The latest version of the Mona Lisa, 'Lisa del Giocondo' was released.


 Lisa del Giocondo, similar to the Mona Lisa was relased in Geneva, Switzerland.


Mona Lisa Foundation opened 'Lisa del Giocondo' which looks more younger than Mona Lisa, hangs in the Louvre,
Paris to the public. It is receiving the attention of a wide public.

Mona Lisa Foundaion and some experts of  Da Vinci claimed that Leonardo da Vinci drew  'Lisa del Giocondo'  before he drew the existing work. They used not only carbon daing, regression analysis by computer but also forensical examination to investigate the authenticity of   'Lisa del Giocondo'.  Also, they strongly insisted that  this new released work should be recognized as the first version of Mona Lisa, as well as getting back the rank of art history.



But, there is no decisive evidence yet,  the authenticity of  Lisa del Giocondo could not be proved.
One of the Da Vinci study researchers Martin Camp, a professor at Oxford University said  "That print is not a genuine."  He pointed out  model's cloth, hair and background of the painting. Especially he pointed out the fact that most work of Leonardo Da Vinci was painted on the wood. He said "If that is appraised as a genuine print of Leonardo da Vinci, Mona Lisa Foundaion will have profit, more than $300 million, so Mona Lisa Foundation was investigating a lot of money to be proved as the latest version of Mona Lisa."



Professor Alexandro, founder of  Davinci Museum said "Even though this painting is very interesting, additional study is needed." Other expertx of art also said "We can not find Leonardo's delicate expression in Lisa del Giocondo, this painting is inferior to Mona Lisa ."

  1. I think that you did more work that you had to. For this assignment, I stated that you only needed to do a summary (not paraphrase/complete translation. However, doing more than required is not a bad thing :-) I obviously didn't make this clear because I'm adding this same message to many of the postings.

    "investigating a lot of money" -> "investing a lot of money"
    "It is receiving the attention of a wide public." -> "It is receiving broad public attention."

    "they strongly insisted" -> "they strongly suggest" (this is still happening).

    "Other expertx of art also said" -> "Another art expert added/said" (it is often better to move the description in front of the noun, in this case, "art".
