| Mona Lisa's coded message |
《蒙娜丽莎》双目现密码 |
| 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. |
据英国《每日邮报》报道，艺术史家日前在蒙娜丽莎的双目中发现了迷你数字和字母。意大利全国文化遗产委员会主席希尔瓦诺•文塞蒂称，这些符号用肉眼看不到，但在放大镜下却清晰可见。蒙娜丽莎的右眼内有LV字母，很可能代表了他的名字达芬奇，而左眼内也有一些符号，但不是很清晰，辨认起来有很大难度。它们看着像是字母CE，或是字母B。在背景中的拱桥上可以看到数字72，或者是一个L和2。这幅作品已由近500年的历史，所以这些符号不可能像刚刚画完时那样棱角分明，清晰可见。 |
