Secret of some famous paintings

One thing I love about art is understanding the stories that the painter was trying to tell. Sometimes, it's obvious what the painting means, whereas on other occasions, its true meaning isn't so obvious. For me this is all part of the charm of great art.

Monalisa smile

Joseph E. Borkowski is an art expert and dentist, who trusted his instincts on this one, and examined Mona's mouth for abnormalities. He spotted a scar around her lips, he said that the renowned lady must have lost a lot of teeth. He explains that her type of smile is actually typical of those without teeth.

Black square

This painting seems like a big black square, However, the artist used no black paint at all - he simply combined various other colors together. Secondly, there is no square either. None of the sides are parallel with each other, and the same goes for the whitish frame, amazing right?

Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I, Gustav Klimt

Here is the mystery behind this most famous illustration. It's an excellent love triangle saga. The artist, Klimt, fell for the woman pictured here, and her husband learned of their affair. The husband coolly handed the situation and made a plan to dull the lovers' passion. He simply and secretly hired the painter to paint his wife, ordering him to take hundreds of sketches and to spend a few years on the work. Here is the result of those labors. And what became of the artist and muses's passion? Just as the husband hoped, it was completely dulled. What an amazing thing!

The Old Fisherman,Csontváry Kosztka Tivadar.

Here, a masterpiece an old sad tired man but wait there is more in this painting
When a mirror is placed at the center of the painting it is possible to see two separate faces. The left side (the man's right) is a godly, father figure. The other side is a quite devilish being. The artist's ingenuity in managing to place both these aspects harmoniously within one simple fisherman is really incredible. He has managed to show the two sides of humanity, the good and the evil. This is truly a work of art that could only be properly understood after the secret was revealed.
