The biggest secret of the Mona Lisa is why it costs 2 billion Euros?




Mona Lisa

The biggest mystery in the world of arts is why the painting named "Mona Lisa" is so expensive.The biggest mystery in the world of arts is why the painting named "Mona Lisa" is so expensive. In fact, there is no prize for "Mona Lisa". That value of that painting is immeasurable. But when we are talking about the prize of that painting, the prize means the insurance, what is taken for it. That prize is 2 billion Euros, but the question is about the national treasure of France, and the painting is not for sale by any prize.


When we are thinking about the history of that painting, the thing is that it's not so big or impressive, what we are normally thinking or expecting. What makes this painting so well known, is that it is so expensive. In the history is claimed, that "Mona Lisa" could be Italian noblewoman, whose name is mentioned in some documents, but in fact, we cannot be sure, was that woman really the woman, who sat as the model for that painting. The thing is, that this painting can be ordered and paid by some person, but somebody else could sit in the front of the master, who painted the painting.


One interesting theory about this painting is that the body of the character would be painted first, and in that process, the model could be anybody, who Leonardo knew. But when the faces have been painted, the model could be changed, or they were painted by using drawing. Sometimes I have thought that maybe the "Mona Lisa" is synthetic work. That means that Leonardo and some of the friends of him could play the game, where they asked each other to description the most beautiful woman, what they can imagine. And then the drawer would make that picture.


Maybe the form of the faces of Mona Lisa would created by some artist, who worked for the "night's official", what meant the Italian version of the "Men in black". That picture was given to Leonardo and then he painted this most famous painting in the world. This could be one explanation, why this painting is so special. The time, what Leonardo spent with this painting was very long. The creation process took almost 20 years, and during the life of Leonardo, that painting had no prize at all. But then the painting was found, and there are many thoughts, why it has so high prize.


The thing is that this painting has many rumors and claiming around it. And when one Italian thief stole that painting, what was found a couple of years later. There are stories, that this Italian painter worked for payment, as the hired actor. Rumors started because that poor thief would not have money and how he could explain that painting. If the painting would have insurance for 2 billion Euros, there must be something special in it.

What is Alexandretta? (How the AI must act if it tries to find something)

Image above: The Damsel of the Sanct Grael by Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1874) (Wikipedia, Holy Grail) The image above portrays the lady. Lady keeps the Holy Gail in her hand. And there is a bird behind that lady. The bird carries some ball, and that causes an idea. That maybe the Holy Grail was two-part merchandise. The human has the cup, and then. Some unknown thing brings the activator. So, the Holy Grail requires two parts. The cup and the activator. And in stories, the Holy Grail is ineffective without that activator.   And if we think freely, that activator can be the ball, there is forming a miniature black hole when the lightning hits that thing. Or maybe the electric shock drives DNA to the person who keeps the Holy Grail in their hands. The high-power electric shock that the electric eel makes can transfer genomes from one species to another. And that makes Holy Grail interesting.  There is lots of fiction and almost fact about the Holy Grail. Somebody said that the Holy Grail w

James Marshall Tartini's dream

Picture I https://kimmontaidearvioita.blogspot.com/ Kimmo Huosionmaa John Marshall's painting about the figure, what Italian violist and composer Giuseppe Tartini (1692-1770) claimed to see in a dream. This figure played the composition, what is known as the Devil's Sonata. This story is one of the most incredible tales about things, what people see in dreams. I think that Marshall took the image of the red-skinned devil from the medieval paintings and the story has told about the case, that one composer claimed that devil has taught one of the greatest compositions,  made to him. The story, about the devil, who sits on the bed at the next of Tartini, and played the violin, is the thing, what made Tartini very scary. One remarkable thing is, that this man remembers the dream in the morning because the memory has been shut down during the sleep. So there were suspicious that somebody was really sitting on the bed of this composer. Many people don't even remember,
