What was famous work of leonardo da vinci" MONALISA" originally named as ?

Answer 1

Another name for the painting is also La Gioconda


LIKE Jesus Christ on the male side, is Mona Lisa the most worshipped woman in the world, and her curious look and smile attracted modern masses like a Hollywood star when it left Louvre to tour the world. There is something special behind this fragile painting stored in the bullet proof box in Musée du Louvre that attracts the vast attention without skepticism - a direct hit into the heart, for a moment reason is suspended and imagination rules. Leonardo's biographer Vasari describes this painting as a sublime masterpiece with splendid details admiring also 'her eyebrows' which are unfortunately not painted, since s/he is painted without the eyebrows, and so a doubt rises whether Vasari really saw the painting in persona, or is he just spreading what he heard. Leonardo was so fond of this work that he always carried it with him until sold to French king Francois I.


This antagonistic painting is constantly pulsating the same question: Who is the person portrayed - a woman or a man? The usual suspicions go in two directions: if it is a woman, which according to this line of reasoning most probably is, then it is a painting of the Florentine lady Lisa Gherardini del Giocondo, commissioned by her husband Francesco del Giocondo. There are also some other suggestions like Isabella of Aragon or the mistress of Giuliano de' Medici.

But if the portrayed is a man, then who is he: a lover of Leonardo or at least his affection for a man disguised in the portrait of a woman or a hermaphrodite? As every masterpiece, it opens more questions than gives the answers. Every square inch of this painting has been analyzed by many researchers seeking for the secret code that would unveil the mystery of the portrayed, but nothing definitive has been published yet., nor will ever be ...


SHIFTING IDENTITY


A very old method used for encoding the additional, intentional messages into artistic compositions is kabbalistic exegesis called gematria, often confused with numerology. Gematria is useful because it deals with words that have numeric values (read measures), and relates similar values to similar meanings. If we use simple Latin code of values of letters and calculate the famous title of the painting a value of 84 is obtained:

MONA LISA = (13+15+14+1) + (12+9+19+1) = 84.

Another name for the painting is also La Gioconda, or as a variant LA GIOCCONDA, which has the same gematric value:

LA GIOCCONDA = (12+1) + (7+9+15+3+3+15+14+4+1) = 84.

'La Giocconda' can be translated as a 'playful woman', which is perhaps one of the reason of her peculiar smile. But her mysterious smile conceals also another enigma, of her identity .


The above gematric calculations are also amplified by the composition of circles that rule the proportions of the portrayed. If the width of the painting is considered as 1 Venetian cubit, then three circles and four circles in height equal 18 and 24 oncia respectively. The circumference of this rectangle 18 : 24, enclosing the figure is again concealing the number 84:

circumference = 2 x (18+24) = 84.

This number really seems to be of extraordinary importance for this painting, no wonder since it is also a number that unveils the master himself:

LEONARDO = 12+5+15+14+1+18+4+15 = 84.

Answer 3

The title Mona Lisa stems from the Giorgio Vasari biography of Leonardo da Vinci, published 31 years after Leonardo's death. In it, he identified the sitter as Lisa, the wife of wealthy Florentine businessman Francesco del Giocondo. "Mona" is a common Italian contraction of "madonna," meaning "my lady," the equivalent of the English "Madam," so the title means "Madam Lisa." In modern Italian the short form of "madonna" is usually spelled "Monna," so the title is sometimes given as Monna Lisa. This is rare in English, but more common in Romance languages.

The alternative title La Gioconda is the feminine form of Giocondo. In Italian giocondo also means 'light-hearted' ('jocund' in English), so "gioconda" means "light-hearted woman". Because of her smile, this version of the title plays on this double-meaning, as in the French "La Joconde."

Both Mona Lisa and La Gioconda became established as titles for the painting in the 19th century. Before these names became established, the painting had been referred to by various descriptive phrases, such as "a certain Florentine lady" and "a courtesan in a gauze veil."
