For several of Leonardo da Vinci's paintings, such as The Virgin and Child with St Anne or the Mona Lisa, there exist copies produced by his own studio. In case of the Mona Lisa, a quite exceptional, rediscovered studio copy was presented to the public in 2012 by the Prado Museum in Madrid. Not only does it mirror its famous counterpart superficially; it also features the very same corrections to the lower layers, which indicates that da Vinci and the 'copyist' must have elaborated their panels simultaneously. On the basis of subjective (thirty-two participants estimated painter-model constellations) as well as objective data (analysis of trajectories between landmarks of both paintings), we revealed that both versions differ slightly in perspective. We reconstructed the original studio setting and found evidence that the disparity between both paintings mimics human binocular disparity. This points to the possibility that the two Giocondas together might represent the first stereoscopic image in world history.
达·芬奇的几幅画作,比如《圣安妮与圣母、圣子》或《蒙娜丽莎》,都有其工作室制作的复制品。就《蒙娜丽莎》而言,2012年马德里普拉多博物馆向公众展出了一幅极为特别、重新发现的工作室复制品。它不仅在表面上与那幅著名的原作相似;在底层的修改上也完全相同,这表明达·芬奇和“复制者”肯定是同时绘制这两块画板的。基于主观数据(32名参与者对画家与模特组合的估计)以及客观数据(对两幅画地标之间轨迹的分析),我们发现两个版本在透视上略有不同。我们重建了最初的工作室场景,发现有证据表明两幅画之间的差异模仿了人类双眼视差。这表明这两幅《蒙娜丽莎》有可能共同构成了世界历史上第一幅立体图像。
