Where did the Mona Lisa s eyebrows go?

109- Where did the Mona Lisa's eyebrows go? After magnifying 24 times, I saw the truth.

At the time when Leonardo da Vinci created this painting, women at that time were prevalent in shaving their eyebrows and wide foreheads, so the Mona Lisa also had no eyebrows.

Maybe it's not very detailed.

She picked it off, ready to embroider her eyebrows.

Probably not, probably only blinking.

Hee-hee......

The Mona Lisa now looks like it has no eyebrows, in fact, there are three main reasons, of course, these three reasons are also the guesses in most people's minds, not the exact reasons. First of all, the first reason was that I deliberately did not draw eyebrows when I was creating at that time, the purpose was to preserve the beauty of the whole painting, and I was afraid that once I painted my eyebrows, I would destroy the perfect feeling of the whole painting, so I deliberately did not draw eyebrows.

01 The first reason is everyone's speculation, mainly because the Mona Lisa that people see so far is too perfect, so any move to add to the snake is superfluous in the eyes of people nowadays. In fact, there is a second reason, that is, in the original time, it was actually the eyebrows, but because the preservation is not particularly perfect, in the long river of history, the eyebrows slowly disappeared.

02 There is actually a certain argument for this reason, because scientists found that there are still certain traces after enlarging the eyebrows when the Mona Lisa painted the portrait. Although this mark is very slight or not particularly obvious, scientists have determined that the eyebrows were actually present before.

03 In fact, there is a third reason, that is, it is similar to the second reason, that is, there were actually eyebrows before, but after the portrait of the Mona Lisa was damaged due to long-term storage, people accidentally wiped off the eyebrows when the portrait of the Mona Lisa was repaired.

04 However, if you add this eyebrow, it may destroy the beauty of the whole painting, so future generations will not paint a snake in the sky, which is the main reason why Lisa has no eyebrows now. In fact, the third reason is a synthesis of the first two reasons, but it is impossible to infer which one is now, but most people are guessing, just like 1000 people have 1000 Hamlets in their hearts, and everyone has their own conjecture about the specific reason.

The Mona Lisa did not have eyebrows because women at the time had the habit of removing eyebrows.

Created at the beginning of the 16th century, the Mona Lisa depicts the image of a noblewoman, whose elegant posture and serene image are vividly displayed, and also reflects the bourgeoisie's lack of women's pursuit of beauty. During the Western Renaissance, women, especially aristocratic women, regarded the absence of eyebrows as beauty, and even believed that the absence of eyebrows was the embodiment of nobility.

At the time, the woman in the Mona Lisa was the wife of a wealthy merchant, and she was a typical aristocratic woman, so she certainly did not have eyebrows that did not match her status. In addition, in Raphael's "Madonna on the Grass", the hostess in the painting does not have eyebrows, and looks very maternal, but if you add eyebrows, the charm will be changed.

Contents of the painting:

The size of the original Mona Lisa: 77 cm in height and 53 cm in width, the work is painted on a black poplar board. The Mona Lisa portrait has no eyebrows or eyelashes, and the face looks very harmonious.

If you look directly at the Mona Lisa's mouth, you will feel that she is not smiling much; However, when looking into her eyes and feeling the shadows on her cheeks, you will feel that she is smiling.

The Mona Lisa, sitting on a semi-circular wooden chair with a railing behind it, separates the figures from the background, with roads, rivers, bridges, and mountains in the background, which blend with the smile of the Mona Lisa under the brushwork of Leonardo da Vinci's "Unbounded Gradient Coloring Method", exuding a dreamy and mysterious atmosphere.

In this regard, people have speculated about the reason why the Mona Lisa does not have eyebrows, first of all, it is believed that the characters in the painting have eyebrows, and Leonardo da Vinci deliberately did not draw eyebrows in order to create, because the thrush and cherry blossoms caused the whole face to be uncoordinated, and the "three courts and five eyes" in the painting were destroyed, which affected the beauty, so Leonardo da Vinci did not draw eyebrows.

The second reason is that the figure in the painting originally had eyebrows, but the oil painting was placed for a long time, which caused the oil painting to fade and fall off. Some experts magnified the "Mona Lisa" several times and found that after the left eye of the Mona Lisa was magnified, it showed that there was a slight stroke in the eyebrow area, so logically speaking, the Mona Lisa did not have no eyebrows, but only a thin stroke of the eyebrows. After hundreds of years of this painting, such a faint eyebrow has faded.

The third reason is that the later generations smeared it off during the restoration, and after magnifying and observing, it was found that the cracks around the eyes had disappeared, which indicates that the painting had been repaired by later generations, and the eyebrows may have been wiped off in the process of cleaning and restoration.

It is said that Leonardo da Vinci shaved off her eyebrows because of her wide forehead, so he did not paint the Mona Lisa's eyebrows.

。。Do Europeans have high eyebrows? In addition, Leonardo da Vinci painted the neighbor's woman. The grade is a little older... So the eyebrows are not as pronounced as those of Asians.

At that time, it was popular for women to kick off their eyebrows, just like women like to wear Qi B short skirts now

Because the chemical reaction reacted down.
