Leonardo da Vinci, Mona Lisa and the Shroud of Turin

The Man Behind the Shroud?
There is a very credible theory that Leonardo created the Shroud of Turin by a photographic technique. Could it be his face?

Radio carbon dating of the fabric of the shroud places it a while before Leonardo's birth so clearly in is a medieval fake as were many relicks. Leonardo wasn't stupid; if he were to try to fake it he would have used old cloth so the dating is consistent.

The Mona Lisa certainly looks like Leonardo. Whether the face on the shroud is him - who knows? It seems to have some similarities. There is a statue of Leonardo I saw which looks rather spookily like the shroud.

Who knows? We probaly never will but given the photographic qualities of the shroud and the fact that Leonardo was using camera obscura and showed interest in photosenstive chemicals while the transformed shroud resurfaced in a village near Leonardo's workshop at a time when he was at his height, it make's you think...

Cruised into a bar on the shore
Her picture graced the grime on the door
She a long lost love at first bite
Baby maybe you're wrong, but you know it's all right
That's right

Backstage we're having the time
Of our lives until somebody say
Forgive me if I seem out of line
Then she whipped out her gun
And tried to blow me away

Dude looks like a lady

So never judge a book by it's cover
Or who you're going to love by your lover
Love put me wise to her love in disguise
She had the body of a Venus
Lord imagine my surprise

Dude looks like a lady

Baby let me follow you down
Let me take a peek dear
Baby let me follow you down
Do me, do me, do me all night
Baby let me follow you down
Turn the other cheek dear
Baby let me follow you down
Do me, do me, do me, do me

Ooh what a funky lady
She like it, like it, like it, like that,
Ooh he was a lady

Dude looks like a lady

Dude, dude, dude, dude looks like a lady

Monalisa was the wife of an aristocrat, last name was Gioconda. Leonardo took 3 years to paint it, he was obsessed with her. One of the striking things is that she was about 35 which in those days was very old to have such a portrait done.

Regarding Leonardo and the shroud... highly doubtful. After reading much about Leonardo and his history he would not have had the time, patience, or even desire to complete such a herculean task... and it really looks nothing like him.

the theory is that the mona lisa was a painting of his mother :)

@Rambleon31 They used a computer in a documentary to find out the shroud is absolutely Da Vinci. He made exact measurements in his face and then repeated them in his work.

superimpose any pair of eyes, a nose, a mouth and you willl get anybody you choose to imagine.

Yes all images from the past with long hair and a beard are secretly of Leonardo. Actually, since you drew a beard on the Mona Lisa, the long hair and beard don't even have to be there already. Even still lifes and landscapes are secretly self-commentaries by Da Vinci.

i think the painting is of leonardo's secret boyfriend
