Mona Lisa is based in part on Leonardo da Vinci's male lover, an Italian art detective claims.
Silvano Vincenti, who has been analyzing da Vinci's world-renowned painting for years, believes it is not just based on Lisa Gherardini, a Florentine merchant's wife, but also the artist's supposed main male squeeze, Gian Giacomo Caprotti.
"The Mona Lisa is androgynous — half man and half woman," he told the Telegraph. "You see it particularly in Mona Lisa's nose, her forehead and her smile."
