　【ジュネーブ共同】イタリアの画家レオナルド・ダビンチの代表作「モナリザ」とは別に「若き日のモナリザ」も存在した―。スイスのモナリザ財団は２７日、ジュネーブで１０歳ほど若いモデルを描いた「モナリザ」を公開、３５年に及ぶ調査の結果「ダビンチの作品」と結論付けたと発表した。

　この作品は日本で今年６月まで開かれていた展覧会で、世界で初めて一般公開。この際、財団は「アイルワースのモナリザ」として調査結果を伝えずに展示したが、反響は大きかったという。

　パリ・ルーブル美術館に展示している「モナリザ」より一回り大きく、未完成品で、仕上げは別人とされる。

Mona Lisa: the early years? Art world split over Leonardo da Vinci 'work'

Portrait claimed to be of younger version of painter's muse to be unveiled in Geneva by art foundation

For generations the enigmatic smile of the Mona Lisa has captured the imaginations of thousands of visitors to the Louvre. But now the mythology surrounding the world's most famous painting is being questioned by the unveilling of a supposed second version of the portrait.

The painting, purporting to show a younger portrayal of Leonardo da Vinci's muse, will be presented in Geneva on Thursday by the Swiss-based Mona Lisa Foundation.

It claims that three decades of research suggests that the painting is an earlier version by the Italian Renaissance artist.

"We have investigated this painting from every relevant angle and the accumulated information all points to it being an earlier version of the Giaconda in the Louvre," foundation member and art historian Stanley Feldman, told Reuters.

The foundation contends that the portrait shows a woman who appears to be in her early 20s, a decade younger than the version in the Louvre.

But other art experts are highly sceptical and contend the work is more likely to be a later copy.

Oxford University professor Martin Kemp said the Geneva portrait was probably a copy of the Paris version by an unknown painter who simply chose to make the subject younger, Reuters reported.

"So much is wrong," said Kemp, a world-recognised authority on Leonardo, noting that the foundation's portrait is painted on canvas and not on wood, the artist's preferred medium.

The "younger version" – which the Foundation says was probably painted around 1505 – is not new to the art world but has been locked away in a Swiss vault for many years.

It was discovered in 1913 by collector Hugh Blaker in a manor house in the west of England where it had hung for a century unnoticed.

Blaker took it to his home in a London suburb, where it was dubbed "the Isleworth Mona Lisa". On his death in 1936, it was bought by American collector Henry Pulitzer. It is currently owned by an international consortium.

The Louvre Mona Lisa, which was in Leonardo's possession when he died, is known as La Giaconda or La Joconde after Lisa Gherardini, wife of the early 16th century Italian nobleman Francesco del Giacondo, who commissioned a portrait of her.
