According to a leading Italian art historian, the model used for the ‘Mona Lisa’ was in fact a man. Apparently, the man in question was da Vinci’s apprentice and possibly even his lover. What, da Vinci could have been a gay artist? How shocking.
It’s not clear how Dan Brown missed this but there’s a bunch of code hidden in Mona Lisa’s eyes. That reveals her true identity. Very clever that, Mr Da Vinci. Get us all hooked on her smile and hide all the good stuff in her eyes. Well played, sir. Can’t wait to see what you’ve got going on around the ears.
