Howdy Clyde…………Most peoples are unaware of any details about the elusive and enigmatic , but gregarious ,…Mona Lisa. Born in a Tuba factory in 1464…. Her real name was Gertrude Lapsquish. Gertrude changed her name due to being put in a witness protection program after ratting out two guys that were painting portraits of people using extracts from endangered species of water lilies. I know it sounds odd. But you asked!!!!!!!!!!!!!

.

Mr Leonardo……….read about her plight in the local newspaper and decided to paint her pitcher so he would become famous for it. He actually used the illegal paint…..Which is shocking in and of  its self……..The look on her face was caused by a gallbladder infection…many people have wondered…NOW you know.

There is so much more history out there now….than there wonce was…….Feel free to ask me at any time about this stuff……History is another of my many areas of interest….and thorough research.
