Among the masterpieces created by the Italian artist, the "Mona Lisa" can be considered one of his most famous works and up to now, it is still a priceless masterpiece.

Not only famous for her painting technique, Mona Lisa's smile in the painting has also become the subject of research by many experts because of its mystery. In the eyes of scholars, Mona Lisa's smile contains 83% happiness, 9% disgust, 6% fear and 2% anger.

But beyond its mystery, after using high technology to magnify the painting 400 times, researchers have also discovered three secrets that have been hidden in the painting for many years.

The painting contains many secrets that few people know.

First is the secret hidden in the background of the painting. If we look with the naked eye, we can only see the mountains and rivers behind the Mona Lisa. But after zooming in, researchers believe they have discovered the shapes of four hidden animals: an ape, a lion, a buffalo, and a snake. An artist named Ron Picinello has speculated that the four hidden animals in the painting symbolize jealousy and evil. At the same time, Mona Lisa's curved right hand implies a disdain for good over evil.

The second mystery discovered after enlarging the painting was the hidden face of a woman behind the Mona Lisa's face. Because of its special position and the surrounding color, this detail is very difficult to recognize. Researchers believe that, compared to the Mona Lisa, this face is very small overall. After comparison, it was determined that this woman could actually be Da Vinci's mother, because she looks very similar to Da Vinci.

As for the third secret , it can be seen that the Mona Lisa in the painting has no eyebrows or eyelashes. When zooming in on the painting many times, people discovered two letters in the right eye of Mona Lisa, possibly LV, which is believed to be the two initials of Leonardo da Vinci's name .

After these three secrets were revealed, many debates regarding the painting broke out. These hypotheses contributed to the painting receiving more attention from the public. However, the only person who could verify these hypotheses was Leonardo da Vinci.
