the original, doesn’t it?

You folks realize that, even as we speak, some angry faggot is likely photoshopping Carrie Prejean’s head on this painting and sending it to Donald Trump?

You just spoiled a perfectly good thread. There should be a Free Republic rule against posting any more photos of her.

Duuuuuuude.
It is not that Mona Lisa is hot.
It is that the painting captured some of the enigma of her smile.

It is getting old and pretty worn out.
Seems to indicate a lack of creative mojo...
