Not Just Another Fake Mona Lisa
并非仅仅是又一个《蒙娜丽莎的微笑》赝品
A researcher at the Prado in Spain has discovered that the museum’s copy of the Mona Lisa was painted by someone working next to Leonardo da Vinci while he created the original.
一位西班牙普拉多的研究者近日发现，博物馆收藏的《蒙娜丽莎》仿品是由一位在列奥纳多•达•芬奇身边工作的徒弟在列奥纳多•达•芬奇创作《蒙娜丽莎》原作时临摹的。
The Discovery（第一幅图片解说）发现
Infrared reflectography reveals drawing lines under the paint, invisible to the naked eye. Every adjustment that Leonardo made on his underlying drawing was repeated in the copy, indicating that the two pieces were painted in tandem. The orange dots show where adjustments were made in both paintings. The arrows point to adjustments made to the head by the two painters。
红外线反射复制法显现出了油画的绘画线条，而这是肉眼不可见的。列奥纳多•达•芬奇所进行的每一个暗含在作品里的涂层调整都被呈现在了这幅仿品中，这表明这两幅作品是相继绘制的。橙色圆点表示两幅画作中进行涂层调整的位置。箭头指的是两位画家对头部进行的涂层调整。
The Copy’s Restoration（第二幅图片解说） 仿品复原
A layer of black paint covered the background of the copy of the Mona Lisa, left. The black layer was removed during a recent restoration, revealing a preserved background.
左边的《蒙娜丽莎》仿品以黑色涂层为背景。黑色涂层在近期的复原中被移除，显露出原来的背景。
Insights 深入剖析
The restored copy provides some insights into the original masterpiece. Its underlying drawing is crisper and helps in understanding the original. The copy shows details in the texture of the mountains and the folds of the garment, for example, that are hidden behind the old varnish in the original.
复原的仿品对深入理解这幅原创巨作提供了一些思路。仿品的绘画线条干脆利落并能够帮助理解原作。这幅仿品展现出了山脉纹理和服装褶皱的细节部分，比如，隐藏在原作光泽面下的细节部分。
