最新研究:蒙娜丽莎原型是达芬奇亲密男学徒？

An expert has claimed to have unravelled the mystery behind the world-faMous Mona Lisa painting - saying the model was a man and Leonardo da Vinci's lover.

一位专家宣称自己揭开了世界名画《蒙娜丽莎的微笑》之后的秘密——画中人的原型，不但是个男模，还是达芬奇的情人。

Artist da Vinci has proved an endless talking point for conspiracy theorists looking for hidden meanings in his Mona Lisa's real identity remains shrouded in mystery with a silk merchant's wife, Lisa Gheradini, being seen as the most likely model for the was until Silvano Vincetti, chairman of the Italian national committee for cultural heritage, made his startling revelation.

艺术家达芬奇绝对是制造了足够多的谜，留得后世多多少少阴谋论者从他的画作中寻找所谓深藏的秘密。蒙娜丽莎的真实身份，早前都是说是某位丝绸商人的妻子，但却始终留有疑点。直到意大利文化遗产国家委员会主席Silvano Vincetti宣布了他惊世骇俗的大发现。

He said the identity of one of the world's most iconic paintings was a young man called Gian Giacomo Caprotti, also known as i and da Vinci worked together for 25 years and is believed to be the inspiration behind several of the Renaissance artist's Vincetti said the artist and his effeminate apprentice had an "ambiguous" relationship.

他说这幅世界名画的原型是一位年轻男子，名叫Gian Giacomo Caprotti，又名Salai。Salai和达芬奇共事25年，据称为达芬奇不少文艺复兴画作带来了灵感的来源。Vincetti还补充说，达芬奇与这位长相清秀的男学徒之间，有着暧昧的关系。

The expert drew on several of da Vinci's works, including St John the Baptist and the Angel Incarnate, to highlight the similarities of the nose and mouth to that of the Mona Lisa.

这位专家还列举了一系列达芬奇的作品，指出这些画作中的人物鼻子和嘴巴都与蒙娜丽莎有相似之处。

Mr Vincetti also backed up his claims with forensic said: "Close examination of a high-quality digital copy of the portrait had revealed an L for Leonardo and an S for Salai."The findings have been refuted by French art historians at the Louvre museum in Paris, where the Mona Lisa is one of the centre's star attractions.

Vincetti先生不是一个人在战斗，他的身后有法医学证据。他说：“通过超近距离检测一份原作高清电子档，发现画作上留有字母L表示莱昂纳多·达·芬奇，以及S表示Salai”。可这个所谓发现让远在法国罗浮宫的法国艺术历史学家情何以堪。
