I tracked this down in Rome. It is very impressive.\nI have put a link in for you in the sources.\n\nWhat of the interesting facial features on this Moses? Some think that, in the beard, a silhouette of Michelangelo is visible. \n\nThe horns have elicited various interpretations. The likeliest explanation is that Michelangelo relied on Jerome's vulgate translation of the Old Testament. In this commonly available version, the "rays of light" that were seen around Moses' face after his meeting with God on Mt Sinai were expressed as horns. Some people believe that Jerome's intention was to express a metaphor for the glory of God reflected from Moses's face.\n.

Ok, once again, you found it in the fiction section, correct? Then it is not true. Fiction=non truths. \nDan Brown didn't do his homework, not even historically. (Definitely not Biblically.) Aquila wasn't there, Dan Brown wasn't there, and the painting? That was made about what ?? 1200- 1500 years later? Doubt if he knew who sat where, or what they looked like. \nThe council that was suppose to have voted on Jesus's divinity, did no business on that supposed " big day," and on and on and on....\nOh, by the way, why didn't Jesus take time out to say goodbye to his wife and son when He was on the cross? Took time out for other important people...(Would have had to be a son, to carry on the bloodline, and they always put the sons in the picture.)\nCome on, something that big would have been recorded in the Bible. Jesus was the authority. The New Testament is largely about Him.  If he had been married, it would have been accepted, would have been ok,  and would have been written.

well i dont know much all i know is that mona lisa has no eyebrows because supposebly woman with no eyebrows back then were really hot.\n\nlol ha i just copied this from another yahoo answer lol She's famous because of the mystery that surrounds her. Here's a little bit about her from the Louvre's website.\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=1006052502793\n\nThis portrait was doubtless painted in Florence between 1503 and 1506. It is thought to be of Lisa Gherardini, wife of a Florentine cloth merchant named Francesco del Giocondo - hence the alternative title, La Gioconda. However, Leonardo seems to have taken the completed portrait to France rather than giving it to the person who commissioned it. It was eventually returned to Italy by Leonardo's student and heir Salai. It is not known how the painting came to be in François I's collection. \n\n\n\nDescription \n\n\nLisa Gherardini, wife of Francesco Giocondo\n\nThe history of the Mona Lisa is shrouded in mystery. Among the aspects which remain unclear are the exact identity of the sitter, who commissioned the portrait, how long Leonardo worked on the painting, how long he kept it, and how it came to be in the French royal collection. \nThe portrait may have been painted to mark one of two events - either when Francesco del Giocondo and his wife bought their own house in 1503, or when their second son, Andrea, was born in December 1502 after the death of a daughter in 1499. The delicate dark veil that covers Mona Lisa's hair is sometimes considered a mourning veil. In fact, such veils were commonly worn as a mark of virtue. Her clothing is unremarkable. Neither the yellow sleeves of her gown, nor her pleated gown, nor the scarf delicately draped round her shoulders are signs of aristocratic status. \n\n\nA new artistic formula\n\n\nThe Mona Lisa is the earliest Italian portrait to focus so closely on the sitter in a half-length portrait. The painting is generous enough in its dimensions to include the arms and hands without them touching the frame. The portrait is painted to a realistic scale in the highly structured space where it has the fullness of volume of a sculpture in the round. The figure is shown in half-length, from the head to the waist, sitting in a chair whose arm is resting on balusters. She is resting her left arm on the arm of the chair, which is placed in front of a loggia, suggested by the parapet behind her and the two fragmentary columns framing the figure and forming a "window" looking out over the landscape. The perfection of this new artistic formula explains its immediate influence on Florentine and Lombard art of the early 16th century. Such aspects of the work as the three-quarter view of a figure against a landscape, the architectural setting, and the hands joined in the foreground were already extant in Flemish portraiture of the second half of the 15th century, particularly in the works of Hans Memling. However, the spacial coherence, the atmospheric illusionism, the monumentality, and the sheer equilibrium of the work were all new. In fact, these aspects were also new to Leonardo's work, as none of his earlier portraits display such controlled majesty. \n\n\nAn emblematic smile\n\nThe Mona Lisa's famous smile represents the sitter in the same way that the juniper branches represent Ginevra Benci and the ermine represents Cecilia Gallerani in their portraits, in Washington and Krakow respectively. It is a visual representation of the idea of happiness suggested by the word "gioconda" in Italian. Leonardo made this notion of happiness the central motif of the portrait: it is this notion which makes the work such an ideal. The nature of the landscape also plays a role. The middle distance, on the same level as the sitter's chest, is in warm colors. Men live in this space: there is a winding road and a bridge. This space represents the transition between the space of the sitter and the

One of Leonardo's greatest achievements was his painting of\nthe last supper, considered by many to be his greatest\nwork. The last supper is barely visible now because he\ndecided to work in his usual easygoing way and not at the\nspeed that frescos normally take. He decided to develop a\nnew way to do them. This Painting inspired many of the\npeople who saw it. \n\n\nLeonardo was not a great person according to the great\nperson theory of history. This theory states that history\nis motivated primarily by the opinions, actions and\nthoughts of people not by political or economic factors.\nThe characteristics of the great person theory are:\ncharisma or personal magnetism, the ability to inspire,\ndecisiveness under pressure, bravery, self confidence and\nassurance in a given plan of action. Leonardo's greatness\nwas not a product of the times in which he lived. Many of\nhis inventions were lost only to be rediscovered fifty to a\nhundred years later. He did many incredible paintings and\nfrescos for churches and cathedrals that never would have\nbeen done today and if they were they would not have been\nas revered.

All of the artwork and architecture is true and the Priory of Sion really was a secret society of which Leonardo da Vinci was a member, but the underlying story is fiction.  Read the fact page at the beginning of the book (it's right after the title page and before the prologue).
