Synopsis
Applying the cutting-edge forensic techniques of television's "CSI" to the world's most famous painting yields a fresh look at an old friend in "Mona Lisa." A step-by-step examination of how Leonardo's masterwork was constructed, using the latest advances in scientific observation, measurement, and analysis, this book almost literally peels back the layers on one of the most iconic images in world history. How did Leonardo prepare his panel, mix his paints, and compose his picture? For the first time ever a team of experts looks at these questions with an exacting scientific eye. Their answers shed light on both the mind of Leonardo and the wider world of Renaissance painting. A fascinating combination of science, forensics, and art history, this gorgeous, oversized volume outdoes even the most imaginative novelist in cracking da Vinci's creative code., Leonardo's Mona Lisa is so well known that we think we have heard everything about it. This book is a report from the front of painting conservation science. Advances in radiography, optical scanning, infrared reflectography and a number of other new techniques have revealed a wealth of new information about the panel on which the Mona Lisa was painted, the underdrawing and underpainting of the image, the paint surface and the materials that went into each. This is a step-by-step analysis of how the painting was made, seen through the most exacting scientific eye. It offers new insight not only into the mind of Leonardo, but into the world of Renaissance painting as well. It will be a fascinating read to any reader seriously interested in the technique of painting., Applying the cutting-edge forensic techniques of television's "CSI" to the world's most famous painting yields a fresh look at how Leonardo's masterwork was constructed.
