"
Most days, security guards and ushers keep the flow of tourists to a regular pace Often lines to see the Mona Lisa stretch for dozens of yards During World War II, French authorities hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces "It's really a boring painting, she's just sitting there And nearly everyone seems to have an opinion about it Mona Lisa's Deterioration Causes Concern
Apr 26, 5:20 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 "It's bad for the picture, I know The identity of the model is not known
The last real work on the Mona Lisa dates to the mid 1950s, when experts removed several age spots
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
"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 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
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 said the "state of conservation" of the most famous artwork in France's most famous museum "has aroused some worry
But some visitors, after hearing about the Mona Lisa's woes, felt a little guilty for using their flashes
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 Mona Lisa is seen each year by nearly all the 6 million people who visit the Louvre "
Her father-in-law, retired police officer Eugene Rosini, said he finds meaning in the Mona Lisa's smile Just last year, it was on the cover of Dan Brown's best seller, "The Da Vinci Code," and figured in the plot
The work is clearly a survivor
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
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
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
"
The painting has yellowed from layers of varnish applied over the centuries, but the Louvre has resisted pressure to touch it up
The Louvre says the most recent analysis can be done without taking the painting out of the public eye
"Her popularity is just based on what has happened over the years," said Joanne Rosini, 40, an animal trainer from Brooklyn The Mona Lisa now has its own wall; next year it will get its own room
"It's our fault, I know," said Mikhail Kouzmenko, a Moscow executive, after a friend snapped him, smiling, in front of the painting
Some seasoned visitors say they have noticed changes
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
