Yes, I'm well aware of the theory that Leonardo Da Vinci posed in drag for the
Mona Lisa. That question is far from settled, and most art historians think it was a lady named Lisa Del Giocondo, formerly Lisa Geradini (which is why she is also known as La Gioconda).
Archaeologists in Florence believe they have found her bones beneath an Ursuline convent in Florence. She retired to the convent after her husband's death, passing away in 1542. Are those the bones of the most-famous face in art? She rests with her arms across her chest. How long before the skull is reconstructed? We knew you when...
