Mon Salai    

This is a painting of Salai Giacomo. He was taken in by Da Vinci as a child and ended up staying with him until Leo's death for a total of 25 years. At some point they became lovers. When I found this painting on wikepedia it had no known painter meaning no one knew who painted it. During the course of writing a different version of my book I "Discovered" that this painting perfectly aligned with the Mona Lisa when they were superimposed over each other. This led me, obviously to think that Da Vinci painted it.

It was painted in 1495-1500ish. This was before Da Vinci started on the Mona Lisa. For the Mona Lisa to align with this painting of Salai - it would mean that Da Vinci purposly planned for this. It would be impossible for at least one of the paintings to be not based off the other. How else could this be?

'If liberty is dear to you, may you never discover that my face is love's prison.' Da Vinci

 

I think this cryptic quote shows that this was Da Vinc's intent and is why I called my book: The Anatomy of Mona Lisa: Love's Prison. Because that is what it is. Da Vinci's painting of the "Mona Lisa" really contains (is imprisoned) within itself Da Vinci's legacy. His own self portrait (his face) combines with the Mona Lisa to unlock this prison and liberate his legacy. Not only does his self portrait match up with the Mona Lisa, they both also combine with yet another painting from 500 years ago never credited to a painter, but which I show in my book Da Vinci must have painted.

 

 

Discovering Da Vinci's Daughter's title was chosen because it explained how and why I concluded that the Mona Lisa's true idenity is Da Vinci's "Daughter" But since he didn't have a real child - he painted it instead. And since he was gay, and could have been burned at the stake for it - he had to keep it secret. The desire to leave behind a legacy - in either art or as a son or daughter is innate in everyone. Everyone wants to be remembered. This was his way of leaving behind one very popular "off spring" The Mona Lisa is the most famouse piece of art in existence today. He succeeded.

 

 

Salai's name, which means "little Satan" is used more than any other in all of Da VInci's journals.

 

Lisa Giacondo? Salai's last name is Giacomo. Coincidence?

 

Giacondo | Giacomo

 

La Gioconda is another title of the Painting "mona lisa"

 

Mona Lisa as an anagram is "Mon Salai" which means "My Salai" in French. In my book I show other double meanings in both Italian and French that Da Vinci has also used. This is not a coincidence.

 

It also forms M(mona), on Salai.  Like "put M" on Salai.

 

Although it could seem like a coincidence, it is not. When you consider that a painting of Salai combines and aligns perfectly over the Mona Lisa - it's obvious the title alludes to this.

 

Something that didn't dawn on me until I almost finished my book was how significant the order of these three images would be.

 

• 1495 - The Painting of Salai
• 1503 - 1507 The Mona Lisa (I refute this in my book and lengthen the dates)
• 1516 - His self portrait sketch.

 

If these dates are accurate - which all my research and common sense confirms - it proves that The Mona Lisa was designed around the painting of Salai. If these two paintings combine perfectly they would have had to been designed to do so (not to mention all the other clues to support this) They could not have been completed without the other. Even if someone else were to have painted the painting of Salai, Da Vinci would have had to have seen and used it to base the Mona Lisa off of.

 

What does this mean? Why would Da Vinci do all of this? You'll have to read my book for a complete answer.

 

Without giving too much away, the Mona Lisa is Da Vinci's painted daughter.

This one shows the painting of Mona Lisa combining with that of Salai. Notice how they align and combine almost perfectly. The painting of Salai was painted before the Mona Lisa (1495) So Da Vinci would have had to base the Mona Lisa off of Salai for this to happen. Not only that but an anagram of Mona Lisa is "Mon Salai" or "M on Salai" which is more than a coincidence seeing as these paintings do match up, and obviously Da Vinci planned for this to happen.

Further evidence that Salai was influential Da Vinci's art - and eludes to a hidden meaning is "John The Baptist" which was one of Leonardo's last paintings. Although it's titled "John The Baptist" it's really a portrait of Salai, but older this time.

Salai:

These were images of Salai. He was used as the model for:

John the Baptist?

As it did with the other image of Salai - "John the Baptist" also aligns with the Mona Lisa. All alluding to a Salai - Mona - Da Vinci intentional combination. And where the title "Discovering Da Vinci's Daughter" comes from...

After this again it may seem that any two faces could align like this. The point is that I believe these paintings, and their titles - all of which were created by the same person (Da Vinci) were designed to tell a story. They all have secrets that can't be understood until you put all the pieces together.
