500年前达芬奇·里奥纳多画了这幅当今西方艺术上最富盛名的画作，目前真迹被放在巴黎卢浮宫博物馆，也成为了卢浮宫博物馆的三大镇馆之宝之一，而蒙娜·丽莎那神秘的微笑更是几百年来许多专家学者的研究对象。最新研究显示这幅画作中的模特可能是一位怀孕女性——而这也恰恰是达芬奇创作这幅画作的原因。 Five hundred years after Leonardo painted the most famous picture in Western art, new research suggests that his model may have been an expectantmother - and that he painted her for preciselythat reason. 500年前达芬奇·里奥纳多画了这幅当今西方艺术上最富盛名的画作，最新研究显示这幅画作中的模特可能是位怀孕女性——而这也恰恰是达芬奇创作这幅画作的原因。 Mona Lisa is a puzzle and quite unlike any other picture of the time. In the materialisticculture of early-16th-century Florence, portraits weren't an expression of individuality and character, they were an advert for wealth and social status. But far from being the height of fashion, Mona Lisa's dress is utterly plain and timeless and, despite the fact that she is a married woman, she wears no jewellery, not even a wedding ring. 《蒙娜丽莎》这一幅作品和当时的其他作品不太一样。在16世纪早期的佛罗伦萨，一切都处在唯物主义的指导下，肖像画作不是用来展示个画中人物的性格而是一种财富和社会地位的象征。这幅画作里的蒙娜丽莎却没有显现出当时的潮流，她穿着的服装朴实无华，完全看不出来她是个已婚的女性，既没有佩戴珠宝也没有戴戒指。 The mystery deepens when we learn that Leonardo never delivered the portrait. Instead, he continued to work on it for many years and kept the Mona Lisa by his side until his death on May 2, 1519. 当我们了解到达芬奇·里奥纳多不仅没有把这幅画卖出，还在之后的很多年里继续创作这幅画，并最终将这幅画珍藏到死。这一切更加加深了这幅画的神秘感。 Rona Goffen, professor of art history at Ruttgers University, argues that although Mona Lisa began as a portrait, at some point its purpose changed: "It was intenselypersonal to Leonardo, something that he would develop over the years entirely for himself." 罗格斯大学艺术史教授Rona Goffen认为《蒙娜丽莎》起初是一幅肖像画，但是在某种意义上却有了不同的目的：“里奥纳多倾注了强烈的个人情感，让他在之后几年里都在继续创作这幅画作。” |
