American Mystery Solver, Scott Lund, Set to Prove Mona Lisa Was Not Painted in Florence Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) August 18, 2011 “The idea that the Mona Lisa was painted in Florence is the biggest red herring in art history,†says Scott Lund, an investigative writer who claims he can prove a silk merchant's wife living there was not the subject of Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece. Leonardo left Milan in 1499 after an invasion by the King of France sent its ruling Sforza family fleeing the city.
Researchers are digging up the remains of an Italian noblewoman who they believe could be the model who sat for Leonardo da Vinci's infamous Mona Lisa masterpiece.
Queen’s University Classics professor emeritus Ross Kilpatrick believes the Leonardo da Vinci masterpiece, the Mona Lisa, incorporates images inspired by the Roman poet Horace and Florentine poet Petrarch.
