Here's what the Mona Lisa's daughter would look like if she were alive

Would you be surprised to know that the famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci, the Mona Lisa, hides a secret?

However, the secret is not in the painting itself. Numerous analyses have been conducted, and everything there is to understand about that painting has certainly been uncovered.

Yet, there’s still something unexplained.

That smile remains not completely understood. Lisa Gherardini, the woman depicted in the painting… her face made famous and immortal by the renowned artwork. Behind that smile, she conceals a personal, dramatic event: the loss of a child.

A terrible event that perhaps goes unnoticed today, 500 years later, but was certainly a dominant event in the life of the Mona Lisa during her time.

It was the discovery of this fact that led Alex to ponder for a long time about the creation of a new painting.

What would her face look like? What would her features be if she were alive?

This series of questions was the foundation of the investigation that culminated in the painting created in 2023.

In this video, Stacy talks about how she witnessed its creation, sharing the design process and the emotion involved.
