This story is making the rounds now, that an art historian is making the startling claim that the model for the Mona Lisa was actually a man.
And I would probably be saying, "Whoa, that really is startling," if it weren't for the fact that, when I visited the Louvre over 30 years ago, the tour guide said exactly the same thing as if it were a long-established fact, and even pointed us to the other painting featuring the same model, hanging in the same gallery.
This is news?
