For nearly half a millenium the mysterious smile of Leonardo da Vinci’s muse has puzzled the world. Why is she smiling so coyly? What message is she sending? And to whom? After a couple of years of research a painter from Prokuplje has the answer!

The mystery of Mona Lisa’s blissful smile, hiding behind the famous renaissance painter’s masterpiece, has finally been solved! Or so one painter from Prokuplje claims.

Namely, Vladimir Novaković has, after years and years of research, discovered why is the woman whose identity remains unknown even after half a millennium smiling so inexplicably vaguely.

“I’ve been working on this painting for a long time and I’ve been thinking about Mona Lisa and her secret even longer. I believe I have discovered the reason for her mysterious smile. It lies in the position of her hands which are resting on her belly and her obvious pregnancy. ’’, explained Novaković in the “Fli-Art” gallery in Prokuplje during an exhibition of his own paintings.

Now, only the question remains of whether this Serbian painter has a point. It’s not so far-fetched to think that the position of Mona Lisa’s hands and her blissful smile can be attributed to her being with child.

On the other hand, there are those who think this conclusion has little to do with the real truth and that the reason behind Mona Lisa’s mysterious smile will never be found out.

So, what are your thoughts on this?
