Answer 2

heavily, this is what some artwork scholars think of. Mona Lisa's smile has no longer something to do with the way Da Vinci drew her mouth nor her face... The background did all of it... It replaced into like an phantasm that Mona Lisa's form of 'precis' background replaced into an phantasm. in case you look at it heavily, you will see that the left factor looks to no longer adventure the ultimate area. If the background replaced into drawn, the left could be aligned with the ultimate. yet one factor seems to be greater, hence bobbing up an phantasm of the 'mysterious smile'. nevertheless, some theories recommend that Mona Lisa is Da Vinci being a woman mutually as others think of that Mona Lisa is neither a guy nor female... :)

Mona Lisa's smile has repeatedly been a subject of many - frequently ridiculous - interpretations. Sigmund Freud interpreted the 'smile' as signifying Leonardo's ****** attraction to his dear mother;[15] others have described it as both innocent and inviting. Many researchers have tried to explain why the smile is seen so differently by people. The explanations range from scientific theories about human vision to curious supposition about Mona Lisa's identity and feelings. Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University has argued that the smile is mostly drawn in low spatial frequencies, and so can best be seen from a distance or with one's peripheral vision[16]. Thus, for example, the smile appears more striking when looking at the portrait's eyes than when looking at the mouth itself. Christopher Tyler and Leonid Kontsevich of the Smith-Kettlewell Institute in San Francisco believe that the changing nature of the smile is caused by variable levels of random noise in human visual system.[17] Dina Goldin, Adjunct Professor at Brown University, has argued that the secret is in the dynamic position of Mona Lisa's facial muscles, where our mind's eye unconsciously extends her smile; the result is an unusual dynamicity to the face that invokes subtle yet strong emotions in the viewer of the painting.[18]

In late 2005, Dutch researchers from the University of Amsterdam ran the painting's image through an "emotion recognition" computer software developed in collaboration with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.[17] The software found the smile to be 83% happy, 9% disgusted, 6% fearful, 2% angry, less than 1% neutral, and not surprised at all. Rather than being a thorough analysis, the experiment was more of a demonstration of the new technology. The faces of ten women of Mediterranean ancestry were used to create a composite image of a neutral expression. Researchers then compared the composite image to the face in the painting. They used a grid to break the smile into small divisions, then checked it for each of six emotions: happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness.
