Talk about a mystery. I remember one time when I was a kid and went hiking in the woods. I bet I must have been a good two miles deep into the woods. And I saw trees. I then crossed over this small creek and saw more trees with branches and limbs. And leaves. Some of the branches had leaves and some did not, so you all be careful when hiking. Not sure just how this might be related to this video but if you happen to be in the woods and start seeing branches with leaves on them be on the look out and good luck.

The Mona Lisa Smile A subliminal foreshortened bridge. The bridge marries two scenic landscapes on each side of her face drawing focus to her smile. Darkness, shadow, and light is transformed into a smile that Pinnacles laterally across her face. Thus, creating a visual bridge that transcends the Mona Lisa face. A mirage of a near perfect third dimension. An illusionary idea expressed in paint through the viewer’s eye imprinting on to the mind as a visual subliminal. daVinci divides consciousness and the unconscious with a visual illusion. An intentional deception to master and deceive an overt eye of visual perception as it is perceived by the viewer’s eye. Leonardo da Vinci mastered the subliminal mind and the overt eye with paint to fashion the Mona Lisa Smile. G. B.-Garcia 2019(cc)

@artofthepossible7329 3 жыл бұрын

Will Durant was born in 1885 and died in 1981, I think (as I have only experienced his work from this channel and so cannot properly confirm) this came from The Greatest Minds and Ideas of All Time, which was published posthumously.

I despair when I read these comments. How badly we have sunk. Few if any made what could even come close to an intelligent comment. I have most of Will Durant's writings and have read most of them; he is by far the best story teller I've ever come across. Sadly his early encounter with a Catholic Jesuit Education turned him in another direction where he shows a constant dislike towards supposed Christian topics or events. Failing to recognize the difference between this Catholic Cult from Biblical Christianity shows a bias throughout his work.

She was just used and discarded by the father, as a lot of peasant girls were then. (and still are, probably) and to add to her misery she was not allowed to keep her own child. Don't make unsubstantiated misogynist comments Will Durant, shame on you.
