"I told you earlier that Sarai was doted upon by Leonardo. Lisa, on the other hand, seems to have been highly esteemed by her husband, Francesco. Francesco's last will and testament states, This testator (Francesco himself) sends his sincere love and gratitude to his beloved wife, Mona Lisa (meaning my Lisa). To repay her for her constant noble and faithful behavior, I hope she will have everything she needs in the future........" [Note 14] [Note 15].
"Wow, Francesco loved his wife that much."
"Yes, he loved his wife that much. I think that Sarai also loved Leonardo and Lisa also loved Francesco. Sarai apparently lived with Leonardo for about 30 years, and Lisa had five children with Francesco, and also raised a child with Francesco's second wife, Camilla, along with their five children [Note 14]."
"Wow."
"And there seems to be a clue hidden in this painting, though it cannot be seen with the naked eye."
"clue ?"
"In October 2010, the Daily Mail reported that art historian Silvano Vencetti had discovered minute letters in the eyes of the Mona Lisa, including Leonardo's initials. He said the right eye depicts Leonardo's initials, LV, and the left eye has a symbol that appears to be CE or B.[Note 1][Note 16]"
"Huh? Leonardo's initials on the right eye, could that be ......"
"Yes. Perhaps Leonardo left the initials of the person who was actually reflected in the model's eyes. If so, then the model on the right is the one who was watching Leonardo, which is probably Sarai."
"Then the CE or B in the left eye is ......"
"I think it is B Mr. Francesco's full name is Francesco di Bartolomeo di Zanobi del Giocondo [Note 14]. The letter B is probably the B for Bartolomeo. If so, the model on the left is the person who was watching her husband, Bartolomeo, i.e., his wife, Lisa."
"I see! So that means..."
"Yes. I think Leonardo probably painted the initials of the person whom the model would have loved the most at that time on the eyes of the model. In each of their eyes, which were filled with love."
