Mona Lisa's Love child by Cliff Michaels

I like this guy's photo work. So here it is again. Also he is heavily featured in our nifty satirical photo section.



This canvas, painted by a now forgotten student of Leonardo da Vinci in 1508, was recently unearthed from the basement of an ancient convent in Florence, Italy. It offers a tantalizing suggestion that the relationship between the titan of the Renaissance and the enigmatic woman was more than just painter and subject. Giorgio Vasari, the near contemporary biographer, also offers some justification for da Vinci's paternity, writing that da Vinci "immortalized her eyes in paint and flesh." (translation by E. Gromaldi)
