do not know how to nationals of other countries, but the Ukrainians Louvre should be named the Mona Lisa or Mona Lisa. Why? So it's clear as day. Ask ordinary Ukrainians, what pictures are stored in this luxurious museum, and in the first place you hear the name of Mona Lisa, written by the great Leonardo da Vinci.

When a tour guide at the Louvre finally spoke about the Mona Lisa, I felt like home. She, like as not painted by some of our masters. She did not sberigaetsya in our museum. The heroine is not Ukrainian. Nevertheless - it - as if our compatriot. At one time, even when the existence of the USSR, it was brought to Kiev. It was a huge queue at the exhibition where the painting was exhibited. I confess, I did not go and see a masterpiece painting. But all this is such a vesh, which then unites us - even if we are in the queue do not stand. About Mona Lisa then hodilo so many rumors - that she was general secretary of the USSR, then someone from his entourage, then some other nonsense.

In the Louvre, I was convinced that the Mona Lisa, as a living pop star. What did not talk about it. And that she was the embodiment of chastity - the wife of a neighbor's Leonardo. Others say that she was then married, but maintained a love affair with a sort of aristocrat. They say that it is just figment of imagination of the artist. And in the end - it is really self-portrait of da Vinci, as if he were so encrypt their internal appearance.

All these versions of test hardly possible. Well, exist on their own - let there be. But a strange feature of this portrait I checked with my own eyes in the Louvre. The guide told us that if we go from left to right and follow closely the pattern, the heroine of the first looks like a young girl, but in the end - already a mature woman. Moreover, in the end it appears on the veil. I have done this experiment, and I want to show that it is the truth! At the same time I realize that it could be a psychological effect - that is, people say they believe and see what they want to see. Believe me, I adjusted myself as soon as possible skeptical. But the reality has convinced me. Here are just a veil I never saw.

When today after visiting the Louvre, I asked what I saw there, I will not be original. In the first call - La Gioconda. Although there are many paintings that consider them all - life is not enough.
