Mona Lisa

A team of researchers,revealed that the Mona lisa was painted with her hair tied back in bun originally with the aid of modern 3D scan.


Reason that support their conclusion,
Old controversy because only girls or women of bad virtue wore their hair loose in 16th century Italy, said CRRMF project leader Bruno Mottin, and the real Mona Lisa was a woman of social stature.

Findings on the person who painted Mona Lisa, Leonardo Da Vinci
The research discovered lack of brushstrokes and thought Da Vinci may have used his fingers to paint but there's no fingerprint from the scan.

How he did it ?

Scans of the "Mona Lisa" revealed that darker areas, such as the eyes and corners of her smile, are thicker and "composed of a succession of thinly applied glaze layers"
It's extremely thinly painted and extremely flat.

How he did it again ?

Maybe those how to's are the reasons why "Mona Lisa" standout from the rest.
