The Mona Lisa originally had eyebrows, according to a French art expert who has analysed Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece with a special camera. Pascal Cotte said da Vinci built the painting up in layers, the last being a special glaze whose optical properties increased the illusion of a three-dimensional face. Above the glaze Da Vinci painted details such as the eyebrows. Cotte said: "That could explain why the eyebrows have disappeared – they have faded because of chemical reactions or they have been cleaned off." He has uncovered a host of secrets about the Mona Lisa using a 240 megapixel camera. It can measure light so sensitively as to see through the top paint surface and uncover the layers below. For example, infra-red imaging shows da Vinci moved the position of a finger on the left hand "to give a more relaxed position, consistent with the smile", Cotte said. He said the Mona Lisa looked "totally different" 500 years ago, when it had a blue sky and the subject's skin had not yellowed. The underlying layers of the face - painted using lead white and mercury vermillion - also show it was wider than the end result appears. "The smile, the glance, the face were all wider," said Cotte. But da Vinci did not change his mind half way through, he said. On top of the base layers the artist added a glazed shadowing layer to create a three dimensional effect. "I do not say that he was successful, in reproducing a stereo-vision effect, but if you want to achieve that this is the best way to do it," said Cotte. "But now it looks totally different to how he painted it. All the optical effects have disappeared." He said that for da Vinci the Mona Lisa was "more than a painting, it was a challenge to reproduce real life". (Read by Chantal Anderson.

法國(guó)一位藝術(shù)專(zhuān)家日前稱(chēng)，蒙娜麗莎原本有眉毛。這位專(zhuān)家在使用一種專(zhuān)業(yè)相機(jī)對(duì)萊昂納多?達(dá)?芬奇的名作（《蒙娜麗莎的微笑》）進(jìn)行分析后得出了該結(jié)論。 帕斯卡爾?柯特稱(chēng)，達(dá)芬奇在繪制這張畫(huà)時(shí)使用了多層顏料，最表面的一層使用了一種特殊釉料，這種顏料的光學(xué)性能可增加人物面部的三維效果。在這層釉料上面，達(dá)芬奇繪制了眉毛等細(xì)節(jié)部位。 柯特說(shuō)：“這可以解釋為什么眉毛不見(jiàn)了，可能是由于化學(xué)反應(yīng)褪色了，或是被擦掉了。” 柯特使用一款240兆像素的相機(jī)揭開(kāi)了有關(guān)蒙娜麗莎的很多謎團(tuán)。這款相機(jī)可以精確地測(cè)量亮度，能夠透過(guò)表層“直視”下面的層次。 例如，從紅外圖像可以看出，達(dá)芬奇在作畫(huà)時(shí)改動(dòng)了蒙娜麗莎左手一根手指的位置。柯特說(shuō)：“這個(gè)位置給人的感覺(jué)更放松，與她的微笑很相稱(chēng)。” 他稱(chēng)，五百年前的蒙娜麗莎和現(xiàn)在“完全不同”，當(dāng)時(shí)畫(huà)上背景的天空是藍(lán)色的，人物的膚色也沒(méi)有變黃。 此外，從使用鉛白和銀朱繪制的面部以下的層次可以看出，蒙娜麗莎的臉部原本比現(xiàn)在寬。 柯特說(shuō)：“蒙娜麗莎的笑容、眼睛和臉部都比現(xiàn)在寬。” 他稱(chēng)，但達(dá)芬奇沒(méi)有中途改變主意，之后，他在底層上添加了一層釉料陰影層來(lái)制造三維效果。“ 柯特說(shuō)：“我并不是說(shuō)他在制造三維效果上做得很成功，但如果你想達(dá)到這種效果，這是最好的辦法。“ “但現(xiàn)在，這幅畫(huà)和最初達(dá)芬奇繪制它時(shí)已完全不同。所有的視覺(jué)效果都不見(jiàn)了。“ 他表示，對(duì)于達(dá)芬奇來(lái)說(shuō)，《蒙娜麗莎的微笑》“不僅是一幅畫(huà)作，還是重塑現(xiàn)實(shí)生活的一個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)。“ 相關(guān)閱讀 （英語(yǔ)點(diǎn)津Julie 姍姍編輯） |
