Had no eyebrows is not a strange thing for women of today who like to preen. Shave
off the hair over the eyes was deliberately done in order to facilitate
them to paint a perfectly arched eyebrow in the morning rush. But Mona Lisa was not a woman of today. Wife of Florentine merchant who was painted by Leonardo Da Vinci's life in the 16th century. So there were many questions why a woman in the painting did not have eyebrows, even eyelashes.
Some researchers claim that plucking facial hair is a common practice for women civilized at that time. Therefore, the hair was not considered beautiful views. Of course, this explanation did not satisfy many connoisseurs of her smile was full of question marks. Pascal Cotte was one of them. Parisians are often wonder why the Mona Lisa painting is different from the other maestro. Da Vinci was always scratching his eyebrows and eyelashes in all his paintings.
Da Vinci's most famous of these is not new for Cotte. In 1969, a small Cotte borrowed his mom's Metro pass card and go to the Louvre Museum to see for themselves what is called the mother as the world's most beautiful paintings. 11 year-old boy stood for hours in front of the painting etrsebut, so long that a museum guard offered his seat.
Already 35 years have passed, Cotte - who is now an engineer - back to spend three hours in front of the painting. However, this time he brought a giant camera and permission to remove the painting from the frame and safety box. Photographs Cotte shots, including the eyes, mouth, and hands are magnified 20 times, on display at the Metreon, San Francisco, USA.
Photos are enlarged eye that finally answers the question Cotte. When examining the photograph, she found a hair on the forehead of the Mona Lisa's left, evidence of what was once an eyebrow. There is the possibility of eyebrows lost due to fading paint pigment or deleted because of a careless restoration efforts. "I am an engineer and scientist. For me, everything should make sense," he said. "It makes sense that the Mona Lisa has no eyebrows or eyelashes. I found a piece of eyebrow hair."
In addition to finding an eyebrow, Cotte created a reproduction of what he called the most accurate high definition of painting is 500 years old. Thanks to the technique of scanning 240 million pixel image using 13 colors of the spectrum, including ultraviolet and infrared, Cotte can display the original color of the painting was completed when the new Da Vinci.
Cotte said digital scanning ultradetail painting allows him to dig through the pile is effectively a multi-layered paint and see the real face of Lisa Gherardini, the woman in the painting. "Enough with the pictures, you can go deeper into the construction of the painting and understand that Leonardo was a genius," Cotte said at the opening of the exhibition "Da Vinci: An exhibition of Genius" in San Francisco on Wednesday.
Birth of a super camera Cotte expertise in the field of optics and light painting to help him check his obsession. Men's 49-year estimate of no less than 3,000 hours spent analyzing data from scans he made Mona Lisa in the Louvre laboratory three years ago.
Sensor detecting the color spectrum of light from ultraviolet to infrared and invisible to the human eye also revealed many details are missing from the painting. This picture makes Cotte zoom in to see the change right hand positions wife of Francesco del Giocondo, which is located right in the stomach.
Before the Mona Lisa, there is never a portrait painting with the hands like that. Although Da Vinci did not know the reason, many artists who imitate the position.
Cotte discovered the pigment under the right wrist exactly as the picture blanket covering Mona Lisa's knees. It was explained that the forearm and wrist that holds one side of the blanket. "Right wrist was located far above the stomach," said Cotte. "But, when viewed over the use of infrared, you'll know that he was holding the blanket with her wrist."
Infrared image also reveals sketches that were under the pile of coats of paint and varnish. Cotte says it shows that Da Vinci is also human. "If you pay attention to his left hand, you can see the first position of their fingers and change his mind and painted it with another position," he said. "Even Da Vinci also had doubts."
The analysis also revealed Cotte original color painting. Time, varnishes, and restoration of paintings that are now causing stored behind bulletproof glass that seemed filled with a dark green color, yellow, and brown.
However, 22 gigabytes of digital photos produced 13 different color filters rather than three or four color filters are commonly found in digital camera market, restore the original color of the painting. In its original form, the Mona Lisa has the bright blue and bright white. "For the next generation, we guarantee you'll be able to see the original color of the painting," Cotte said.
Although some art historians have expressed skepticism over the findings, Cotte hope this new technique can be used as a guide for the restoration of a variety of ancient paintings in the future. After scanning the Mona Lisa, Cotte create images with super-resolution of 500 paintings, including works by Van Gogh, Brueghel, Courbet and other European painters. "To communicate the cultural heritage for our children, we need to provide as much information," Cotte said.
