Some seasoned visitors say they have noticed changes Just last year, it was on the cover of Dan Brown's best seller, "The Da Vinci Code," and figured in the plot During World War II, French authorities hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces The Mona Lisa is seen each year by nearly all the 6 million people who visit the Louvre On Monday, as usual, rubbernecking tourists peered at the painting, and camera flashes went off with the speed and frequency of a Paris fashion show " The painting has yellowed from layers of varnish applied over the centuries, but the Louvre has resisted pressure to touch it up The work is clearly a survivor Experts believe Leonardo painted the Mona Lisa in Italy over a long period beginning about 1505 "It's a smile to tempt her lover," he said with a wry grin â€â€? acknowledging that the come-hither look might have worked on him But some visitors, after hearing about the Mona Lisa's woes, felt a little guilty for using their flashes In 1911, an Italian house painter stole the masterpiece, saying he planned to return it to Italy; it was recovered two years later in Florence and sent back to France "We lived in Paris in 1962 and 1963 â€â€? she seemed brighter back then," said Enid Kushner, 74, a retired lawyer from Cleveland Leonardo's masterwork â€â€? now nearly 500 years old â€â€? is inspected every one to two years The Mona Lisa now has its own wall; next year it will get its own room The Louvre said the "state of conservation" of the most famous artwork in France's most famous museum "has aroused some worry Louvre spokeswoman Aggy Lerolle said the flash photography â€â€? which is "theoretically forbidden" at the museum â€â€? is not believed to be the cause of the painting's deterioration " Most days, security guards and ushers keep the flow of tourists to a regular pace Mona Lisa's Deterioration Causes Concern Apr 26, 3:40 PM EST The Mona Lisa, Leonardo da Vinci's portrait of the unknown woman with the enigmatic smile, is sparking a new kind of mystery: What is causing the Renaissance masterpiece to deteriorate so quickly? The thin, poplar panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since conservation experts last evaluated it, the Louvre Museum said Often lines to see the Mona Lisa stretch for dozens of yards The last real work on the Mona Lisa dates to the mid 1950s, when experts removed several age spots " Her father-in-law, retired police officer Eugene Rosini, said he finds meaning in the Mona Lisa's smile "It's our fault, I know," said Mikhail Kouzmenko, a Moscow executive, after a friend snapped him, smiling, in front of the painting "It's bad for the picture, I know "Her popularity is just based on what has happened over the years," said Joanne Rosini, 40, an animal trainer from Brooklyn First-time visitor Kristy Vander Ploeg, 23, of Toronto, said: "I didn't expect it to look like that â€â€? it's a lot more faded than I thought it would be And nearly everyone seems to have an opinion about it For the museum's crown jewel, little is left to chance: The painting is housed in an air-conditioned glass case, and visitors are held back by a waist-high barrier "It's really a boring painting, she's just sitting there The identity of the model is not known Some tourists say the Mona Lisa now is simply feeding off its own fame " The state-run Center for Research and Restoration of Museums of France will conduct a study to better determine what materials the painting is made of and evaluate its vulnerability to temperature changes The admiration that the painting has evoked has been attributed to fascination with Leonardo's genius; the painting's stunning realism and technique; the mystery of the Mona Lisa's identity; and the twists and turns in its history The Louvre says the most recent analysis can be done without taking the painting out of the public eye Cash, 71, died Friday of respiratory failure caused by complications from diabetes The private event at First Baptist Church will be followed by a public memorial still being planned A service for Cash's wife, June Carter Cash, was held at the same church after her death in May Johnny Cash Mourned at Private Funeral Sep 16, 7:08 AM EST Music legend Johnny Cash was remembered at his funeral as a man who cared for the downtrodden and kept his dignity while struggling with demons "He was so modest and humble, and so willing to live with his pain and not make anybody else pay for it," said daughter Rosanne Cash during the 2 1/2-hour service Monday |
