The colors in her garments prove that she is a member of the powerful Italian Sforza-Visconti dynasty. Leonardo was a court painter for the Milanese noble house for over 17 years. The long veil she is wearing is worn ONLY and specifically by the Milanese duchesses in mourning. There were only 4 Duchesses before the French overthrew the Milanese. Three were blond. Her identity is without dispute: Isabella of Aragon, daughter of King Alfonso II of Naples, and the young widow of Gian Galeazzo II Maria Sforza, Duke of Milan. see kleio.org If the sitter in the painting was really Salai or Leonardo in drag, why did not the French King, who became the owner of the painting and knew Leonardo’s face, make this conclusion? Why would he even want to own such a rediculous painting? Leonardo had just been aquitted of sodomy, why then would he paint himself in a dress? These assumptions were only started by 19th century biographers and pycho-analyst, and are now in the 21st century accepted as politically correct facts though unsubstantiated by historical facts. The mystery was solved 10 yrs ago, by historian and author Maike Vogt-Luerssen. It is time to stop the lies of the world’s most famous painting. To learn more of Leonardo’s EPIC life, based in 100′s of historical facts and visual evidences left in the paintings of his closest contemporaries see the above website and follow the facebook link. in English and German. Thank you. This painting is extremely important, but it puzzles me why it has not gotten due recognition years ago.

]]> Comment on Paris …where to live … least/most inhabitants … by Nina F http://www.marilynztomlins.com/articles/paris-where-to-live-leastmost-inhabitants/#comment-1965 Nina F Sun, 29 Jan 2012 13:46:48 +0000 http://www.marilynztomlins.com/?p=2683#comment-1965 Great post - lots of things I didn't know here! Wow, 13 million people in extended Paris, that's almost 3 times as many people as in entire Norway (my ex-country). The 18ème can be very cozy and charming, but also rather scary, especially near Pigalle and in the north. I lived at Montmartre for my first months in Paris and I was robbed twice. I've been living in the 7ème for 3 years now, and it's so true what you write - it's quiet - and I love that, I feel so safe here. I could happily go on living in the 7ème for the rest of my life. But I also LOVE the 16ème and the 6ème, it's not unlikely I'll move there in the future... If Americans ask me which arrondissement I recommend in Paris, I always answer the 7ème, I feel that's the most "American" arrondissement in Paris with two American shops, American library, and lots of Anglophones. :-) Where in Paris do you live, Marilyn? (Unless it's a secret... ;-) Great post – lots of things I didn’t know here! Wow, 13 million people in extended Paris, that’s almost 3 times as many people as in entire Norway (my ex-country).
