She was a real person...Yahoo did a news thing on her recently--they figured out exactly who she was-Lisa Gheradini....follow the link.
No heresy. Just History. ..and Art.
PS...It occurs to me--you MAY have meant Here say..rather than Heresy....one meaning-not quite fact..the other meaning-bold faced attacks on religion....
So if I interpreted you correctly--yes,it was questionable just who Mona Lisa actually was. For centuries-there were only guesses that it may have been Lisa Gheradini..now they've found some old notes-from that exact time period-documenting and proving precisely who she in fact really was: and she was Lisa Gheradini.
My apologies for any possible misunderstandings.

Beep! Da Vinci Code Alert! No,Baby,the Mona Lisa is a commisioned painting of a lady of the court. It's not a young boy,it's not Michalangleo himself or any other nonsense you may have heard. It's just one of the world's most beautiful creations,so let's leave it at that,shall we?

Truth or heresy? Can't something be both?

what are you talking about? what's not truthful about it? just because we think it's a huge mystery who it was (which it isn't, it's been known who it was for ages), doesn't make it untruthful. not sure what you are getting at. something from the da vinci code? no idea. it's just a picture of a lady. plain and simple.
