Mona Lisa's coded message |
《蒙娜麗莎》雙目現(xiàn)密碼 |
Historians have discovered minute numbers and letters in the eyes of the Mona Lisa, the Daily Mail reported. Silvano Vinceti, president of Italy's National Committee for Cultural Heritage, said the symbols are not visible to the naked eye but can be seen clearly with a magnifying glass. In the right eye are the letters LV which could well stand for Leonardo da Vinci, while in the left eye there are also symbols, but less clearly defined. It is very difficult to make them out, but they appear to be the letters CE, or possibly the letter B. In the arch of a bridge in the background the number 72, or perhaps an L followed by a 2, can be seen. The picture is almost 500 years old and the symbols are not as sharp and clear as when they were first painted. |
據(jù)英國《每日郵報(bào)》報(bào)道,藝術(shù)史家日前在蒙娜麗莎的雙目中發(fā)現(xiàn)了迷你數(shù)字和字母。意大利全國文化遺產(chǎn)委員會(huì)主席希爾瓦諾?文塞蒂稱,這些符號(hào)用肉眼看不到,但在放大鏡下卻清晰可見。蒙娜麗莎的右眼內(nèi)有LV字母,很可能代表了他的名字達(dá)芬奇,而左眼內(nèi)也有一些符號(hào),但不是很清晰,辨認(rèn)起來有很大難度。它們看著像是字母CE,或是字母B。在背景中的拱橋上可以看到數(shù)字72,或者是一個(gè)L和2。這幅作品已由近500年的歷史,所以這些符號(hào)不可能像剛剛畫完時(shí)那樣棱角分明,清晰可見。 |
